for dslr and dslt camera for sony .if lets say goin to cold country around 3 o 7 degrees temperature will it effect the camera ?

haha.. need to go to hutan..

not much

How to choose between...

A55 and A580?
Any link to read up?

I would like to get one by next month.

Thank you.

is there any thing i should do to check whether the camera is not faulty before i buy it?

No it won't, I can personally guarantee that. The battery can stand up to subzero temperatures. You might encounter problems in Antarctica but not places which are 3-7 degrees =)

8tvt: I have a pic with the same perspective as well! (pardon me for the lousy FB quality)

Added on February 14, 2011, 9:12 pmCheck whether it is new 1 (take a pic and check shutter count), check pop up flash, check hotshoe, check buttons, dials, take a pic with a memory card and view the memory card to make sure that its dust free and the sensor is clean. I think that's most of it, hope it helps!

Go google up?

Frankly, I prefer A580 over A55, though my girl prefer A55 over A580

Bigger body and battery grip helps lol.

Erm, test it kaw kaw lol.

If there is any problem, then ask for refund XP

here's a good guide - http://www.petapixel.com/2009/05/22/a-guid...used-dslr-gear/

yuhi, i think if you focused on the leaves it will be better

Haha! Just trying out a diff perspective The palm tree was in itself boring lar. Hahaha!

drueki, tsunamiboy: i've been to cold country, my bro is in england during winter, all our camera is fine. there are many people in cold places uses camera. need more convincing? go youttube, google search for A33/55 winter video and see how they shoot video in snow.

drueki: the batt, need to be keep warm, even the batt not in camera, but on the table during winter, the power will drop to zero iether way, no matter its sony, energizer or car battery (that why u see a lot ppl jump start their car after leaving their car several days in winter)

kekeke.. but i found that, if the tree is tall.. than looks nicer..
but here all pendek² one.. haha

ths guys for the info.
for a33 sony im trying to find user for this but not many i can find
i found that the battery life is not very good

Alpha A33 is rated at the lowest battery life among its SLT-series siblings, with 340 LCD shots, or 270 shots with the EVF

is it very bad?

tsunami, there is only 2 SLT in the world right now, and both uses the same battery, infact, the A55 has gps theorically, it take up more batt. so conclusion, A33 is not the lowest batt life among SLT

well, how many shots u going to snap anyway each day? 100? 200? 300? and best part is, sony battery indicate to 1% accuracy on the lcd, unlike other with "batt bar" which 1 bar may indicate 20% or 1%. why worry? summore today battery technology, allows us to charge the batt even it is not empty and will not damage the battery. but mosy people who owned A33 worry bout the battery life brought a spare one (cheap only) but most of them hardly uses the spare anyway because the 1 batt is enough somehow.

during travel, i only snap up to 50 shot per day. battery life is not a problem then. and the translucent tech thingy, is it good?

translucent is the future

ed when u going to conduct next workshop?

why worry just buy a spare batt...
2batt for the whole day is enough..

can buy expensive camera/lens.. why not battery?

sometimes as a student need to think of the economical way

Then I shall get the A55?
