QUOTE(nabelon @ Mar 5 2010, 03:39 PM) I travel frequently on the job and I wouldn't want to miss out the opportunity of bringing home some memorable shots, but using my a300 + cobra saddled together really piss me off in terms of mobility. but of course i love the picture quality. Would it be wise for me to look for smaller body ? or should i sell of everything and move on to micro four thirds ? eg pen ? I seldom use my flash. I have to say that A550 (and her variants) have great capability shooting under low light.

Thank you QUOTE(ieR @ Mar 5 2010, 02:33 PM) -------- 8< --- snip --- 8< ---------------- so, say, A2/3 series, they dont have F2.8 sensor (special sensor), and older sensor, it might not performce at best at lowlight. A550 has the newer AFsensor but not F2.8, but many review quote it's as good as F2.8 at lowlight. i have not tested it, so i have no comment. -------- 8< --- snip --- 8< ---------------- Some extra info on A550 focus sensors I read very recently. Thought I'd share with you guys/gals "The A500 and the A550 are equipped with sophisticated TTL phase detection autofocus (AF) system to assure quick, accurate focusing in almost all picture-taking situations. It utilize 9 focusing detection points including a cross-hatched center point. The location and angle of each focus detection point -- called Focus Area by Sony -- is denoted on the viewfinder screen. The central point is the most sensitive because it reads both vertical and horizontal patterns." pg 112 - The focusing system. "Magic Lantern Guides - SONY A500 A550" by Peter K Burian. Im still reading and learning the basics from books, manuals and reading others postings  ... noobie me btw, the blue phase sounds something similar to A700 2.8 sensor? but A700 is trigger when using 2.8 lenses ... if Im understand it correctly ...

It does look like they are dancing simultaneously but the background is busy. OK... noted. Longer tele/zoom would be nice and I guess blurfing the background more would be good... The shot was taken from across the field and had to crop to about maybe about 20 or 30% of the original size. Longer tele/zoom need to be in my wish list Thanks for the comment albnok |

I guess you know that shooting from low height like that will make the subject taller/longer (rather than shooting from top looking downwards will give the opposite) I think you shot it that way (low height and at an angle) becaus you want to partly cover the sun, no?
