decoded will show the battery information accurately on the camera such as remaining percentage etc

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

which is??
what's the price like?

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

lemme guess
the one in short skirt, is local..the rest are tourists

sony trying to reduce cost by removing all those stuff like hot shoe cover, kit lens hood etc??

guys, i'm going for gear-hunting soon, mayb in this coming few days/weeks
what to do to prevent being conned?

i know one of them - avoid buying over-priced ciplak filters (what are the average pricing for normal filters??)

is it possible to extend warranty if i got it from other shop rather than sony center?
normal as in those commonly found like kenko, hoya..not some unknown brand or those premium brand

finally got my a580
RM2650 body+kit lens+8GB hx memory stick+bag
RM19 KEEP uv filter
RM176 for extra 2 years warranty
total damage: RM2845

review...well, i can't really do a review as i have nothing to compare with
a55 was out of stock in all the shops i visited today

and the price was pretty reasonable for me

no la, i think it's random

yes

well, the grip is much nicer with a580 and i'm planning to focus on photography not video
so a580 is a much better tool for me, for serious photography in near future

@shootkk
haha i won't complain bout the price since i know it's the best price that i can get

a580 virgin pictures up! come give me your harshest critiques, thank you!!
btw, is there an easier way to grab direct link from flickr other than using the "share this->Grab the BBcode->copy paste the img tags" method?

should i change anything with the vivid mode?

@joejoe
yup, it was standard mode with no change to saturation, contrast n sharpness
probably i should start changing them, any personal preference on setting that i can start with?

some entertainment (not for the faint hearted gearhead)

same here in penang
haven't seen any a55 boxes on display around in shops

Thanks for the comment!
I don't understand "point them lower", does it mean taking from a lower angle or higher angle?
#9 was hard, the dragonflies were flying most of the time, i was lucky to catch one landing on the stem
