meaning?all-in-one lens is not tat gud?

its only good for its convenience. what u pay is what u get lor. no such good bargain one la.

wa...meaning 18-55 kitlens + 55+200mm come out quality is better than 1 single 18-200mm?..

obviously.

haha. the pictures will definitely be sharper.

unless the 18-200's price range is that of the 28-300L, then for sure the kit lens lose

lol...lucky i got 18-55 and 75-300....not bad lo...

thats why i said based on the photos ma...

i taking law so everything must be based on present facts.

i am doing mechanical engineering and looking for new job related to camera or lens design in my next career. btw, currently im attached to a air cond manufacturer company

Tripod maker? Coz i can't think of anything to do between mechanical engineering and camera except the tripod... Hahahaha

tripod maker..

hmm..bt i cant seem 2 find a good deal on 55200mm in lyn now..
juz missed out on a real good deal cause i took to much time thinking wanna get it anot..

huh? the camera body itself, the structural, the cadcam drawing, the lenses design, the motor mechanism all are mechanical wat

mind them~ its call mechatronics~

Did anyone see axn's sony lifestyle magazine ad? I think the guy just played with a55

i guess the "AF" button might be a joystick/trackpoint to provide the Quick AF selection function
it looks a bit protruding, provided that is the real pic anyway

the pics of a33 and a55 are out at sonyalpharumors... a33 seems to be quite small...

if too smal; how to hold.. even A390 also kinda boring..
for youngsters eh..

The difference in actual image quality between the kitlenses and the 18-200mm will be small. You will not be able to tell the difference unless you pixel peep but there are some differences that you might want to consider such as:

1. The kitlenses will offer you brighter apertures especially in the telephoto ranges.
2. The 18-200mm will probably focus slower than the kitlenses due to the large focal range that it provides.
3. The 18-200mm is based on an old design that is more optimized towards film.
4. The kitlenses will have newer coatings that will perform better in CA control.

There is a reason why the 18-200mm is priced at less than RM1k. If you want a newer design, try the Tamron 18-250mm which is overall better than the 18-200mm but the above point no. 1 & 2 still applies. The Sony 18-250mm is based on the Tamron design but Sony changed the gearings so the Sony lens will focus a bit faster than the Tamron.

slower focusing??.....my 75-300 also quite slow in focusing...lol

ahpingko : Your 75-300mm is also an older design. The newer 55-200mm will focus faster compared to the 75-300mm and the 18-200mm and 18-250mm unless someone who has used all these lenses can tell me otherwise.

yalo..older..but so cheap...still ok la....for still subject under sufficient light, image quality quite good 1...but if wan shoot moving object like birds flying...then abit hard...coz slow focus...and minimum focus distance quite far...1.5m..>.<...i wish it is shorter....like 20cm....then can have nice macro shooting...
