Sonystyle@The Curve 

I just called the Sony center,they told me the part just reach on Friday    huh? I just send for viewfinder cleaning & general services,what part they gonna exchange for me?  hmm...maybe the focusing screen? or the mirror?  I thought just normal dust

Sorry to hear about that mike, this is the first time I've heard about a Tammy getting gear stripped (actually this is the 1st time I've heard of any lens apart from the 18-70mm kit getting gear stripped).

Does this mean any lens which uses the body's AF motor to focus will have a tendency to get gear stripped? Can't imagine this happening to a 85mm & 135mm ZA! OMG!

hi all, just got myself sony dslt a33 learning how to use a camera. guys, other than setting the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture? what other elements that i must be aware of in order to snap a decent picture? and btw, my hand trembles alot due to smoking, anyone knows good medicine to cure it?

should i get 85mm F2.8?

Agreed with you bro. I also wanted to have more daring shots in 2011.

When can we have outings again?

a55 is better.

i prefer small body loh. naisssssss

Personally I prefer a580 over a55. I also dont know why.. Maybe my camera grip is so small, I prefer a bigger grip.
Makan battery I think.

i think not alot of a55 hard screen protector has been asked.

but i stil have to ask, coz the net has no info. and the malaysian sony website even show a700 version due to the confusion in model name.

so erm ... where to get it ?

yeah.. figured that too. i don't mind the live view not a major thing for me.

found a used unit of a550 for 1.5-1.7k. a5xx series is considered as an intermediate model?

@chahau,

found some sellers. pmed them but no response. maybe should wait for a while. errr im using my scholarship to buy xD so my budget is pretty much around that much only. wingster? can't find his username

@iamKiet,

dilemma between choosing which one to choose xD
true. but finding a550 sellers are quite hard. gotta wait for someone to sell then quickly buy later xD
thanks everyone for the input!

Hi Everyone..i'm going to buy a55 soon...and i need help

Should i get the body only or lens package?

if Body Only what 3rd party lens should i use?

Cheapest Price you all know?

Budget Wise

and Merry X'MAS!!

so what's the differences between 1855 and this f1.8?...advice for me to choose between one of them? since they both prices around the same...i guess

rearrange the a580 become a850 la

okay....any other lens which has a better zooming and better aperture compared to the stock 1855?

therefore i can decide to grab the body only and take better lens...please advice
Btw...i like small Gadgets....bulky item is just too troublesome as i just can dump my machine into my bad with any other things else

CZ is a budget killer 

btw how much?

Looks like i'm getting the Stock Lens package as you guys state rm23xx from xxxx person =P

Or see how much Sony willing to offer me....

okay...hope i get mine at CNY soon....need to finish my exams first...XD

Thanks for all Advices i Received! you guys ROCKS!
