haha...now think maybe after got my new a700..not used it and terus jual..
funding for a7xx...hehehe

tomolo PMA2010 will start and Sony will have have big announcement...really looking forward for the a7x0...

another mata ikan poison..
C n C welcome.

ForlornBrat: Look first, visualize the picture in your head before taking it. Your er... hanging thing picture is overexposed on top.

Only the Minolta 3600 HS(D) and 5600 HS(D) are fully compatible with the Alphas - the Sony HVL-F36AM and HVL-F56AM are the rebadged versions of those Minolta flashes. Do not bother with older Minolta flashes; they will not work with wireless or fire at full power all the time.

e-jump: It obviously was very dark - get her into a spot with light. Yes the 5-series will serve you well with its better high ISO performance.

Kul | Mo0: Since uh... we don't really see what you shoot these days, we can't tell which you should get.

linkinstreet: F58 on A700 can trigger F42 and F58.

weixuan: Nice #3 (though #2 if framed direct would be better.)

kevinwcw: No, not unless you intend to get a FF later. Have you tried it on your camera? It's big, heavy and not wide on APS-C.

If a lens is hard to focus... honestly, it's user error. You must know how to find a point of contrast to focus on. The center AF point is a lot faster.

Ranceed: Could you pull the shadows on the signboard? It's not very readable.

fas29: I like your shot, because it is not the usual twin-tower shot. Instead it looks like 2 of 3 towers. Just wish you framed it so the right side had a bit more.

freddy manson: I can't make out your shot - use flash bounced behind, for fisheye?

khairi83: Where is the second fisheye shot from?

@albnok

so if i get 1680z is more than enuf?

low yatt plaza.

no flash.. just use the fisheye and play with the WB

the more the better

Ive been using the 1680z... I really love it but at time wished for more reach (ie can zoom more than the 80mm) for example when shooting pigeons (birds) and wildlife animals. Even snapping butterflies (in Butterfly Garden, KL), I wished I could zoom in closer for butterflies at high above leaves/trees.

But for a walkabout lens, I love it. Not heavy. The 16mm is wide enough for me.

The F3.5-4.5 is ok (although a F2.8 would be heaven ). But with A550's clean high ISO jpgs, I find myself not hesistant to up my ISO to 800 and 1600.

Sorry, noobie qn,

Nice. You have a steady hand shooting at slow shutter speed
Do you have to get down on the cement to snap that photo?

@Banzai_san

still thinking go for the best 2470 so i no need to sell my lens in future...funding reach 22% xD

24 70 for A550 is kinda big ..... when I saw the lens was very bulky >.< and over weight than the A550

although the focusing speed, quality and performance was impressive =D so if fit through the future A700 series .... it would be better XD

Sunset at Tg Harapan Port Klang
borrow my bro's a380 + 75300

er.... i think senget ad... try making the horizon horizontal... n wat is the 2 bulat thingee on top? i don know about this...if bright abit bit wud b better??

khairi83: I thought so too, but I didn't realize there was a TV array there... interestingly you've made it look far more spacious!

kevinwcw: Of course! The 16-80mm focuses pretty fast. It is much smaller and lighter, your back/shoulders will thank me later.

Banzai_san: In Photoshop, adjust Levels (Ctrl-L) and pull the middle slider.

In any RAW processor, there is the Shadow Fill or Fill Light slider.

freddy manson: I like how you fisheyed the straw! Creative!

mastering89: Interesting, though you can make it better by Digital GND (Google it).

erm...
need go back there took shot haha
the bulat thingy is the light bulb

here's another one but using 55200
