Do you guys found any good deal on Sony a550?

Added on December 26, 2009, 5:56 amUrm, between:

Sony a550 + CZ1680 and Sony a550 + VG + SAL16105

which is at the same price, which one would you guys prefer?
*
lets see how impt is the VG to u??? to me..im not a fan of VG as i already find my bag very heavy n bulky + i don shoot in portrait mode that often..so my choice is probably 1680...

if u feel u need the grip..then i would suggest u take the latter as the quality btwn 1680 vs 16105 is not VERY VERY big..other than the slight diff in IQ n contrast..maybe u also lose out some aperture..thats all

a normal 133x CF is 20mb/s....so do u wanna have another 10mb/s??
if yes then go for it...really necessary for the one who use drive mode a lot....
*
i know its 50% faster than the usual 133x..but what i mean is..if the difference significant enough for the user to feel it?? 0.0001s is 10 times faster than 0.00001s..but i don think i could "feel" any diff there..hope u get what i mean..

erm..yea..i do use the drive mode often(infact i use it like 90% of the time) as i tend to have 2-3 shots together to avoid eyes blinking..

wanna ask...usually u guys uses which metering mode for portrait, wedding shot and common/general

depend on ur lighting condition..if evenly lighted..i'll use centre weighted...if not i usualy meter on the face of my subject..

achew: do u mean if evenly lighted then u just focus straight to the subject? or do you still meter in a slight darker area then focus on the subject?

and ur usual method is u uses spot metering direct on the subject?
*
i cant use spot metering direct on the subject coz 90% of the time i dont place my subject at the center..

when the lighting condition is good..i choose centre weighted...and straightaway focus on whatever i want to shoot..never touch any metering while shooting..

if i found that the lighting condition isnt very idea(eg: background super bright..the center of the frame very bright and i always place my subject on the side)..i would do AEL on the subject face...

if AEL on the face would make the background totally over exposed(when im not looking for a high-key shot)..sometimes i'd use EV to compensate and find somewhere inbtwn..so that i could edit my RAW during PP to get both the background and subject exposed correctly..

if want the background and subject to be correctly exposed i think matrix metering should do a great job....
*
i find that sometimes if certain part inside the frame is way too bright..the metering wont really work well....but for most of the time..im using centre weighted..unless i spoted something is wrong...or im looking for high-key/low-key
