is there a name for this kind of shots?
mayb i'll look up on guides on how to do it

well, i know how to get the pictures via camera, it's the stacking/stitching process that i'm not sure of...

ya, managed to find something using "stacking" as the main keyword
i guess it's something like - http://www.digitalurban.org/2010/02/tutori...acking-for.html

a55 has the best aps-c sensor according to dxomark
i wonder if a580 will perform much better

@ahpingko
is it something like this - http://pc.statusvia.net/

just a suggestion: try to code it in a way so there's a list of different model to choose from

dude, what's the point of having a DSLR if you're lazy to read up on basic stuff like these
DSLR allows full control and more freedom unlike PnS
without proper understanding of what your DSLR can do, you're limited by what you know hence the picture taken will just be a slight improvement from PnS or worse if your settings are set wrongly
(does anyone here realised there's a lot of disappointed DSLR users who wondered why their photos is not as expected?)
unless all you want is just to use Auto/Auto+ mode on your a55

trust me, there's a lot more than AF/MF that you'll need to know if you want to fully utilize your new baby to get the best out of it
here's a few links to begin with (IMO, goldfries did quite a good job on these writeup for beginners):
http://www.goldfries.com/photography/a-few...-a-digital-slr/
http://www.goldfries.com/photography/digit...erture-and-iso/
http://www.goldfries.com/photography/basic...-understanding/
http://www.goldfries.com/photography/just-...grade-buy-next/

can't deny it...that's the way to go

i did a google search on cleon and a380
it seems that cleon I (not II) is usable on a380

i guess this is your only alternative - IR remote http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores...552921665530711

then pay for the original equipment
it's much cheaper than getting another body+cable release

yamiya is selling the ori controller at RM111
ask uncle Chin from studio zaloon and see what can he offer you

where did u get it from?

it's okay, use the money that u've saved (by getting a550 instead of a580) for better lens in the future

b. Is there any significant diff between "cheap" & "expensive" filter?
Yes I guess, cheaper filter will result in less light going in

c. Why some pros decided to do away with such filter... (I don't want to ask them, ask u guys better...hahaha)
they want 100% light transmission?

try this link..u can see the difference clearly

i prefer the original one
