how bout a550+battgrip+f58+70-400...

i've tried that combo b4...ho demm...!

heaviest for me is 70200 (forgot which brand) or sony 70300G + a700 + batt grip + f58.. Hand can tahan 20 mins shoot only, after that need to shoot, hang on neck, shoot, hang..

anyone hold 300G b4?

^william, last time I borow frend's 70200 + VG + body.. Somemore use the hnd strap

....


Takes me only +/- 5 minutes before I surender n gave up the hand strap
Ur 20min is okay la hahaha skinny guy like me kenot than, esp using the hand strap
Wah crazy fren la he use the hand strap even using all those + f42 summore

for a starter buying first flash, f20am, is it worth buying?

nope. that flash is intended for a850 and a900 users in which these cameras can use f20 to trigger off-camera flashes.

sifu, am i correct?

i would rather buy prime lens 1st , sony/minolta 50mm recommended rm400-500

Hako, mike. The f20 can bounce.. So its not entirely for commander mode in FF models

For starter I think its quite good if u're shooting portraits n macro-like shots..
Limited power/function makes it hard to use in more wide photography area

hi all,
apart from Picasa, what are the other useful and free photo edit software that is available?
thanks.

I see. i see.

yeap. planning to get one.
just recently got extra money, so wanna get raynox/50mm/ and maybe a cheap flash.
i dont really do wide photography. more of still life stuffs.

flickr online edit software?

but i would recommend starters to get cheap manual flashes... around rm100-200+

unless of course money is not an issue, then f20 is good.

f20am is cheap. it's around 300-400++.

but i saw Rm199 flash in garage sales but not for sony mount.

f42. Still it depends on your usage. I've read reviews at alphanatics some regrets buying it. I once contemplate to get it but after reading reviews it really makes me hunger for f42. I suggest you read reviews then try it yourself to see which one is more suitable for you. Getting a lens is ok but getting a flash is totally new experience for us nubs.

^hako: well I think its good but it WAY TOOO limited
For the same price u can get Cybertik 45mz (forgot the name liao)

With flash in hands (err I mean in camera) its a new world.. Good luck!

i not using this.. but it's looks cool..

an used f42 is like double the price of f20.

Yes. But you'll satisfied it rather later the hassle to sell it back once you realize that the you couldn't get more out of your f20.

couldnt agree more. a little more extra can be worth every penny.

but also, how much do u really need a flash?

i hear got ppl interested in f42??? wts wts

Photoscape is a good freeware
