I have tested a33 at BTS today and found out the IQ is not that sharp (picture viewed via LCD). My best guess is my photography skill s*ck.

Note - Picture taken under "Auto" mode.

mowkey, so you are saying the IQ is sharp? I wonder what went wrong when i tried it out.

Personally, I like the EVF. Nice.

shootkk - now you are adding more confusion to the already confused people like me.. haha

shootkk - Understand you rmeaning but i am into taking still photo more than video (at least for now). I still need to do a lot of reading and get myself DSLR. For now, a55 is my choice.

zstan - my budget is around ~3k only. a900 is totally out of budget

my friend is asking me to get Nikon so we can share accessories. Guess my dilemma will fade away after i have gotten myself one DSLR. Now still can play around with choices.

Seem so long to wait for a55 to be in store

truth_seeker, how much you got it for? I am waiting for a55 too.. this thread is really moving too fast..even other thread also not as fast as this.

err, mind me asking who is Uncle Chin?

lwliam - Don't welcome yet. Havent got myself 1.

does my 2mpx sony cybershot compact camera count? LOL...

Okay. Guess I will head over to Uncle Chin there to get one.

a55 kit lens + 55-200mm combo good?

I prefer to take close up picture of insects, aquarium, fishes..basically animal picture

backup? want to get a primary camera also no money :S

Initially i am quite surprise when i see Sony thread is moving faster than Nikon or Canon thread. Before I browse through this thread, always thought either the 2 brands are dominating the market.

2170 from sony centre?

Just got mine today. Easy to remember purchase date 10.10.10

big damage to my pocket..a55 + 16-105mm lens.

Now my arms hurt..~1kg camera

prox: wah!! a55 + 16-105... epic haul! Welcome to the Alpha geng.

I will be getting 50mm macro lens..hopefully soon enough. I prefer to take close-up picture.

16-105mm will be my day to day normal usage lens. Excellent built.

will post up picture soon. I am still learning..newbie in SLR/SLT..

I would say it is balance but the whole thing is kinda heavy since 16-105mm lens is metal barrel. 470gm. Body 440gm.

Hope I can keep poison away for a while before damaging my pocket further.

from Uncle Chin, Studio Zaloon. If i am not mistaken, no more stock. Luckily i called him to reserve 1 today otherwise i will go home empty handed.

all in..close to 4k

Evilhomura- that lens cost ~1.6k if purchase with camera. Price tag on the box is 1999.

ahpingko - very sharp image you got there..using 50mm lens?

A55 + Tamrom SP90 macro = good combo?
