finejava: No, 70mm on APS-C is not anything like 85mm on FF. It's 105mm which is not wide enough for a head-and-shoulders shot at 1 meter distance (supposing both of you were seated down in a small 4-seater table.) 58mm or 60mm on APS-C gives 85mm on FF.

porkchop: The pixel mapping affects the Quick AF Live View sensor. It sounds like that is what is affected, not the rear LCD, since it does not appear in pictures, just in Quick AF Live View.

achew: It would cost/hurt more if you got a mark on your 135mm's front element... go get your filter already!

cjlai: Nice, I've never seen that split-prism before!

eddybeh: Fungus is contagious so yeah better you send it in.

y_owez: The A380 has 14 megapixels while the A330 has 10 megapixels. I'd say the A330 twin kit is the most value but I'm not sure how much it sells here (never asked.) It seems to be about the same price. So it's up to you if you need Malaysian or Australian warranty...

just curious..is it totally impossible to get the front element changed?or it'd cost alot which just doesnt worth it nomatter what happen to ur front element..

hmm I checked for the new module on A450 .... which is almost the same as A550 but 230k LCD Colors and 2.7 inch screen and no Live View

It was finally released at China and set the retail price on RMB5000 (RM2500) with SAL1855SAM

thanks , doesnt sony give world wide warranty?

i saw another model 350 ( discontinued but on sale i reckon ) if that is under 1 k worth it?

and what benefits do i get if i buy from sony instead of outside shops? ( planning to get a sony laptop too so wondering if got like loyalty thingy * not at the same time of cause * im still ssaving up for this

thanks in advanced

....hmm din check it properly >_< but I'm just mention about the official Sony (China) A450 prices XD

by the way I found the biggest problem for the HDMI port..... I felt stupid on it, why? because they said you need a mini HDMI to HDMI port but surprisingly I found no where has the port to offer ...

achew: It will take a long time, and a friend had that happen to his Zeiss 24-70mm. His AF/MF switch broke, and he sent it in. They changed the lens housing but realized that they'd made a mark on the glass - so it went back to Singapore and they replaced the entire lens glass assembly (Zeiss makes the glass and assembles it, then Sony puts the lens housing around it.) So in all it took 2.5-3 months with complaints. So yeah, a filter will save you all that trouble.

y_owez: As I understand it, International Warranty is where you get to choose one country where the warranty is valid. So the question is, where will you and your camera be for the next 1.5 years? Sony Style shops give more freebies - for example now in Malaysia they give the Survival Kit 2 which has a cap, bottle and a really nice waist bag.

Sonystyle malaysia...u can get the mini hdmi cable there...bear in mind that it doesn't come cheap =D

i depart from kl , u are not rite ?

thank you very much for the info!

as i checked the first page of the thread. 380 twin lens kit is around RM2.4K ( if i didnt see wrong or somewhere that price ) so yea i reckon its way cheaper in malaysia due to the currency rate.

so if i decided to buy in malaysia, then can it be valid in australia or if i buy from malaysia means in malaysia only?? ( as i will prob be in aust more )

and 2 more things, ( paiseh so many questions )

how much will the price drop let says around july or sept?

and does any of the sony dlsr has video feature? ( my friend is asking this )

thanks

abt sharpness i have no comment ...
but ur focal length , mine is fixed len
