QUOTE(kmarc @ Jan 18 2010, 12:02 AM) Yup. I bought it from the Sony centre in Delta Mall. They do carry the alpha models but don't have many stocks. The guy there "Lawrence" said that they have ordered stocks long time ago but never came. Kapal karam tengah laut.   |

QUOTE(Braynumb @ Jan 17 2010, 11:05 PM) if you're on a budget in the long run, I sugest you get the a450/a500/a550. it's a much better investment than the a380. not sure about the D3000... it's a bit small for me. if you have a small hand, it should be ok. but, if not, then don't bother... it's seriously is uncomfortable to have my pinkie finger hanging below the camera grip while shooting. Maybe by getting a vertical grip would solve the problem. but then it would mean more investment. might as well get a camera that is comfortable in your hands and invest more for lenses. braynumb, not trying to pop ur balloon, just to clarify. And when it comes to lenses, Sony lenses and accessories are quite cheaper than either N or C. but N or C have more variety when it comes to accessories and third party lenses. But, Sony cameras can use Minolta lenses that have a wider variety of ranges. and it's cheaper!  So, it is really up to you. if you're on a budget, get the sony. If you don't mind spending more in the long run, get the Nikon. But please... don't get the D3000. unless you don't mind waiting a while to preview your picture after you take it and having your pinkie finger hanging off the camera when using it. bro, where do you get your Alpha stuff in Sibu? i thought sony center in Delta Mall don't have alpha??? Wah... super long list... but very useful Thanks Albert.nikon and canon might have Original accessories, but they are not any cheaper then what sony has to offer for their own. ever since sony swallowed down a percentage of the DSLR market, so many 3rd party china manufacturer trying to tap into alpha user market, so, almost every 3rd party accessories for N and C, they are now making another connectors for Alpha. and.... third party lenses, minolta been around for years, and yes, there are many 3rd party manufacturer did make lenses for alpha mount (minolta mount). but what makes me really think deep is, how 3rd party offer non VC/OS (like IS/VR) to sony, are sooo much cheaper then the VC/OS unit to N and C... making long run, N and C are not worth it, (since 3rd party lens IQ are the same between S/C/N mount.) even N and C's original lens, non IS/VR are around sony's lenses, which we have SSS, but the IS/VR lenses cost extra. [b]albnok[/] u missed out 75-300 lens under FF -Midrange telephoto zoom:, that could be even cheaper then other 70300.

QUOTE(freddy manson @ Jan 17 2010, 11:22 AM) 85mm is longer so it'll be sharper if u can take the shots from a longer range, his/her body shots.. when she's running, etc etc oh... i see... igtkan he used that canon... F1.4 and F1.8 wont give u as much different if ur still trying.. u should get one. but for IMHO, go for F1.8 and if u feels lke the range is comfortable to you then u can go on with F1.4 if u still think u need the aperture.. and, dont worry 50mm F1.8 sangat laku.. u'll be able to sell it later very fast.. no lah.. he's a fellow alpharian mah.. asking about UV filter saja.. why 'die' pulak?  |

Yes, but that is not everything - the Nikkor 70-300mm F4-5.6G has no VR or AF-S so you can't use it on a D40/D40x/D60/D3000/D5000. The Nikkor 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 VR, while cheaper, only focuses to 1.5 meters close while the Sony 70-300mm F4.5-5.6G SSM focuses to 1.2 meters close. (The Canon also does 1.5 meters.)

Minimum focus distance is measured from the sensor to the subject. The actual working distance will be much less; for example, the Sigma 17-70mm's working distance at maximum magnification is only 3cm from the front element to the subject.
