I have a question, did the f20am on your a850 fire??? I thought a850 can wirelessly trigger f58am even without the f20am (sry I'm noob in this somebody enlighten me) unsure.gif

It is not difficult to get these shots. Don't worry, with enough experience, you will know how to do these kind of shots.

Yes, the F20AM was mounted on the A850 and fired to trigger the two units of F58AM. The Sony's wireless flash triggering system requires a flash (either a built-in flash or a F20AM / F58AM mounted on camera) in order for it to work. It will not work any other ways.

Thanks for the reply, can't other flashes work? not even the newer f42am? sad.gif

Hmm... Is the a33 & a55 identical to dslr? can it still use our existing flashes? Can it wirelessly trigger flash? hmm.gif

Actually I dont know why... My first digital camera is Kodak Camera, the colour is really impress during that time. I have quite a number of friends who have Canon, Nikon and Sony DSLR camera. When bunch of frens show me the photos, I can tell which photo is being taken by Canon and which is not. ( Really, but not every photo lah, I'm not that geng  doh.gif ). Somehow the photo that is taken by Canon shows very unnatural and it looks very bright. Whereas Nikon and Sony did not show those problem mostly. That's the reason i do not choose Canon without even looking at Canon spec.  brows.gif

Even though a lot of people are telling me there are lots of lenses around for Canon compare to other brand. But for me perception, the most important is the natural quality of photo taken, not how many types of lenses can be put in or keep comparing which megapixel is higher LOL. I am just a starter, and I'm not so eager to become professional cameraman. Taking photo is purely my hobby, as long photo is pretty and natural, I'm happy. biggrin.gif

Anyone know when will the A580 release? November or October? How did you all estimate the price? By including lenses as well? I'm quite noob about this.  blush.gif
*
Hmm... Can't answer you on this 1? This also might be caused by "human variable factor" lol! Did all of those photos come straight from the camera? Maybe your friend which was using the canon likes to edit his photos to make the colours too saturated and likes his photos "well exposed"? (It might be well exposed to him but its overexposed to us) Haha! Maybe its also difference in skills, metering problem bla bla bla... Tons of factors! Haha!

Yeah, you can't own every lens there is in a market. A good lens will serve you well if you know how to utilize it, ie. knowing the sweet spot for the lens and knowing the capability of your lens(it will have its limitations but as long as you know it you can find ways to overcome it). (I'm still using my kit lens despite being able to afford better lens) (proly because I'm saving for the successor to a700) and the image quality doesn't dissapoint, there are lots of ppl who take great pics using the kit lens and I'm sure they are willing to share some if you asked tongue.gif

Sry, but I'm not sure on the release date for A580 because I'm resisting poison from A55 icon_question.gif

you need to have high EQ if you wanna buy sony DSLR because you will have a lot of ppl asking you the reason for your purchase.

when you go shop hopping looking for new lens people will ask you why "play" sony.

All your nikon and canon friends will ask you same question.

That's why i poison my whole family to use sony.

1 Malaysia, 1 photography, 1 DSLR.

Haha! My friends who use Dslr are cool with me being a Sony user (except a certain D3 user who keeps poisoning ppl left n right to join him laugh.gif), no brand war between us. Kinda appreciate their company when we're out on a photography outing wub.gif

anyone use phottix battery grip? how is the performance?

I use 1 for my a350. Its good but the paint at the back will fall off after long periods of using it. The shutter button bulges out, different feeling from the one on my alpha. shutter speed dail is a bit stiffer too. But for the price, I can live with it blush.gif

diffusing and bouncing are different ways of flashing, although many ppl use it together at the same time.

main purpose of a diffuser, as its name states, is to diffuse light. as long as your diffuser fits onto your flash head, then any type of diffuser is good, difference is thickness and material of the plastic.

Thanks for your reply, so... which is better? thicker or thinner plastic? And what material of the plastic is better? What about those miniature softbox i saw on ebay which they put on their flash, are those any good? icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif
