I asked before, seem like they can't do owner transfer.

walao eh...so poison!!

poison?
but the pics were taken with sigma 28F1.8macro

Wow , thats cheap

i mean tht 85mm so poison...

im not sure whats the 2nd market price in MY, but my friend suggest me this shop MapCamera.com Shinjuku.
The shop itself has few used a900 on display, diff price based on condition.
i took the cheapest 85F1.4 at 105k yen, tolerating some scratch on hood and cap. body condition itself is superb.
the marumi dhg-uv filter is of course new unit.

eddy, from what i read, you're using full manual for shots you have not known how to control. using flash does not mean you will freeze ppl's movement. as a quick guide, use 1/30s as a base speed. if nothing to bounce from, there's no harm using direct flash, and if the flash is not in manual mode, it will 98% get a correct exposure with its ADI/TTL. i would only control my flash's power when i'm using M mode and did a quick test shot to see if the exp is correct and then adjust the flash power accordingly.

another option when there's nothing to bounce from, is to use a bounce card. diffusers work too, but if once distance exceeds about 2-3 meters, the light will be too diffused to reach the subject (if using the default ADI mode)

HSS only works if the flash is pointed directly forward or in WL mode. experiment more (when the shots you're taking are not at stake) cheers

wanna ask.. can any1 explain HSS mode a? the flash can lit the subject bright enuf in faster shutter speed?

if HSS is on oni the subject is well lit and leave the background to darkness...if u use faster shutter speed then ur subject will underexposed too..

e-jump : holy crap! Faster come back let us play!

i normally HSS when i intend the flash to be fill-flash, thus daytime. then i can use a high shutter speed to underexpose the background while keeping the subject well lit.

its useful for macro work in WL mode as well, background will fall into darkness and the lighting is pretty dramatic from the off camera angle.

lwliam : Cancelled ma. LOL. Due to low attendance. ):

i forgot who said something about if 3 ppl also jadi ma the TT

Guys, don't mind me asking

Sony alpha 230 vs LX3 .Who wins in Image quality?

when's the TT? where?

btw, i don't feel very well..

lwliam: ic~~ will try it out. oh ya, have u encountered problems with the shutter button of ur a100 b4? the button sometimes cant feel the half press for focusing ad. sometimes la.

neo_lam: so when u say use HSS mode in the ballroom means... i use direct flash to light up my subjects then can use faster shutter to control the harshness of the flash, rite? just like the daytime example lwliam said, rite?

if you dowan use interchangeable lens then LX3 is very good for normal shooting...

ya...but no need use HSS in ballroom unless u want some special looks photos...

kytz, its not really comparable, 1stly, its different in terms of sensor size, ISO-wise, aps-c will most likely take the lead. other than that, i'm not sure about the LX, so no comments there..

eddy, nope, never had that problem.

neo: thx

william: ok, then i shall bear with it. if not mistaken someone said it's 1 of the sign of shutter count reaching the limit. true? XP

I'm quite hell-bent on buying LX3 tomorrow,and i also do understand DSLR's sensor is much bigger than compacts.

But i can't help comparing them because a230 is cheaper than LX3 lol

I just hope i make the right choice as i'm just an amateur
