hello, just wanna ask sony entry's lvl dslr like a330 or a380. is it worth buying for a beginner? compare to other brands like nikon (d3000) or canon ...

just need some opinion, because i really like the brand sony ... so pls list me some pros and cons.

hows the smell? last time went back to my Chinese grandmother the incense smell is quite strong.

booby :
Pros :
- A-mount ( which means you can use the almighty Zeiss lenses )
- Vivid colours
- Slightly cheaper accessories ( eg. flash )
- Small built ( self preference )

Cons :
- Poor high ISO performance ( against Nikon and Canon )
- Small built ( self preference )
- No battery grip[ available
- using a smaller capacity battery

That's for me la.

Wonka: What is your style?

As for what to upgrade next, read this article titled "Acquisition":

http://kenrockwell.com/tech/acquisition.htm

booby: You might like the A500 or A550 better as it has a more substantial grip. Guys would generally prefer it. Price is pretty close to the A330/A380 too.

signither: Fortunately, you have not been bitten by the Zeiss bug.

albnok : I love to read kenrockwell's site. But he's just too Nikon of a person. XD

fansoption: Patience and experience. Most macro shooters use manual focus.

Wonka: Then, you don't need to upgrade anything. You already have the focal lengths covered. The most you can add is a tripod or a Cokin Graduated ND filter set... but if you are there at the right time, you don't need filters.

Kul | Mo0: Brand aside, or the funny irony that he rarely ever acknowledges Sony, I do agree with quite a bit of his philosophies.

LOL. Some one selling 35mm f1.4G at FTZ. RM3300.

i have my own shield/repellent for those bugs

but somehow the 1635Z one has slowly developed some kind of immunity to my repellent

Somehow I imagine you have insect spray with a custom sticker. Show us!
