with OVF is SLR edi..SLT structure different....cannot 100% light upwards...only some....therefore need Electronic to boast the viewfinder sort of thing

i think

Lol. Funny. I was asking a question that refers to 2 specific items and one unspecific item suddenly pop-up. Awesome.

Very likely no. Sony already announce that all future are DSLT.

All photographer's dream is to go FF lol.

nola...coz i saw the word "telephoto" and that's the model thing come out from me

most of the people's dream to go FF is because usually FF cameras are usually top of the end cameras with high specifications (different depth of field aside).

if canon and nikon were to come out with an entry level full frame body few years back i doubt the pros would wanna buy lor.

Who knows, they might do it since they are pretty much outta ideas lol..

@codyx - Understood.

definitely use raw

pro
reflector = cheap, lightweight.
can reduce shadow

cons
need someone to hold for u
need available light

silver for more normal mood.

gold for more warm mood.

Wah this Sony Alpha Thread really geng! Almost V51 already.
Canon EOS Thread, V37 only. Nikon worse, lagging far behind at V5.

My Friends shots MC's Flickr

yalo..i plan to take that 5 in 1 Reflector Set 100 x 150 cm (wide human size)..coz i saw got transparent diffuser to diffuse sunlight..

i see...thx thx..

btw, i only got kitlens...and 1 prime..
anyone can pinjam 17-50 tammy?..lol

I don't really care about the white balance in the camera, as I shot this in cRAW. The white balance was adjusted later in Capture1. The beauty of shooting in RAW....


I would prefer a silver / white reflector more than a gold reflector because most of the time, the gold reflector's light is simply too warm compared to ambient.... unless you specifically want to go for that effect.

Reflector's pro: No need batteries. Easy to bring around. No need scared will break if fall down. Can see the effect of the light from the reflector immediately.

Reflector's con: Usually more bulky than flash. Doesn't work at night (usually). Depends on available light (don't even need to think about this as fill-in when shooting at sunset times). Quite difficult to maneuver - you may need a buddy / assistant to help. Reflector very often can get into the picture without you noticing it at first. Can easily be blown away by the wind!

Flash's pro: More powerful. More versatile. Have a lot of type of light modifier to be fitted on the flash for more creative lighting possibilities. Usually more easy to hide from the picture. Not dependent on sunlight or other source of light. Available at night. Smaller and easier to bring around. Easier to control the amount of light it produces.

Flash's con: Easier to create harsher shadows. Diffusing the light from the flash will eat into the flash's available power. Needs a source of power (usually batteries). Easier to malfunction than a reflector. You will feel a bit more reluctant to pinjam a flash than a reflector to a friend!

Note: all the pros and cons of each solution is from my own experience using both items. your mileage may vary....


My suggestion: Have both readily available!

i got 1 flash already..so planning to get reflector too..so i have both readily available..u forget to put in flash con:
-need some skills to operate it nicely!

btw, wat size of reflector do u recommend ?..get as big as i can?..lol

don want to buy cheap umbrella?

work² work..

ALl pro here....comments pls...
i m newbie....nid to improve...^^

thx a lot in advance...

try to use Flickr as we can see a higher resolution.

this is too small

ok, wait i try use flicker..

got feel wan to.. ..umbrella then must use flash d...and need to get lightstand..btw, if i wan to use low aperture light F2.2 and wan to trigger that F42 using that pop up flash as commander, how to make it not appearing in pic beside use something to cover it?..use HSS and higher power on F42 ?..or straight get remote commander for my F42 so that i don have to tink so much, just shoot like usual, no need to worry about pop up flash appearing?...lol..

Wow! Fantastic!
