honestly, suchap, don't think i will be upgrading if i don't want to go high on ISO... most of the time i take shots in closed environments and suffer serious motion blur caused by slower shutter speeds which is to compensate for the low ISO speed being used, and the the bigger f number to get a wider depth of field.
i am not selling my A200 as still i believe it's a brilliant camera and i'll never forget how it got me into photography

maybe you can try and look for some ebooks and web tutorials to learn how to PP more effectively. self learning is the best way imho.

Thanks alb. I hope the credit card purchase goes smoothly la. anyway, any idea where's the cheapest to get an a850?
I saw the one cj's selling, the tokina, but an MFD of 70cm, is just not my cup of tea. not to mention the Minolta 28-135mm F4-4.5's 1.5 meters. I honestly believe i might get the km 28-75... not gonna be too fussy bout iq since i'm already on a tight budget...

the question is, between the tammy and km, who's faster?
