marketing tactics lor...

two cameras exactly the same, just megapixels different. but rm500 difference. for those who are not in the megapixel craze, 101% they will buy the cheaper one right?

so why give the consumers a choice to choose from if we can just sell the more expensive model.

if one got video, one don't have, then different story la.

a380/a330/a390...i don't see the point of these cameras being released IMO..

no seriously, besides design wise, what difference do you see in a350 and a330 and a390?

guys..how u all capture sun flare??..or light glare...make it look like star..

Planning to get the NEX3, anyone knows where's the best place to get it at the cheapest price?

You have to understand how the market is. To us the consumers, we know very little about what goes on behind the scene. The sales people will try to sell the brand which will give them the highest commission. It may be that C and N offer higher commission for camera sold so these people push the brands harder lor. It's not really professional conduct as sales persons are supposed to sell to the customer's needs and not sell product with highest commission.

Reviews in magazines and even some websites are also sometimes biased because they need the revenue from advertising. Imagine you have a website that deals with photography gears. C or N advertises heavily on your website thus giving you revenue. Will you post reviews that is not so positive on the cams that C or N produce and heap praises on non-advertising brands like Pentax or Samsung? Are you not afraid that C and N will pull their advertisement and go to other sites and you will lose the revenue? It's just business and money is the bottom line. Sad but true.

if u dun really care about quality, got many CPL and ND filter sold by some other brands which are less than RM100 

what you mean normal?8-9am sunlight? 11-1pm sunlight?

you need to know why are you buying an ND for. If you wanna take a pic which is overall exposed, buy the ND which is only half dark, or maybe -4 stops should be sufficient.
got banyak cheap filters la..KEEP....and some other brands i'm not familiar with.
if those review will wanna pick out faults, they WILL find faults.

most stupid cons of the a33 i still can remember, no fancy filters or what ever the heck la. 

Anyone using Octopus (3rd party) Battery before ? is it good ?

where you plan to shoot? ND2 or ND4 should do the job fine...but most important thing u need have tripod if you taking the long exposures lor..
