the 1st picture was awesome and also the bokeh!!! what lens u used?

Velbon has a good quality feedback but I'm not so understanding about the overall performance so I can't judge so much also depends which model you pick up otherwise go get a Manfotto 190XPROB or Carbon Fibre 190CXPRO3 with ballhead xP

Go for WeiFang because it have a tougher built (If you go for budget :3)

However if u can have more budget, I suggest go for Velbon or Manfotto because it was much more durable and tougher to hold your camera + 70 200 lens ;3

why u dun own a plato :/ ?

but do however for the older version of wireless remote which is the Cleto II(forgot the proper name xD) u get battery free on wired shutter remote while for Plato u get easy battery replacement by changing 4 AAA battery, likewise it has very far far remote range than what I expected O.O

If u not planning for wireless, u can get a wired Phottix Remote shutter at around RM20~30

If u plan for wireless, I suggest Phottix Plato which cost around RM100~110

Haha but I prefer Plato .. 2.4Ghz Wireless with easy AAA battery replacement :3

Depends...

If u use OVF often it actually can last for 1000++ (I one times remember 1 day fire 1500 shots still remain 45% from 100% full battery charge) of shots

If u use Live View may shorten it by 600~800++ of shots

eventually A500/A550 has superior battery lasting compare to A3xx series ...

yeah I have read through before

the design is like making a Medium Format alike of DSLR

Can know that was the same model as the Lumix LX-3

It's fake ... haha but if it becomes real then Sony is Double Pawned!!

Compare the two based on certain review and ieR ...

In terms of IQ and Sharpness: Both Are Similar, Sharp

In terms of Color: 1680 CZ is better

In terms of Focal Length: Of course 1680 CZ pawns

In terms of built: Both are also similar but Tamron 1750 just slightly durable

In F-Stop: Tamron 1750 takes the advantages

nupe bro ... is seriously heavy compare to the CX

then just get used with the heavy weight ... or perhaps as what ieR suggested ... go for Benro

Sushi + Macro Lens Poison @__@

No wait for the ultimate A7xx successor :3 !!

there is a confirmation but detail still not clear yet however they do uses a newer sensor with AVCHD video recording ability which the IQ quality and noise quality massive improve from the previous model

about release date still an unknown although many people believe it might release around this year ...

Guys wanna ask for something about full-frame

As tomorrow got an event shooting at KLCC and my aunt supplied their Full-Frame camera for me to photo shooting the model.

For full-frame, I did listen by the users, it has the serious changes on the DOF and F-Stop and I'm not so understand about it that ... does this means that Full Frame will suffer more shallow effect on the brighter F-Stop compare to crop frame and is that really serious? Because never fully experience on using Full Frame for photo shooting on event so need some guide when shooting portrait using Full Frame camera.
Thanks :3

cool ... 50mm F1.4 ?

cool looks like the kitty still able to do some stunning effects >.<

Today I had just use 5D Mark 2 for event shooting and yes the ISO performance is truly IMBA however I dislike to holding a big 24-70 zooms and even the giant 70-200 white shark when shooting fashion show

Felt like everything just heavy and not so comfortable on using FF system xD as well get many not-so good picture today

So I still felt like stick back to a lighter crop frame camera(stick back Sony as well xP) even through the IQ wasn't so good as Full Frame
