well, that IF u keep reviewing, zooming to check the photo, yea, it consume more power then u actually uses the shutter. or keep waiting to scene to shoot, having the LCD run whole time without snapping... i would ratio it up to 5 hours continuous ON with little this and that

Mikeshashimi: Send it to the shop where you bought it, who will send it to Futuromic. I have no idea how much this will cost.

kuro0314: Buy another battery, and get into the 'rhythm' of the battery - I went for the A33/A55 product launch with heavy usage from 1pm and ended up with 34% at 8pm. Soon you'll be able to budget your battery power wisely.

If can afford it, always go original.... safer.

ya original....i know CZ24F2 is calling you

yaaa, not very for only la, sell me your 85Z for 2k, then u can get the 24Z d..

Wa i saw this in your wishlist, ier.
Hasselblad H4D-60 [|||-------] 30%
100%= RM150,000
30%= RM45,000
Sky high price~~ hahaha...

don't forget his fund is to buy house..

150k i buy many2 NEX, then arrange them to make matrix movie punya effect. haha.

sync up the NEXes together and do 7000 fps... each one to fire in 1/1000th of a second apart from each other...

the hasselblad really that expensive ar?

zstan, Actually the lowest ISO the A850 can go down to is ISO100..... why I used ISO200 then? Read on.....

lwliam, the reason why I used ISO200 and not ISO100 is because ISO100 is the expanded range (means is it not a native ISO) of the A850. It is essentially a digitally interpolated value. The base ISO for the A850 is ISO200, where it gives the best dynamic range and most natural color. You try to shoot at ISO200 and ISO6400, and you will notice a shift in color tone.
add-on: iso100 was actually shoot with native iso200, then stop down 1 stop using the raw processing.
ieR, thanks for your comments. i noticed that problem the first time i opened this photo up for PP work.    was cursing myself about it. unfortunately, the pattern on her thigh was just so random and uneven that it looks like as if she was wearing stockings or something like that. so that is the reason why i left it as it is. It would be a nightmare (for me) to PP that out, and her thighs will look unnaturally smooth. It will also be difficult (correction: impossible) to get back that skin tone if I PP her thighs. it was a lighting & posing mistake, honestly. 

Firmware upgrade for NEX will deliver AF for SAM & SSM lenses!
