i think if u had another flash from behind the subject, it can reduce blending with the background, no?

i dun have tokina UWA..so this is the best i could do...took 3 pics and stitch them together..

Ipoh Town

technically..any camera can last you for more than 5 years if you took good care of it..

as long as it still takes pictures..

zstan: Secret!

ahpingko: I feel like if the vignetting was not there #1 and #2 would obviously have so-so framing. Would prefer #4 from straight on.

Happy birthday!

porkchop: Happy birthday!

wingster: The A33 does 7 FPS (Speed Priority), 6 FPS (Continuous High) and 2.5 FPS (Continuous Low); the A55V does 10 FPS (Speed Priority), 6 FPS (Continuous High) and 3 FPS (Continuous Low). Refer to page 116 of the A33/A55V manual.

I don't think people care for the Continuous High or Continuous Low options enough to write about them.

Also... do you think the A560/A580 will not have the overheating with SteadyShot in video? A lot of the cons in the A33/A55 apply to the A560/A580 also... people just forget to imply them.

deanmalenko: Okay lah can be cleaner, a slightly faster shutter speed would help.

evilhomura89: You might not care for most of the things he puts in his cons - I know I don't!

You don't even see the problems he does. Carl Gerrard is a very old school photographer. Some people fuss about 2 Second MLU while we don't care. There is no mirror slap on the A33/A55 so MLU does not matter.

Restrictions are what you get when you first play with the A550 and NEX bodies - you cannot use Auto HDR with RAW for example.

Spot Meter AEL Toggle was a function you could activate in the A100/A700/A850/A900. Press AEL while pointing your spot meter circle, and it will change to Spot Metering, on what you were pointed at, and then you can recompose.

wow very nice picture. From Ipoh but from that point really duno where you shoot...

It's depending your shooting requirements, are you really serious about photography and take picture very often all the time?

Do you really need a Pro Body or your requirements is enough for casual shooting using drive mode and PASM mode dial with several manual adjustment like all the entry level DSLR/EVIL camera does?

For 5 Years there might a lot of changes is really up to your requirements and opinions ...

Added on September 20, 2010, 7:16 pmI don't mention anything about A560/A580 as I did not actually test it and I didn't even say they will not have overheating issues on the camera as well when SSS is On argh >.<

Well A560/A580 is still a mystery for me as no reviewer used to test them in detail so I have no idea about this.... but yeah it might be the same problem that happens on A33/A55 .... or maybe not?

lucky carl gerrard did not write "no MLU" in cons... then i really have to slap my face...

kena pandai tahan poison laaaa

the a560/580 got the AEL toggle button rite??
is it possible can use in video mode to lock on exposure or its auto all the way?? in a33/a55 can lock exposure in video recording??

y u guys can take so good butterfly pics one?

i go near one then all fly away d.

no lah lucky shot that one.
i was sitting there for quite a while only to notice it was there. if only i had sp90 at that moment

Thats why you need to be stealthy ...

need more tips from macro shooters

anyways here something nice to read about lens's sharpness (link)
sorry if old repost, but just found that www.mir.com.my has many2 nice articles to read

Yo guys. Anyone looking for a suprbly mint condition Minolta 28mm please look at my sales thread alright? (:

zstan : Nice landscape photo wei!

thanks guy for the bday wish...anyway ahpinko, just for your info i think i bought my a550 photix grip around rm130 during cny 2010, bought from Desmond of YL photo, duno he still got stock and promo for the photix...but no free battery..

wann ask u guys about uwa, I saw tokina is the only f2.8 uwa around...any advantages apart from low light shooting for uwa?? dun say bokeh ah...i think there isn't much bokeh from uwa due to dof

albnok, or any other bros, wanna ask who tested the gps version of the sony dslr?? i suppose its like any gps device, where indoor the gps does not really work?? also, when startup the camera, need to wait for gps to connect/detect before being able to use the camera??

Define Pro Body? a700, a850, a900 = pro bodies?
I guess once I get a DSLR, I'm intending to be serious about it.

i think it's gonna be the same like the typical GPS device..indoor no signal
if not gps signal is not detected or too weak, probably the image taken won't have GPS tagging in it?

thanks for the comment,1st time doing it,will try again after this

can i ask how to make macro shot?do i need special lens?

Pro Bodies in my mind is made with good quality like Magnesium Alloy + A lots of customization like more ISO range options, dual dial, buttons and more AF point ...

Current Pro Body in Alpha range are only A700/A850/A900

ztan: you need to put honey hehe! then all butterfly wont fly away

wa..why selling again?

thanks thanks

are you serious?
