i just feel weird, the different around 50shot..
is there any movement parts involved to drain the batt..

i think if using optical can reach 500shot..

I think it's because EVF higher reso..hence the diffrence in battery usage

The EVF requires more battery lol.
Just pop a spare batt in can already.
Can shoot 600 shots dy lo.
I intend 2 get spare batt 4 A55 newayz if I go 4 shooting much. A580 have better battery life compared to A55 though. Prefect for those non EVF fans lol.

ehhh..u bought already?

No idea lah bro...that's why one of the reason I'm getting A580 because I'll have best of both world, an OVF & a LV. As for A55 & A33, what you see in EVF will be the same as in LCD and Sony gives no option to have individual view/setting.

Don't worry lah, just buy an extra battery and enjoy yr shoots.....

My A100 can shoot up to 1000 shots on a full charge! No EVF, no live view but damn that battery just keeps going and going and going...

Wonder why they changed the battery...

A580 using bigger batt.. maybe can shot around 800..
that's alot..

marketing strategy perhaps?people will start buying extra batts to accomodate their usage...

maybe ppl complaint so bulky and the batt add the weight..
Japanese wants compact maybe.. for mobile.. so different market..

what u mean by individual view/setting??

the EVF compare to OVF:
-better DOF preview (relate to brightness)
-brighter than other OVF
-adjusted WB directly thru EVF
-the vertical&horizontal balance
-true histogram and more than enuf exif data.

but need to remember this is the first batch of dslt. who knows in future we have both EVF and OVF. better battery pawa, have better cooling system .
also i said that for me EVF better than OVF but still i use live view most of the time haha

battery is important.. 300+ shot not enough for certain occasions..
need atleast 3batt..
later always want to charge the batt.. wasting times..

Individual setting means for example in EVF, lets say I don't want the histogram but in LCD I want. At the moment, unfortunately no such options.
EVF is good but I'm not comfortable with the grip & the size of A55/A33.

ya the size so small.. like normal camera..
but i think can still fit nicely..

then get extra battery(s) la
but need to remind self regarding the overheating issue

for LV sure can, im just stating the difference between OVF and EVF.

joejoe2004 : can la change to your preference.
in live view or EVF mode, if you press display button it will alternate from the normal view, to the one with histogram or the one with the horizontal/vertical balance line . alaaa small size but great performance ok wut . i've been kacau my friend using d90 with my 7fps and af bokeh video

I kinda like the A55, it's lighter than most of it's cousins SLRs

Crop better or Non Crop Better ? + C&C Welcome

#1 Cropped



#2 Original Size

prefer non crop and no PP.

MIA for 5 days and man do I have alot of catching up to do.And thanks to my slow internet I need around 1 hour to cover all the posts I missed..haha..

wingster - agree with zstan on the PP part.but IMHO the crop looks ok.just I feel that it is kinda too close..

zstan pantang see lenglui photo.first to comment..

why no pp? mind to share?

First time try Beercan.. lol

Its CA prone although its sharpness and bokeh are good
