QUOTE(weigie @ Oct 12 2010, 12:04 PM) Can any1 let me know wat is the current sellin price for f58? And where is it? The street price for the F58 is RM11xx and you can get it at Studio Zaloon or from camera shops selling Alpha products in Sg. Wang Plaza or Low Yat plaza. Please do not say that it's expensive as it's the lowest priced top range flash among all the brands. |

QUOTE(blowsh @ Oct 13 2010, 12:01 PM) cjlai: great macro pictures...makes me wanna get either a macro lens or a macro converter... If you can find a piece of exposed film negative, you can wrap that around the pop up flash. It will cut the light but let the IR signal through.d4rkholeang3l: nice model...i kinda like #1 guys/gals, just asking, if wanna do wireless but dun wan the built-in flash to pop up, what should i do or use? i want to take some photos of flowers with flash shooting from the side, but the built-in flash pops up and flash on the flower la...making it to bright from front n side... |

blowsh : It's not like you're gonna wrap it around the flash airtight. I just use a piece of those twister cable to keep it in place. I'm assuming you're not gonna keep firing the flash none stop right? Your F42 will still need some time to recycle after firing so I don't think heat will build up.

QUOTE(wingster @ Oct 14 2010, 09:13 PM) Nowadays DSLR market, video mode not only hook photographers but video + cinematographers as well, take Canon 5D Mk.II as a good example which it has being used by several motion pictures (like Avatar, Iron Man II and so on.) I think that videography using DSLR will still only remain in the realm of amateurs and wannabes. There are dedicated pro video cams out there that is suited a thousand time better to capture video compared to a video DSLR. I do not think that the DSLR is a good platform to take video. It's all just a marketing gimmick.In fact there are only very tiny little numbers of VDSLR users who mainly uses for cinematography more than photography and what Sony wants to do is to protect its high-end model video equipment market compare the others so its DSLR/DSLT model would take less video options but at sooner this method will no longer works as most people would choose more flexible video DSLR in several aspect (because it get videographers attentions for purchase as well) You may see video cams evolving in future and ultimately have large sensors and what not but they will remain video cams. Still cams will remain still cams. The 2 discipline do not mix well. A videographer have to think differently than a photographer in order to get good video footage. Video is about catching motion and presenting them well. Photo is about freezing a moment in time. Quite the polar opposite to me. |

QUOTE(wingster @ Oct 15 2010, 09:09 AM) They already have large sensor video camera but problem is it is really expensive + it is extremely heavy Refer to statements in bold. Video DSLR is not just a gimmeick, a lots of industrial has been using it as a secondary filming production tools because it is lighter than APS-C or 35mm film cameras + it is easy to carry and go. I have listen some talk who actually using Video DSLR for productions and I do a lots of research and it proves that the importance. Canon DSLR had made it successful way and a lots of cinematographers or videographers likely interest on it mainly because of budget and light + portable. I know a lots of people would say still camera just for stills but video DSLR has slowly make it another side towards filming, it might not have many technical features like XLR cables, ND filters and so on. However it has basic requirements that videographers and cinematographer wants + the restriction they understand + acceptable, in addition the price is 10 times cheaper than the RED cameras or a 35mm film cameras. In western country there a lots of video equipment + primes specially made for video DSLR take Zacuto as an example, it just not so popular here Sony NEX VG-10 is a good start but from what I test it but still it classified as "Handycam" with little advance control like FMC(Full Manual Control) and sound monitoring, it is good for documentary I have to say with the zoom lens but its quality and features not so good for serious film maker hopefully their new FF body has these similar features as 5D Mk.II or an evolution NEX VG series camera with better quality and features Like I said - it will remain in the realm of amateurs and wannabes who does not have the budget for a pro video cam - the proper tool for video capture. Of course pro video cams are gonna cost you! It's designed from ground up for video and optimized for video and targeted to the pro video market. DSLRs and DSLTs are essentially still cameras. Designed from the ground up to capture still photos and have a video function thrown in just for bragging rights. It's a bridge at best for the amateurs videographers who have a limited budget to start with. Once they get the money and means, they will buy a proper pro video cam. Where will that leave the video function on DSLRs and DSLTs? Nowhere. It'll be there but it'll not really get improved upon much and will stay a nice to have feature. |

QUOTE(fatnir @ Oct 15 2010, 03:44 PM) ya... i want ask the same question... I don't think that the price will be lower than the current street price even at the fair. They will give a discount on the RRP but the price should stay around normal street prices. Maybe they will offer some freebies...will it sell new dslr like a33 a55?  if cheaper then ill wait for the fair |
