i donno how much it cost if send to repair..sob..hiah

Most likely it's the gear stripped on the kit lens.
Send in for service if it's still under warranty.
Else, I would suggest you to get a used one or upgrade. The price of service is not worth spending.
Hope you still have warranty.

like that?
if got warranty, send it in. if not, hunt for cheaper 2nd hand

Gouki: The CMOS has a rolling 'scan' (to avoid confusion with shutter). However SLRs have a mechanical focal plane shutter so that takes care of the rolling effect.

cjlai: Congratulations!

mastering89: The 24-105mm is a classic full-frame lens, the smallest in its class. However it isn't so good at the corners wide open on full-frame, which is ironic since it's a full-frame lens. On APS-C the lens is good!

There is no Minolta 35-50mm F4. A Minolta 24-50mm F4 is worth it, though!

gizmo_pony: Bridge cameras and some superzooms do show focal length. Canon, until today, never shows their focal length when you're looking at picture information! This makes it a problem if you've set your camera on a tripod and shot for a specific framing, then you can't refer to the focal length in the previous picture to set the zoom ring to the same composition.

kev da man: Contrast AF point? There is no contrast detect AF on the A550. It is phase detect AF just like all the Alphas. If you're complaining that the picture appears to have a shallower DOF than what you see in the viewfinder, it is because the viewfinder limits the apparent DOF to F3.2 or thereabouts. This is the same for all film or digital SLRs of all brands, which have AF.

The A700, A850 and A900 have changeable viewfinder screens (the A700 viewfinder needs to be changed at a service center but the A850/A900 is user-changeable.) The default screen is the Type G which is bright and shows DOF until F3.2 - any brighter and it will still look like F3.2.

The Type M screen is like a classic ground glass - it shows DOF accurately to F1.4! However, if you put a F4.0 lens on it, it will appear to be darker, like a manual focus camera would.

Kul | Mo0: Congratulations?

colbert89: Take off the Sony 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 DT lens and turn on the camera. If there is no loud, whirring sound, that means your kit lens has gotten "gear stripping". Send it for warranty.

There is no motor in the 18-70mm; it is screw-driven. The 18-55mm is not prone to gear stripping.

lwliam: Seems a bit of a grab shot. Guess I'd prefer a portrait shot.
