ahpingko: let me share my experience with DIY (excately like ur design)... the black cardboard area that cover the flashhead.... it will eventually overheat the flash head (unlike batt overheat, just swap new batt, u are good to go, head overheat requires 10 minute cooldown~)...  try cut off more cardboard until the Velcro area..

I sometime uses flash even in the outdoor.. as fill flash and eliminates shadows that falls on the subject's face. But i usually pair it with bounce card. smile.gif

not pro, beginner...

yesterday tried A580 in KLCC there, hmm... not sure my setting or whatever. when i took the picture, it tend to lag for 2 sec only can show a pictures, then take another 2 sec only can take another photos...

and the photos when i zoom, it look very noisy even in ISO 200.

while, A55 better with the same setting.

both camera i tried Auto and Manual mode.

is it possible the Demo A580 id engineering prototype or noto the latest firmware?...

it felt like the NEX juz got release, performance also far from accepted.... but now, after trying my bro`s Nex5, its fantastic...~~~

A55 too small for me, which hard to use the dial. while A580 is perfect fit to me.....

Anyhow, i was going to get either this 2 cemeras, end of the month or 1st week of next month...

evanttc: Just to be sure, always get them to insert a memory card - without a memory card, the performance varies greatly. I didn't feel the lag. Was DRO on with the A580? It could be that causing the noise.

As far as I know, Sony Style outlets do not get engineering prototypes. You can inspect the serial number at the bottom. The A580 I tried had a firmware of version 1.11.

I prefer Tamron 10-24 F3.5-F4.5 because of its range and aperture ...

but second hand Sony 11-18 F4.5~F5.6 is cheaper through but you get very dark aperture :{ (but still useful at outdoor)
