QUOTE(Codyx @ Jan 3 2011, 11:09 PM) I have this question for some time... i kena alot this kind of stupid brandcist..hehe..anyway, i will just say coz i like Sony..XD..and some even ask me for opinion what brand to choose for dslr..when i say sony quite good, then they will say "i heard canon/nikon more pro"..wtf is "more pro" People often critics(probably they just curious) about Sony Alpha Cameras... When you asked any Canon or Nikon users they will probably have negative idea's for Sony's products..not because they grasp the differences but seems they never understand the detail from Sony products... they just have bad view-point for it although they never experience one before I clearly know Sony Alpha are practically/Mostly Entry-level DSLR's, And i know their "Like.No.Other" motto make them create something that purposely 'differ' from other competitors.... I need some Pro comments for this situation and some clues why such attitude or should i say...their disgust towards sony Thanks in advance for all the comments i can get because i found this is a Serious Issue when an Alpha users met with other Nikon nor Canon pupil thanks  ..then i will give them my theory:-check your purse got how much -go try out each brand -try hold and see comfortable or not (is it too big or too small for u  )-choose dslr as if u choose wife.. ...must be nice to handle..  anyway, action always do the best..challenge them..show them ur ability in handling dslr..no matter wat brand wat dslr, outcome always speak itself..i also can use my noob sony to take pic and appear in canon magazine..so wat..  QUOTE(mcline_007 @ Jan 3 2011, 11:29 PM) YEAH.... i wanted to ask the same question....tis happen to me, i was requested to be a 2nd photographer for a wedding event. so asked me wat camera i use, told them sony a550. so the Nikon user told me go for pro camera like nikon y use sony...its a TV brand... luckily no ppl tell me is TV brand..xD QUOTE(chiahau @ Jan 3 2011, 11:35 PM) This is common la nowadays. Just ignore their attitude. Some people using noob Sony camera can outperform those using expensive canon/nikon camera also. It's all in the photographer. The camera is just a tool to convey your ideas. some noob ppl using those big brand, but picture like shit..nothing special, no point to use such dslr..i will normally just use my phone camera beside them.. Lol. If me, i would tell him it matters not what camera I use, rather what picture quality I produce >">  QUOTE(hazril @ Jan 4 2011, 12:18 AM) i have friends from oly,nikon and canon...all can get ngam together....just use my usual answer for them...usually shuts them up at that moment.... this is epic!!!!!i bought the cam using your money ka? QUOTE(cjlai @ Jan 4 2011, 01:15 AM) how come can go so near with 75-300??...wow..i love this angle man!! |

QUOTE(shootkk @ Jan 10 2011, 10:40 AM) This is what is called lucky shot. ya..mine is lucky shot..i cant think of any other ways to shoot that eagle with my slow telelens..jz burst it..thats the only way for me.. You aim at one subject and let off a burst of shots either manual or using the camera's burst mode. Sometimes you can get one great shot. It happens. This is the reason why most fanboys like to have high fps body. They use the 'spray and pray' method to get one shot and show it off. What they don't tell people is the thousands of other shots they have thrown away to get that one shot. Experienced users learn to hone their skills and can eventually get good shots without resorting to the 'spray and pray' technique. QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Jan 10 2011, 10:42 AM) Spray and Pray is good for fast moving stuffs actually. Trackside photographers would attest to that i agreed.. |

QUOTE(zstan @ Jan 10 2011, 11:29 PM) This is one of the setbacks of the EVF unfortunately. Where it will show noise when viewing under dim conditions. i woke up late that day..supposely my friend set alarm at 6.30..but he wake up and off it then continue sleep.. get used to it and it will be fine. This has nothing to do with the shutter speed. Use a small aperture f8-f22. Then can get Liao. @ahpingko Wa very nice sunrise leh. What time u woke up?  Nice shot of the buttjob too. ..by that time i wake up is already 8am..i go down to the beach...according to my exif, the shot is taken at 8.46am MYT..lucky the sky still have some orangy feel..not yet fully brighten up..and i do some further post processing to bring out the sky more.. QUOTE(eddybeh @ Jan 11 2011, 12:19 AM) ieR: congrats~~~ thx bro..ahpinko: very nice langkawi series... QUOTE(cjlai @ Jan 11 2011, 01:51 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |
