QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Oct 14 2010, 10:57 PM) Better than none? I think it's a conjob to sell such an expensive adaptor and have AF speed slow enough for user to go out yumcha and come back before it locks on. Better just to manual focus (like shinchan said) using nice lens + cheap conversion ring. Official version di .. Ya having slow AF is still better than none. Maybe next firmware can fix the speed more? And the firmware is official already and available in Sony Malaysia website.

the download link given by weixuan is same as the download link in sony Malaysia. So I guess if you download today then it should be the official 1.

lanusb: I think your friend has to bear in mind what he essentially gives up for a lighter package, which is:
1) No equivalent flash like those on dslr
2) No steady shot unless used with e mount oss lenses

No worries bro...
1. No Flash like SLR : Who needs when the Impressive ISO can handle it... dont even need a flash...
2. Yes no inside steady shots but you will get optical steady instead... works roughly the same... unless you use alpha mount lens... then yes no steady shots...
P/s : WOOHOO!!! Firmware V3 has released!!! now can support shortcut, Appreature for Video and!!!! Alpha lens can AUTO FOCUS!!!!!

ya. nex is a good choice to complement a dslr particularly when coupled with a wide angle lens with obvious reasons. u can do much more with a full dslr systems creatively by using the flash. not advisable to dump ur a550 by goin light unless u know what u will compromise by using juz a nex
