I think these 2 model should be around RM2~3k when come to Malaysia

A55

-Compact and very feature pack
-Fast AF on Movie Mode
-6FPS (In default mode) and 10FPS Advance Continuous Mode (Exposure is automatic. Setting focus set to 'single' mode gains you the ability to shift the aperture/shutter speed settings and adjust ISO but you lose the ability to refocus between shots, making the mode less useful for many applications.)
-3FPS Live View
-270 Degree Screen panning
-Bright and FF size of Electronic Viewfinder
-Low battery life due to its compact size (around 380 shots)
-According to review, it has better dust-resistance
-Single card slot input (for SD Card or memory stick)

A580

-Great ergonomics to hold
-Decent AF speed on Movie Mode
-5FPS and 7FPS Speed Priority (Aperture/Shutter Speed and Focus totally lock)
-3FPS Live View OR 7FPS on Speed Priority mode
-180 Degree Screen panning (top or bottom)
-Good battery life (Around 700~800 shots)
-Battery grip available
-OVF
-Dual memory slots for Memory Stick and SD Cards

ieR: There will be no room for a mirror in the E-mount, so they might have to do phase detect on main sensor (like on a Sony patent.) The Fujifilm F300EXR already did it.

The 10 FPS really is just for bragging rights and poisoning sessions.

signither: Yesterday night I saw the moon ridin' low and I regretted only having the pancake with me!

razorboy: The A55 is the future with fast AF in video; the A580 has an optical viewfinder if you're old school like that.

Killabee88: Nice juxtapose! Probably would prefer more light on the blade.

now i understand why people keep saying tammy got back focus issue d.

a few of my pics kena, especially those when i use my corner AF points.

albnok:thanks. but i still not satisfy with this pic.need alot of improvement and adjustment for the compo, framing n lighting.

you can get a new one for about 750

lucky my one has minor .... but sometimes will kena = = so keep stick with my prime now xD

aiya forgetting E mount has no room... paiseh hahahaha

yea, poisons, there is few time i show people the A550 7fps... few of them went and buy one the next day LOL...

hence i calibrate the my A300 AF myself... to compensate the tammy... but my 50 F1.4 has same issue too, not sure why or how... but after calibrate, it's just how i liked it... slightly more Front focus (where ear are easily blurred.)

dare not to calibrate my A550 yet... it has same issue even with 50F1.4... dunno why...(hate it when shoot close up portrait, the ear is sharper then the nose... lol)

the tammy focus speed also a bit tad slow.

since when u get a550?? tak report pun

Nt yet. No time. Maybe later la.

oh man. thanks for pointing that out. i bring 200mm f2.8 to skodeng from far far if that's the case. damn misleading ad.

anyone in here wanna let go their dinosaurs? A300 preferred

d4rkholeang3l : How about the 2nd oldest dinosaur in the Alpha world - a700? XD

haha, terlalu mahal tu..unless i can sell my a230

macam ku kenal saja photographer ni... hurmmm...

Anyway, recently I got a SLR (film) which was Maxxum 7000. A beauty.
Getting curious of what happen if attach a DT lens on it, hence I put on 18-55 SAM on it and the aperture and shutter speed goes nuts! Jumping down and up!

Heavy vignette at wide angle (forgot the focal length) the disappear after some zooming...

But the AF just won't work. Any idea why?

OMG can someone tell me where got sell this I'm a photographer not a terorrist tee ??
I want it so badly. ><

back from the Warehouse sale..
nothing much.. i didnt bother about the other stuff.. just DSLR...

a850 going for rm5499 (free bad + 4gb)
a500 + 1855 (4gb + bag) = RM2199

and the most scary one...

a700 (BODY ONLY)
rm2399 -->its not in the brochure, but its on display, so im not sure if my price is correct or not.. but DEFINITELY around RM2k++ only.. super cheap.. i was like. woah... if sell second hand... then zzz la.
