QUOTE(Codyx @ Dec 28 2010, 02:55 PM) F42 might just do fine then why not stick to the in-built flash since it doesn't tilt, twist or turn and can be used for a long time  ...no need to tilt or twist type now...even a still design can use for very long time    |

QUOTE(Codyx @ Dec 28 2010, 02:59 PM) already said build in flash is too small and cannot face upwards...it's like a shortgun pointing at only one direction....close-up shot will die...and hardly to divert the lighting of that small flash using hand ot whatever tools then you might wanna check this out - http://www.lightscoop.com/what-is-lightscoop.html |

QUOTE(zstan @ Dec 28 2010, 08:35 PM) i got my ex-flash before the f2.8. with good iso noise performance, i can go up to iso3200 and live without flash and wide-aperture lens  though the lens is much better in many ways than a kit lens with a f2.8. i can leave my flash in my bag for most of the time now. Added on December 28, 2010, 8:36 pm if i buy a850 then i shoot with what lens?  kit lens FTW |

QUOTE(Codyx @ Dec 28 2010, 08:47 PM) please don't fight due to me haha no worries sometimes we like teasing each other for fun, but we mean no harm @zstan hahah, i'm just kidding...btw, i do think of getting that tamron 17-50 f2.8 as a replacement in the near future currently no choice but to fully utilize kit lens @chiahau only sonystyle (not sonycenter) allows testing to the max |

wired shutter remote and a IR remote what are the differences?
which one is better? is it true that the IR remote can only do single or 2s timer shot whereas the wired shutter remote can do bulb? |

QUOTE(porkchop @ Jan 1 2011, 05:57 PM) ejump and mastering, both very nice shots!! i think it's normal since your hotshoe is exposed to air and moisture causing really mild oxidation which will affect the metal contactsanyway first purchase for 2011....home minister gonna kill me Logitech Bluetooth mouse (cincai snipe cos testing lens)  F58  (I am having a problem with the contact, the body does not detect the flash when first mount...but after I used my fingernail to scratch the contact points, then the flash detect properly....do u think I should send the body in to service center or the scratching of contact is "normal"??)» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |
