well, first... ignore the reviews... but read the cons and pros... and read more cons and pros on every website.... and imagine, the cons,... does it exists on other and older bodies. and does that matter?

A100 is a kinda, old camera, with several generation of technology gap to A550.

those who hold A550 knows its a good camera,
those who hold A550 but never hold older camera, they dont realize how much gap A550 create.
those who hold A550 and owns older camera body, they know how much improvement A550 and gone through...

even some A700 user gotten A550 and tumbs up~ for the speed, creative uses (QLV, MFLVc, FaceDetection, auto HDR, etc)...

when people say the body build is lousy or cheap... well, i dont think A200 (sorry, no direct offense to A200 user) is any better then A550, period. why do u compare to an A700 with cost 1k~2k more? why not we just take an A900 direct compare with A550?

for the pricetag A550 hold... i doubt it's any unworthy of it.... it's so worth the cash spended.

but IF, u have intend on A700, i rather advise u wait for A7xx... waiting few months might let u save up another 1k?maybe... but if u dont have intend on A7bodies... then A550 is not a bad nor expensive upgrade.

the hell with the review bout the iso200 problems, u have 14mp, resize it to 10mp (same as A300's pixel) i doubt u find the iso issue appear on the resized picture.  icon_rolleyes.gif

ok.. so lets say i have 3k in my hands. should i get:

a) a550 body only (from sony)

or

b) get the Cobra, any 50mm prime, and a bigger bag.

@Mikeshashimi

Personally.. I would go for A550. A100 to A550 is huge.

@Willy
How long did Sony SC take to clean your sensor last time.. I miss my toy already sad.gif

dreadlessdream: It is definitely a movement heh. I can't make out whether it's a chick though. biggrin.gif

And yes, the hotshoe on the A300 can be replaced quickly. The Sony Service Center has a whole box of them.

achew: Yes, that is even more parts of the message!

Banzai_san: You have it SPOT ON! The first point, and the second point. The second point is what most people miss.

Monkeys appear to be capable of independent thought and yet, they do follow the group. I saw them all walking along a railing in Bukit Malawati. Some will sit around and ponder, and some will have itchy backside and start going where the others are. They only went up hill, not downhill, indicating some intent to follow the crowd. (Which makes me wonder what makes the monkeys go downhill first!)

I saw the dead tree and the green tree, and that they were jumping. I originally intended to just catch them in midair. But when I saw this picture much later, which was supposed to be a 'bad shot' because the monkey jumped to a branch that was out of frame (or so we'd think) I realized I had a message!

It is about people who jump ship. They see their friend on the other side, and they jump. But jumping is a risk; you make sacrifices. (Hence, the falling.) One thing for sure is that you will lose money because what you buy over there will not have the same value (or you have to sell a lot more to buy a little bit.)

(And yes, it also says that some people who jump ship just follow only and are therefore monkeys, heh heh.)

I like your crane series. I guess it also confirms a discussion in Dyxum that the A550 is a lot better at AF tracking.

braindead_fr3ak: Wow, I didn't even notice the monkey on the right, stretching his/her arms out! Also, you seem to have left and right reversed. tongue.gif

freddy manson: I've seen 2 bad cases of Nikon droppage. One D90 fell from about 4 feet on its back, resulting in a warped shutter (it's supposed to be 3 flat pieces but 1 of them had a wave shape!) Repair was RM5xx. The other case was a D50 with the viewfinder 'frame' warped so you could see a upside-down Marlboro-logo shaped viewfinder.

wha7ever: Er no; I am not going to sell either Zeiss! biggrin.gif

lugiamcg: As in, from a Lego one to a more realistic one.

Mikeshashimi: If you like the A550, who cares what people think? If you get INSPIRED by it, go get it.

ieR: Indeed - the Nikkor 135mm F2.0 DC is so hard to come by and it costs a lot more than the Nikkor 85mm F1.8! I do find it funny that even when it comes to M42 lenses, the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm F3.5 is more popular than the Jupiter-9 85mm F2.0.

signither: An inspection is due!

thats why i put faith on my a350 when doing hikings.. coz i know if it fells from my hand then oni the 'soft' spot will get broken (if the fall is minimum lah)..

hahaha...albert.. i know .... i was thinking of the possibility of the framing...because in your picture..only part of the tree is shown....who knows...from that point of view...the left is dead and the right is alive.... but maybe ..if taken from a wider point of view...its the opposite......symbolizing..the narrow view of ppl who jump ship..they see the good points of the other brand and the bad points of sony(left tree) but they dont see the whole picture hence losing out it the end eg : falling...

braindead_fr3ak: Spot on. But then it could also be my framing that decides they are falling. Hence, the opinion of those who did not jump, upon those who did jump. Also, jumpers eventually fall 'out of frame'. Some do stay but not all.

By the way, I did not crop the image. I expected the monkey, as with previous monkeys, to land on a higher branch.

bysquashy: Sorry ah Streamyx died at home! You were at the SWPA talk; I believe you should've been given something that is a major clue and precedent to happenings.
