aiyo, can always sell off your a580 now ma. chiahau sure buy one.

lol, i thought you would have known about that long time ago
that's why i was having a difficult time deciding between the two

to us non-professional high speed sports photographer, it doesn't freaking matter if it were 5/7/10 fps la. please take that out of your consideration when comparing.

zstan : yes verry gooooD

e-jump : try search for ArcSoft Panorama Maker 5 , very easy to stitch photo with that. but cant do much editing
the best thing is can even stitch panorama from videos

wha7ever : the a33/a55 is continuous AF on the 7/10fps burst mode( can change to AF-S also) . limited functions , cant change the ISO/Aperture/Shutter. only metering , EV, WB ,etc... my a33 can go till 12frames jpegs then already slows down (using 8GB HG Pro Duo MS), havent tried with RAW/ Jpeg+Raw, the a55 is said to have more buffer thingy

but one thing bugs me, when in the 7fps mode i can go up to 12frames. but in normal Hi burst can up to 4-5frames only... is the 7fps mode uses lower quality images/compresses more??

I will get a new one

Yeap but tested my pal's one.. Dun like.. Kenot AF during video very sienz one ~.~
Need 4 me 2 slowly adjust adjust macam orang cacat >">
Nvm la, i go for A55 1st lo..

worst come 2 worst, I change A77/FF later.

Cool
But Hugin stitcher tool seems fine to my usage.

here's bigger North side MBS

and south side

for me video AF is just easier but i love MF better. can play with DOF and all. but best if there are lens with alltime MF override like the SSM. if Only Sony put the MF override on SAM lenses

One more night shot:

1. Almost the same view but this is one single shot.



And another mega pano.

what is the street price of a new F58am huh?

1.1k cheapest right? Gonna get one around dec, saving up after getting my body next week~"

^ woah... nice pano, tho got abit problem stitching at the centre.

wha7ever: the word 'cheat' is a little harsh it did mention 7fps priority, meaning it will put all energy into the speed and yea, it lock out the AE/AF, due to hardware limitation.

however, the fps issue. there are 2 type of burst (socalled) of Alpha. the normal burst mode, which u can 'tweak PASM' and fulltime working AE/AF, another one is the priority burst mode, which locks out AE/AF(on A33/55 its on the mode dail, so not sure if u can use it like AP mode)

the 6fps is the normal HiBurst mode of A55. which u can use it on PASM, unlike the priority mode of 10fps.

chiahau: stop being a gearhead, knowning all the spec(or comparing it), getting all the ting tong stuff wont make u any better in photography.
i know how budget affect ur buying. let put all spec aside... but judge by this 1 key point

are u going to get serious in photography? (as in go event shooting, gigs, perhaps join weddings).

if Yea, get a A580, u'll be thankful of that u will have grip option and F58 mounted still get well balanced weight. (and single longer life battery). bigger grip help relax ur hold after a 2-3 hours non stop shooting.

if No, just get A55 and play around and enjoy it, having a smaller camera, make traveling or going out with friends 'lighter' and passing to girls to play is easy too (small ma)... battery issue? the diff of rm200 to A580 can buy u 3 unit of 3rd party batt that can altogether shoot twice as much then A580. shooting video clip with friends is also much more fun... and u still can use it to cover light event/functions.

have fun

@Sig~ Ajar sama aku~

@chiahau: Try a55 + flashless/natural light photography.. a580 would more suited for 'jobs'.. a55 is for discovering in other words.. i would prefer to learn auto first before getting into manual (that implies also in video mode)

to be honest... how many of us really use the 3/5/7/10FPS function? i know some of use do, but how many? I rarely see and sport photographers here... or any birding photos... but even then, do they pan or do they burst is another question... or maybe both...

I have never used the burst mode on my a700... nor on my previous a100.

the only time in my photog history that i wish for extra fps on my a200 was when i went to shoot models on the runway.. other than that, 3fps will do..

I rarely use the burst mode. I think I can count the number of times I used burst mode using my fingers all these while and still have fingers to spare! I find that anticipating the moment to be much more useful than bursting.

Of course there are some occasions that need higher fps but not for me.

One funny incident is when I was shooting during a PC Fair and here comes one fella with a Canon 1D series, if I'm not mistaken, to shoot the models we were shooting. You know what, he fired the cam like a machine gun. The model/promoter gal was just standing there! He did this not once but 3 times! I wondered if he was there to shoot models/promoter gals or just to show off! LMAO!! Blatant abuse of the burst capabilities.

ieR: Yeah, I know it's a little harsh but being a little harsh can bring out a point

chiahau: ieR brings out very good point to take note of in which similar to what I had in mind when I upgraded (kind of) from the Alpha 300.

Anyways, here's a video... do you think you need that kind of burst rate? Just for laugh

lol, just use optical trigger la bro.

A dude selling 1000 only.. Brand new.. But his shop is in melaka.. Go search in dslr section in garage sales.. I'm on phone now so can't give you the link..

i brought this 1 week ago, ok, not bad, but ur cam need to be up side down,
if with long zoom lens, better dont go for this
