Yeah, especially the noticeable lag on the LV on moving object.

When I take my baby, have to see her directly rather than LV to capture the "moment"......

Yeah, I knew about the inferior viewfinder but I was going for the LV instead (among other things).

I see. The other advantage of the a550 over lower range is that the LCD has 3x more pixel, making viewing of pictures taken so much nicer.

it could be due to the lens used during the test,...

I don't usually cook but here goes!


ReasonsofThanatos: That is a badly done comparison. The studio shot was at 50mm F10.0 1/20s!

1/20s is no guarantee that it will be clear of motion blur. It also looks misfocused.

So go tell your friend to look at more professionally-done reviews.

btw you satisfy with you F20 flash? or you thinking of f42 or f58 alr? you need a nice wedding pic you sure need a nice flash gun..especially dinner part..

taking baby, u should use smile shutter to capture smile... and A550 is the only dslr with smile shutter. other camera brand can never implement smile shutter on their cam due to thier LLV (lagging live view)

wah UWA..

Aiyooo.... some more poison..... I'm happy with the F20 at the moment (as it was FOC) but I think I will probably upgrade to something better next time......

Owh, haven't use that feature yet. I'm trying to play with the manual settings but get some awful off-colour pictures!

Thx for the info, will try it next time.

i also suspected misfocus...how u know it's on F10.0 and 1/20s bro??if that's d case maybe handshake ruined it...

by checking exif

since my intention of opening a special treads of a330 failed..so just focus on this tread only lor..for my a330

i tried to figure out..how to choose a focus point during photo shoot..using auto focus mode.
the auto focus normally auto-detects object that we focus..and most of the time this feature is not smart enough to detect our desired object.
i read somewhere in the manual book that we can actually manually choose focus points while shooting target (auto-focus is turned on)
until now...i still can't do it
anybody can help me..

aiyo bro...dont blame the camera,blame the user la...

if set to wide focus,the camera will detect the nearest object and focus...thats why sometimes u see the camera wont focus to the desire subject...check back ur manual bro...try looking for AF Area and set to Local....

im always the fan of center focus point n recompose..wahahaha..altho i know the distance changes a lil when i recompose..but i guess so far the DoF is stil deep enough to cover my usage for portrait/event..for the rest(toy..bug..landscape) i usually use manual focusing..

achew: wat kind of PP do you use to have those faded yellowish color? care to guide me on ur process...like ur color...
