Cause now I urgently need money ma. ): And IQ for either a55 or a580 also much better than a700 dy wei. ):

i dunno wat u mean by a580 IQ is better than a700~ if u mean ISO noise yes~ but IQ? hmm.gif

and since u got big ass lens like the sigma 70-200~ better go for a580 + VG lar~ a55 too small for that~ a55 is even too small for the f58am lor~ sweat.gif

but why trading in ur a700 for a580? not like much money u can save? and i still love my a700~ lol~ even its dinosaur~ tongue.gif

in fact~ my frens on d90 and a550 oso prefer to hold my a700~ blush.gif

just my 2 cents~ tongue.gif

ahpingko: Forgot one thing for flash bounce. If the ceiling is not dark in color then okay, if it's dark in color... how low also no use because it absorb all your lights biggrin.gif

If point your flash directly using TTL is okay but tends to be flat. All depend on how bright the environment is and etc.

and thats when stofen/diffuser come handy. biggrin.gif

oh mai..i feel that my skills sucks till the max..just nw having buffet in Delicious @ Marc Residential...the nice yellow ambience surrounding..i used bounce flash to the ceiling...at iso 800 , F10, Flash compensation -2, 1/160..WB at flash white balance+3..all the picture come out like under normal light...yes, quite sharp and nice..but without the nice yellowish ambience feel.....
*
dont be so obsess with stop down sharpness lar. try to use larger aperture range. if you still stubborn with sharpness, then you have to bump up your iso to 1600 or even to 3200 to compensate F10.
or get a better lens that will give u the same sharpness even at F4, and u dont need to stress your flash light and to high iso. smile.gif

need tweak custom WB??...the whole scene is nicely lit up...don misunderstood...everything nicely lit..i m using flash power 1/32..my prob is the pic looked very normal, just as if the restaurant using white bright fluorescent light..my pic come out sharp and nicely lit..but jz without the orangy feel...maybe my wb setting turned it back to white...i using flash with diffuser pointing to ceiling...
i tried at F5.6...at auto flash setting...the flash is not bright enough...i used lower shutter such as 1/5 at iso 1600 with auto flash..then i turn off flash, it looked quite the same...so i use higher power of flash at 1/32, shutter 1/160 iso 200...become too damn bright..so i up it to F10..
anyway...i feel so hard...i need practice more... cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

i got a fren that was trying to poison me with his 5Dmk2 and his L lenses.
The L lens built and IQ is awesome, i mean its expected IQ for its price you are paying especially the 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8.
Then as he is playing with my a700 + VG + 50mm f1.8. he suddenly said, "eh, sony's grip and button layout is better to access, especially the VG."
i just smile, and he ask, "how much is this VG?" i replied, "about 1k for brand new." then he ask, "magnesium chassis also?" i replied, "yeap. even the VG for a900 is about the same price with same grip and buttons/dials." he say, "thats a bargain! i paid 1k+ for my 5D's VG and it grip like a brick." i LOL. tongue.gif

Added on December 3, 2010, 1:51 pmthen i say for the last statement, "well, alpha system is cheaper for poor chap like me." tongue.gif

Wokeh! I upgraded My A850 from firmware V1 to V2.

I shot a couple of ISO3200 shots to see if there are any difference. Turns out the results are inconclusive. I did see a little improvement but I can't say that it means anything.

Here are the shots:

V1

sifu, there is some minor chroma noise improvement like wat william said. but from my cock eyes, V2 still seems sharp enough for me lar, not much difference on that. well, got improvement is better than nothing at all. i guess that is how much the updated software can do along the limitation of the ageing hardware. time for sony to bring on their new pro models to shut others up. come on sony, a7xx and a8xx and a9xx. pls surprise us. smile.gif
