my A300 moded

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

DSLRs are not cheap in Australia and New Zealand. Even in the recent boxing day, it'll only match Malaysia's price after GST refund.

If you do happen to be in Melb, drop by Michaels to find some exclusive Monilta lenses.

y_owez: Oh yeah so it should be cheaper! The price won't drop much - at most a RM200-300 drop if they decide to revise their pricing structure.

None of the current Sony Alpha dSLRs have video recording yet. As it is currently all video dSLRs have very slow autofocus in video, or none at all, and it doesn't make sense without an articulated screen. So Sony is holding out until they can make a good video dSLR (none of the current ones are very practical for the average consumer.)

Yes, you can buy it in Malaysia but ask for an international warranty that will be valid in Australia.

y_owez : Hahaha you selling cute Moo Moo shirts. Naise!

cjlai : waseh, awesome stuffs there!

Oh today 1utama having some Sony roadshow oh. Got alpha booth too!

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.

i think someone posted b4 the price fr sonystyle taiwan....  body only about RM1999
