I'm done with 16 lenses though I doubt his cousin having that many tongue.gif After all I'm just a casual shooter. Another 50mm f1.0 should complete my arsenal and hopefully I will rehabilitate.

maybe because they remain the "unique" color at costs of sacrifice for having many noises?

The color of Sony/Minolta were always rich on low ISO but whenever it comes to high ISO ... everything just screw up. sad.gif
*
Unique colors? I doubt that. If it's really that unique, I wouldn't see so many of them faking the saturation and colors here. I'm a Sony, Nikon and Canon DSLR user and I don't see much difference on the color among the 3 brands. Unique colors is just a hype by certain people, just like in Nikon they said it's very vivid, in Sony they said it's so called unique, in Canon they said it's so natural or bla bla.

vikingw2k : Then can I know why are you into Canon particularly?
f1.0, Tilt Shift, 5x Super Macro Close Up, 5-Stop-Image Stabilizer, 10fps Burst Mode, HD Video, 800mm-1200mm Super Telephoto, noise control, used lenses everywhere. I guess this is holding me back whenever I want to jump to others. Anyway once in a blue moon I'll still grab a D300, D700, A700, A200 when there's good deal to test drive and sell back when I'm enough of it. smile.gif

there are some people who are out to belittle Sony Alpha system. So, just be aware...
and I find it hilarious that there are actually sensitive people who think that doing so will gain one something.

But sometimes the comment I felt just too straight away(I know have the rights to speak) .... although you got your point for the criticism but keep having strong comment would since make people unkindly to accept it
In other words I'm too straight forward perhaps? Well, at times I prefer going straight forward rather than faking my comments and thoughts especially when I'm commenting on a picture rather than giving a whole bunch of crappy replies of "ah nice, ah this ah that" just because I know them and not because the picture is really nice.. smile.gif

i can live with a kitlens and without any features if i can obtain the creativity that outweighs any gear.

If you can live with kitlens, your siggy's gearlist wouldn't exist. It's just the matter of time before one upgrade. I've witnessed myself plenty of forumers here telling me stuff like, "hey, I just need a simple camera and kitlens and I won't need anything else". Well, give him a few months and you'll see new stuff popping up in their siggy. Perhaps self-denial is just a common thingy when a certain group of people just started.

QUOTE(Banzai_san @ May 30 2010, 08:18 PM)
I find it histerical that there are people who are pretentious of helping the alpha community yet when find the opportunity try to belittle the system with various "facts" (so called) whilst at the same time claiming non brand biased
*
Learn what's "histerical" before using that word. biggrin.gif Don't want to elaborate much on sensitive people who thinks that belittling is a fun thing to do.

very nice read indeed.

my question:

why can't sony use nikon D3 sensor for their own a900?

my guess is nikon got sign contract with sony stating that its not allowed? hmm.gif

aiyo guys, why are you guys cracking your head on this negligible matter? tongue.gif Whatever sensor Sony or Nikon uses, the important thing is the final outcome.

hahaa...no ma...cause nikon sensors handles noise very well at high ISO...

if only sony could integrate some of the technology into its own sensor.........? hmm.gif
Yea, which is why I don't understand why some people keep mentioning hey, this is using this part this and that afterall who cares all that as the most important is the last outcome and we knows Nikon's noise control pwn Sony's anytime(again I'm being too straight forward but since you guys also agreed). Whether Sony could use the same technology or not, I guess let's reserve it to Sony's CEO to comment rather than us speculating. biggrin.gif

please la.

sony CEO just sit at his table shake leg and wait money(from people like us) enter his pocket. laugh.gif

should be the head of the R & D team in the photography department.
it would save sony a lot of trouble by just using D3 sensor and maybe just change the name....i wonder what's stopping them from doing that.. laugh.gif

LOL, true also. but I guess one word from Sony's CEO could alter everything. Who knows in future they might merge Nikon and Sony's technology? biggrin.gif

Thats good for putting critique but in your comment I find out some "gear-head" minded and too "technically" of picky comparison especially when you keep emphasis the product. You might feel it right when you're truth for compare the general performance but sometimes, too much of performance or handling comparison ends up of flaming with others and making arguments. Well I still respect your words because you're much experiences on camera output and brands and also skills but this is just my personal opinion, no offence.
No worries, none taken. smile.gif Ask yourself, why did you upgrade to DSLR when you could stay with a PnS or even a cameraphone? Simply cause you want better stuff IQ, so why people discuss about lens and performance? Simple, like what I said, people will not stay stagnant and they upgrade as long as pocket could afford.

QUOTE(Kul | Mo0 @ May 30 2010, 09:14 PM)
Impossible Nikon will get swallowed. They're doing so well and not facing any financial difficulties also.
Don't be too realistic(straight forward) la thought it's pretty obvious tongue.gif

Yea, just saw it. Finally it's available after 2 years of waiting. http://www.dpreview.com/news/1002/10020103...1116mmalpha.asp

The f2.8 is simply awesome for indoor events. My only whine on my ex Tokky 11-16mm f2.8 is the range. If only they could make the coverage longer. sad.gif

I used to think like that but end up didn't utilize that lens much due to the short range though the aperture is very tempting. I would suggest you to give it a try first to make sure you really like the range before deciding.. How much is the price of that lens?

You'll love it more on Alpha considering you can utilize the SSS. f2.8 is damn awesome in preserving ambient lighting when you are shooting in low lit area.

QUOTE(wingster @ May 30 2010, 10:19 PM)
But I got 1 problem is .. like the Canon/Sony Carl Zeiss/Minolta 16-35 doesn't the F2.8 wasn't able to capture much sharper detail when comes to landscape shooting? Because most of the landscape photograph will choose higher F-stopping for capturing the detail.
It all depends on what you want to shoot. Landscape doesn't mean that you die die must go low aperture aka big F stop. smile.gif

Another MF? Then I die die also rather go for Siggy 85mm f1.4 rather than paying a premium for a soft MF lens. sweat.gif

need your opinion.

My friend needs a camera bag. His gears are A550, 70400G, 1680Z, SAL16-105 (or 18250... can remember) and HVL-F58AM...

Which camera bag would be suitable? Im thinking of advising him to get a backpack but no sure which one (ie brand & model).

Appreciate your inputs.

Get a Crumpler 7 Million Dollar. Somehow I prefer a slingbag for fast access to the lens and accessories.
