the shop offer RM2300 while others all offer RM2450-RM2499.
RM2300 for a55 with 18-55 kit lens, free 8gb memory card and bag. Is it cheap ?
Actually not that attractive, it is just cheaper, but now not attractive anymore coz got problem. T_T
All my frens laugh me by saving RM150-Rm200 now having more headache. >"<

Lol.
I got 2.5k from Sony Style. Rather not suffer your problem xD
Too bad, Jan/Feb 2011, A77 might come soon, therefore, holding any purchases still xD
Recycling dinosaur DSLR 2 use now XD

QUOTE(Kul | Mo0 @ Nov 15 2010, 04:39 PM)
Yo guys! a55 or a580? And why? (:
*
A580 would be better, as Gouki said. a55 cant mount big lens and F58 properly without looking damn weird XD
But if you can hold it, wait for A77.

I got an offer 2.7k with drybox for A580, but i wonder whether the quality is good or not, plus whether I need the drybox or not.

the issue is when u need to store (or forgotten) a lens for a long time... fungus grow really fast when the "requirement" is right.

I already got an Aipo drybox >"> But its quite full with junks lens inside.

Its just that the A580 deal is 2.7k with another drybox which I do not need >"> So wondering should I try 2 get another bargin or what la lol.

Cheapest so far is around 2.6k like that. Perhaps can get lower also XD

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

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

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

the 7 fps gives me goosebumps to listen to smile.gif 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... sad.gif 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 managed to get 2.5k for A55 with kit.
LOL~

QUOTE(yohanf @ Nov 20 2010, 12:15 AM)
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
*
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 biggrin.gif

Waiting for a suitable offer 2 come knocking now XD

NEX is still Alpha...  icon_rolleyes.gif

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.
*
A55/A33 is also like NEX, but using A-mount only lol. A55 damn small if compared to A580 >"> But both fits my hands ironically. laugh.gif

Too bad, A580 is priced 200 bucks more than A55 >"> Lol.
