ianho: It exceeds 10 pictures so it spans 2 posts - and my Streamyx died just when I was about to post #2!

alex_cyw1985: Well done, good subject!

zstan: No hints yet. To prevent it from resetting after 9999, stop taking pictures.

mastering89: I'll have a TT the moment I buy one so you all can try it!

ahpingko: Turn off DRO to reduce noise.

lwliam : The 50mm lost out to Sigma's 50mm lo. But I doubt the Zeiss 85mm f1.4 will lose out lo. Go for the Zeiss 85mm!

back from NEX Party, all I can said the NEX it was impressive than what I expected in terms of performance and compactness.

To compare with GF1, NEX were just 50% lighter and 30~40% slimmer than the GF1 in terms of body sizes and weight just the kit lens add up some weight to make it heavy but with pancake, this camera almost seems pocketable.

Noise performance as expected, good high ISO range but average low ISO range as A450/500/550

Video is lovely! Although not much thing able to custom but at least they provide usable AF focus and MF Focus which is very impressive!!

Video format in Full HD is good hence it was 50/60 frames which was x2 much smoother than the Canon 20~30 frames, quality wise against the 500D and 550D it's better than that but still not able to match the Canon 5D Mark2 full HD quality.
Likewise, I wasn't get sure but 1080p and 1080i has different performance format so I cant judge so much on it

Only bad point was too minimalistic until certain function you might feel frustration for quick accessing especially metering zone. Although I understands the squeeze sizes body might not able to fit so much button but compare with others compact like Lumix LX3, the access is somehow too much. If it add a 2 extra important button then I will really says that it will improve the user ability.

Lens unlike those previous kit lens, it was silent and smooth

Control pad is sweet hence I love the Canon scrolling, NEX also includes it and provide up/down/left/right key together on the scroll pad.

Overall it NEX is the only one which can fit in your pocket (when pancake is mounted) with truth "APS-C" sized

Bro you need to know that 1080i and 1080p was different ... I somehow heard that 2 frame of 1080i = 1 frame of 1080p but after some research I get this

"The reason broadcasters use 1080i instead of 1080p for transmission is the same as the reason to use interlaced scan instead of Progressive scan, bandwidth is used more efficiently. That means more channels and/or better video and sound for you!

1080i frames (a frame lasts for 1/60th of a sec.) have 1920x1080 lines of detail (each 1/30th field has 540 lines of detail and each field contains different lines) and so does a 1080p signal! The only difference is that a 1080i frame shows half the detail of a 1080p frame during any part of a frame. Since that is true if the original source was 1080p then that original presentation of 1080p@24fps can be reconstructed by a 1080p set, receiving a 1080i@30fps signal, with good video processing. This process is normally called De-Interlacing. "

Likewise extra frames means extra motion for video editors to capture and reedit it the format.

Well I get his point right now just curious Ianho, are you profession on video making?

Because of the complicated process + only monitor or ps3 or x-box that has 120hz (60 frames) may able to read it the potential of 60 frame

hence means that 1080i/60 only put it's potential on Sony 120hz Television, although I'm also learning video editing but now I get understand the standard 24 frames features

CPL don't cost 100 over (unless u buy at shop/branded)
usually 55mm around rm50~60 (cap ayam)

ianho: I've never had a battery grip. I was already killing my back with a heavy laptop bag from work! I was going light with the Minolta 24-105mm F3.5-4.5(D) and F58 (and a Samyang 85mm F1.4 inside.)

nimrod323: Exactly - though Sony does use other brands as well e.g. Panasonic for the flashes and I can't remember who makes their LED TVs.

cjlai, thanks for the lens pr0n! Didn't notice the lens hood on the 18-200mm.

uncle ianho, what i mean is the cheap one don't cost over 100..
thats why i said if u buy in shop (they chop your head), or when you get a branded cpl..
for a hobbyist or just an entry-level person like me, i see no much difference in investing a normal cpl over a branded cpl
#provided they give the same function to reduce reflection&deflection (in amateur/hobbyist level again)
and i know every cents mean quality as well.

the design looks quite nice as well. 

d4rkholeang3l: hehe, just play with photoshop action . i'm no good at photoshop . try go to deviantart and search for vintage, lomo, cross process, 
hey all of you think is it safe to go jalan alone at KL go shoot things?
today i saw a mat saleh alone with 2 dslr mount his 70200 (white lens) and another which i think wide or maybe 2470L . He can selamba go jalan alone take photo. for me even go to taman near my house alone bringin P&S camera or even my phone also scared alredy
