Braynumb: Congratulations!

clivengu: The A700 and A900 have the same number of buttons on the top. I honestly don't use the top LCD of the A900.

jtcs87: The 'body cap' should be in the box.

Kul | Mo0: Tell me about it! That wideness of the beercan on FF is much appreciated because it can focus within a big table.

MechaHerc: It looks like you can.

Left-most compartment: 55-200mm and 18-70mm with back caps facing each other
Middle compartment: A200 + VG-B30AM + 50mm
Right-most compartment: Ultra-wide angle

The flash will fit on your belt (F42 leather pouch has to be modified at a cobbler.)

No need bring blower lah. There is a side pocket outside (not in picture) that can hold the battery and charger.

i don't think so.
but a850/a900 is famous being 'picky' for CF card

that one at least 400 above right? 
the transcend one only 200+

I think I will have to pop my Kingston 32GB in different Alphas to see which ones can read it.

tanjq87: Maybe look for the Kingston 32GB 133x CF from JL Supercom Enterprise in Digital Mall PJ? That's where I got mine and it has not given me any problems at all. (Am not sure if you've met Jeffrey the owner, he has too many A-mount lenses!)

achew: If the filter is bigger then it's usually called a step-up ring.

lwliam: Cute! Wow I can see the nails!

lwliam : Where's the flash workshop? I will be there up till about 3 or 4pm so if you can, meet up after your workshop lor...

What you can molest at TT or during shoot:

A850 - with KM 50mm and KM 24-85mm
F58 cobra
F42 (viper?)
F20 (tentative... trying to buy from seller tonite...)
A100 - the classic Sony DSLR that started the Alpha line!!!
SAL18250

Maybe can do multi-strobe wireless shoot also if 'models' are willing and enough people to hold them flashes around!

but after using it..i think im more towards 135F1.8 + beercan combination now..70200G is a nice lens..i can tahan the weight but it doesnt seem to give me the DoF/bokeh i want...maybe when there is a chance..i should get my hands on 135mm b4 i decide anything =D

just text a shop in jb..they quote me 4850rm for 135mm..but no stock..need to order.. =.=

beercan i think i'll put it on hold for the moment.. =p

I think best to have all three, 24-70 and 70-200 to have for the range and flexibility and the 135 for creative candid and portraiture shots.

urghh talking about FF

just tried 850 at pcfair sony booth...

what a    is... they put 50mm 1.8 attached to it..

jeez... how am I gonna feel the full power of full frame like that lol...

then also molest a550 with 16-105 <-- the lens and body kinda poisonous for me though..

oh btw..
a550+bateri grip+18-250+tripod+memori card+alpha bag(which kolmoo buying) for 4.7k

good deals?

dude, i'm really sorry... but you're comparing a hyperzoom and a telephoto...dun la... beercan's got constant f4 wei... I actually think the beercan is underrated...

>_< is 42AM actually putted wrong XD

and yea .... I did check the sample picture of A550 ... but it seems the noise control were only good in RAW while many people comment the color brightness and noise control on shadow wasn't react so good likewise HDR functionally was quite limited so I need to think twice whether it's worth to upgrade or not .... >_< or perhaps go foward for A700

DoF too shallow..

so 1year later..its my turn for 135 1.8..hehe.just got it few hrs ago...and did few random test shots...i must say its really WOW....lol..i believe it is the lens im looking for...im really satisfied even from those random test shots..imo it makes the model pops out from the background..LOVE IT~~~~~~~~from now on..its gonna be my fav lens..lol..poor 2470 must b crying now..lol

thanks albnok, btw, decided what to buy? 300 F2.8? hehehehe

Is the A550 body Made in Japan or Made in Thailand ?
