albnok: yeah i know it was a mock design... but mock designs are always fun to look at.

do u go out much with ur camera? --> of course, haha.... then a bag is essential.

how to put in the bag? ---> depends what you're gonna put inside the bag (amount of lenses/bodies/accessories).

i think most people just leave 1 lens attached to the body at all times.

woah ipad... haha...surely will get more lenses sooner rather than later... haha.

choosing a bag really depends on what you're gonna bring out. Lets say u NEED to bring ur laptop/ipad together with ur camera then u definitely need one with a laptop compartment.

a cheaper alternative to the 5MDH or rather 7MDH is the Bagman Sling Bag (large). or you can try the Driftwood Series which is really cheap but offers really good padding IMO.

with your 'gear' just being the kitlens with the body, Id suggest something smaller (maybe to fit a body + lens, 1 more lens and a flash)... Crumpler's 5MDH would be a great choice for a more casual look. Lowepro gives a more professional look IMO. this is of course provided you have the budget...

a crumpler can cost up to as much as rm300-500 depending on model, but the bagman (same size as 7MDH) cost only rm165. so the amount of money you are willing to spend on a bag also plays a part in choosing a bag.

lol. of course it can fit the ipad bro but theres no dedicated sleeve/compartment for an ipad (means u just chuck it in)...
but the current driftwood bag that im using has a zip'ed compartment which i think would fit an ipad.
search for 'driftwood' in garage sale "photography accessories" section.

beercan ranges around 700-850 depending on the cosmetic and glass condition.

Sig: nice.. i love #1... and i like #3 but with less saturation...

shukrie: why dont u try to make it black and white and up the contrast abit.

yes, never get all those wide/macro/tele converter shit... its not worth ur money...

but the raynox is seriously good value for money.

with the basic 1855 lens? should be okay i guess...

if you're planning to get a filter, just get a capalang one la.. ahhaha if youre not so particular about the filter... but if u are, then get the Zeiss filter...

PS: Filters SHOULD NOT cost you above rm100 UNLESS if they are Zeiss, B+W, Hoya Pro 1D (correct arh?haha)... coz alot of new buyers get conned by the shop with crazy filter prices.

yeah... theres UV, Infrared, CPL filters just to name a few...

and theres alot of brands...

Hoya is a good brand... but the higher ends one ive mentioned above.

just get those Keep or Kenko la then if you dont intend to spend much on filters...

Wingster, nice series. Really like the feel of ur shots.

guys... noob question... whats so great about the 50mm 1.4 compared against the 50mm 1.8 ?

owh i see, so nothing like, the bokeh is so much better... or way sharper... ?

owh thanks for the feedback yo

the biggest problem is when the temperature in the place you store your lens changes. like say, in an aircond room... when u switch the aircond off, temperature will go up and there will be some moist/vapour... and it usually occur on glass surface like windows... or more precisely, your lenses.

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

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.

NEX is still Alpha...

but to answer ur question....

Alphas are DSLR and DSLT (a33,a55) and NEX are EVIL systems (except VG10 of course).
NEX uses E-mount and Alpha uses A-mount.
And i think the other points are self explanatory.
