QUOTE(ahpingko @ Jul 29 2010, 11:07 PM) DO you really want to carry flash or using flash often (strobbist)? ->F42AM or DO you want to shooting macro(not mind on close working field) with the same time portrait combo? ->50mm Macro or DO you want to shoot something macro in wider range(also not mind on very-close working field)? ->30mm Macro This post has been edited by wingster: Jul 29 2010, 11:13 PM

do you all think that the price for NEX will be affected by the new sony DSLR coming out soon? I understand that they are from different class, but would like to hear some opinions.
Thanks!

Thanks! probably not, but even if it did, it wont drop too low.. coz RRP nex now is rm1999 (sony) and 16xx street price.. if it drops , it will only drop by a bit...

A550 will face the same fate as well when the new A5xx and Pellix camera on market next month (luckily last time I brought it at China with ridiculous price xD) This post has been edited by wingster: Jul 29 2010, 11:41 PM

weird mindset actually.. are you really plan sell it before you buy?? of course you might say, upgrade, need funding..
but for me, i think if money allow, i will go for the best available.. or else buy d until really could afford another new one, without selling the old.. (at least as backup)
