economical would be.. buying cheap camera then..
during my studies.. i can't even dream about it..

good luck with that, coz its world shortage now! sold till kosong. A33 everywhere la. it seem the world wont mind paying USD100 more for A55. so is malaysian paying rm400 more for A55~ that why sony now is skeptic to even push A560 into the market as people rather pay rm300 more for A580.

Don't be influenced by what other people say, go with your own preference, do your own research so when you buy it you won't regret because it is you who made the choice. =)

yuhi : sony till now is experimenting with the market, they have their own factory for most part, so no need worry, unlike other company has to make decision 2-3 months in advance to confirm order for the parts from 3rd party manufacturer. sony anytime can turn and make TV instead if they wanted to, since sony Alpha is only mere 2% of their total sales monthly. seriously, they are selling 10 LCD TV to 1 alpha!

i am using A55 for so long now and i have no issue about critical battery problems within a day usage....any SLR will need a battery grip battery pack extension if you want to have 'real battery power'

and YES...a55 consumes more power than DSLR as DSL'T'....but it will not make an issue when other great feature SLT offers...

Cheers~!

+1

thanks for the comment
it was taken under harsh sunlight

another thing about sony is I like how they are trying to be really innovative with the NEX and DSLT...i have a feeling that the upcoming A77 is gonna be a hit

i almost forget about the 3D Panorama...wait me grab one glass to play it out next time in showroom if possible...=p

I wanna ask how to create DARK background on subject shooting....teach me sifu

This post has been edited by Codyx: Feb 14 2011, 11:03 PM

one of the method used is flash

but for this one, the subject was under harsh sunlight while the background was in the shade
what i did was meter the cactus to see what's the optimum shuttle speed under the hot sun

use flash and high shutter and small aperture..

OK..i'll try next time..thanks for the tips

sharing some of my recent stage shots.

if only i had a f2.8 tele lens or the 135mm f1.8 prime then i could off my flash for awhile and take some shots without killing the colorful ambient light while maintaining high shutter and low iso.

This boy can't resist and started dancing too

Sony AWB ftw~

My AWB all ruined by my lousy KEEP filter...
Any good affordable filters recommended? something below 50 if possible

any comparison done between sony 50f1.8 and 35f1.8? in a dilemma of choosing which to buy.. any sifus got both prime lens and post the pic here so can see the image quality and stuff xD

below rm50 filters might as well dun use anything at all..........

Haha! I know well abt this since its Sony who puts rice in my bowls =) Just that its not from the dslr department

horror movie anyone?
