that's the thing. i don leave my camera 'somewhere' for more than 72 hours.

okla maybe now holiday can keep shooting. when degree start liao then need put drybox d.

Hey Guys,

Anyone know a place for a good deal on the A580? so far i found a place in lowyat for 2300... body only... is it a good deal ? are there any shops you know that sell lower than 2300?

You can always give it to me..

my research shown that 2.7k with kit lens is possible. even 2.6k is possible. Therefore, dig more b3fore making a purchase XD

2300 is okay. Can always buy second hand lens at a cheaper price.

If you willing 2 pass me back 200 bucks, i dun mind donating 2 u lol. >">
I prefer cheaper than the drybox >">

Nvm i do more research 1st..

chiahau - do you have any particular shops in mind? if you know of any that give good deals please do tell

Mikeshashimi - got the gear bro... (just updated my signature) just need to upgrade the body...

the 7 fps gives me goosebumps to listen to and the video is an added bonus.. wonder what the situation with the sensor heating is... read in a couple of places that the A580 sensor overheat in video mode... haven't had any proper reviews on the cam yet.. only freaking previews

There's one in damansara utara that gives quite a decent price, if i recalled correctly. See 1st la. If sony center at mid can offer me 2.7k, i might as well take it coz I'm just 10 min off midvalley. Easy 2 claim or settle anything also lol.

Hesitating now >">
A55 has 10 fps.. Lol..

i thought sony always sell it at the RRP with no negotiation?

ehem, the fact, as long as its not blowing direct from the aircond, the room is much "drier" then u expect(even its in low(cold) temp)... moist built up only Sudden Change in temp. i doubt ur aircond room will turn into an oven in 2 minute rite? the windows had this "condense" effect due to 'outside' is hot, cooling hot air outside from the inside, causing condense of water vapor. so, as long ur gear stays in the cold 'dry' room, its pretty much safer then 'wet hot' room.

its a longggg explanation to fully understand the whole idea. as long as its not sudden cold to hot, the lens is pretty much "dry"

chiahau - the A55 claims 10 fps but its buffer is not up to the job ... starts slowing down in less than 2 seconds...

The A580 has a lot more stamina compared to that... and also it does not feel like a toy... i really want to like the A55... i i do... but sony should have done a better job to make it more like an DSLR... it feels too ... toyish... i guess.. I hope the Rumors about the new A77 are true... an SLT Lens cam for more serious photographers

Not reli.
You need 2 pandai ketuk la.
I managed to get 2.5k for A55 with kit.
LOL~

Erm, i tested my pal's A55. It can go 10 fps indeed, unfortunately, poor batt life is stg that sucks for me. Evf is damn nice, too bad its too small to mount F58 >">
Macam toy lol.

A77 is not coming till next year TxT Therefore, A55 or A580 for me now

Waiting for a suitable offer 2 come knocking now XD

Actually it can. Not necessarily aircond room. Can be shopping malls. When u go outside, its cold to hot. Condensation will occur. Places like cold storage or something.

wingster: Nice #1 #2 #5 and #6!

Mikeshashimi: I've always preferred the cleaner bokeh on the Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM.

evilhomura89: That is a Sony Center - the Sony Style outlets have to sell at retail price.

yohanf: Depends on the card in the A55.

haha, i did said that, as long its not sudden change in temp... condensation dont happen. so its actually 'dry' not wet.

aside putting object right infront of the aircond blowing, that air is 'extreme' cold, and meet with normal room temp which is much higher (but still cold) condensation still happens, hence u get wet object when place directly infront of aircond.

tried video mode with a55 last week..i must say the AF really good and useful if you wish to take short video with your camera. The camera manage to stay focus at all time with the subject even i move around and mess with the zoom.

woob, all sifu, what is the best size to resize for blogging/tumblr?
