guys, came across this phrase "A wider maximum aperture means that less light is needed" in neocamera.com. isn't it suppose to be wider max aperture(smallest f) means more light is needed?

Smaller f number = Bigger the aperture = Allows more light to come in,
Bigger f number = Smaller the aperture = Lesser light able to come in.

okok. i know tat. language command too bad. confused myself.

Some confusions about panning shots, so want ask ask here =)

What are the lenses used and what are the settings? For daylight shooting of fast moving objects, objects such as Formula One cars?

Sifu sifu pls tunjuk ajar, thanks!

You'll need a body that can burst at high fps and use telephoto lenses.

wa 2 days internet down so many new people popping out here.

@d4rkholeang3l

love ur number 5 shots! for ur number 6 shot..the 'ghost' in the background just doesn't quite match with ur subject....and number 4...why la take the pic in front of toilet while the model is so elegant.. the mood like not correct..

Wow.... A55 is only cost RM2799 with kit lens....... With this kind of new technology, I'm so gonna get this DSLR for good.. Forget about A580.... Time to get this in my cart.

But with this kind of price made me wonder..... is this DSLR a beginner or Intermediate DSLR? The price does look like beginner DSLR price...

Interesting thought. Would you had bought the A55 if it was priced at RM4999.00 and consider it as a mid-level / pro-level camera?

Read into Sony's marketing strategy and you may find some answers to your questions. I myself is still thinking about this same question and had not found an acceptable answer yet....

Maybe that new technology does not require mirror which might cost RM1000 in the making that reduce the cost majorly?

telephoto? i dont concur with that...

that's using what lens lwliam?

Hahaha... William, I have almost the same shot as you, but a different car lah....


A850 & SAL2470Z. 1/60s, f14.0, ISO200, AWB, 24mm.

this is not entry level strictly speaking. more of a pro entry level body or enhanced entry level.

the cameras that fall under the so called entry level would be like d3000, canon 1000D and sony's a290 where their function are of most basic.

11-18

SHAM... hahhaha... yea worr...

panning need to use small aperture?

Did a photoshoot yesterday. Had a great time laughing and enjoying photography (like it is supposed to be). One end result shot to share:


A850 & SAL85F14Z. 1/40s, f1.4, ISO800, AWB. Available light shot. Photo involved a fair amount of post-processing.

@eddybeh & ahpingko
the amount of light that reach sensor is same regardless the aperture size provided you shoot at nominal exposure from same metering (if u use A mode, change the aperture still change the shutter speed)

but then, if you have wider aperture, the light gather ability is stronger, and hence the correct term i think should be
"A wider maximum aperture means that less time for exposure is needed"

kysham, u tak betul lorrr... go shooting with they all din ajak... like that la now?
