don think it'd burn down anything..unless u have really really tall building there...coz when its bloated..it rises very quickly..less than 10sec its already higher than 2-3 floor building..when it drops the fire goes off already..how to burn houses...but again.thats provided u know what u r doing..if u wanna play it in the jungle where trees r everwhere..well i guess its not the lantern fault..lol..

@kevinwcw
any specific adjustment u did on the photo?other than contrast/exposure..

i'd prefer if u could eliminate the hand with a jar of wadever-inside from the background..

there were 2 brand new A700s in Digital Mall, PJ last week if Im not mistaken.

hi....

just want to share info.

(SR4) Sony A700 successor at PMA!
You asked it and Sony answered you! On Sunday (yeah PMA starts this Sunday!) Sony is going to announce the A700 successor. The A700 successor is a camera you can’t compare with other Alpha cameras! It is the first Sony Alpha camera which records video! And not that crappy video you have seen in other cameras. I was told that the A700 successor will outperform every other Canon-Nikon camera (like the recently announced Canon 550D/T2i.

cant wait!!!!!!!!!1

if u plan to get FF on ur next upgrade(which is pretty soon) it shd be fine.....if not i find the range kinda bad in apsc..not wide yet not long..

kevinwcw, so do i smell of an upgrade coming up? 

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).

kevin, motor yes, but the gearing ratio of the focusing elements in the lens differ from lens to lens. Taking a macro lens as an extreme example, focusing from MFD to inf. is very very slow

i hope it doesnt dissapoint me after all this long waiting~ 

dual bodies~

Hey guys...I'm really new and am planning to get the Sal 1680z lens. Just like to know how much did you bought it for, and where? Don't wanna get con. =S
