if you check my previous post, i had a few pictures from kuching such as the new DUN

i like the translucent body, but prefer if magnesium built. looks as if can pecah bersepah
but if they have the VG translucent i sure buy

Time to check my piggy bank for translucent A77 with transparent BG LOL....

i think both are diff... could b the translucent model is DSLT and the solid black model is DSLR

mastering, the 'plastic' see-thru body is as a model unit to show ppl what it looks inside only, they will never produce a unit like that... as they would then need to design another light protection to prevent light spill onto the sensor - which is kinda dumb..

nice

zeipher, lwliam, yuhi : thanks



i saw something really interesting.... the lcd has something at its corner, swivel? or something more impressive then the *ehem* turnaround lcd with slow lv/af video?




-------------------------------
the black color is just a mock up during the first NEX mockup announcement, see the final result of NEX, the mockup is far from its production look. so dont put too high hope that they will have DSLR version of A7-replacement.

@albnok
based on your review here - http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/sony-30mm-f28-...topic52279.html
you reckon 30mm f2.8 macro is a good walkaround lens?

Erm, correct me if I'm wrong but i think your camera LCD has higher pixel density so your pics will be much more vibrant compared to your monitor. My pics all look damn chun on an Iphone. Hahaha! When I use my notebook to edit my pics, when I develop them into photos the results are not so pleasing as the colours will look damn fake as what I see in my uncalibrated monitor is not what it results in the photo. So now I have the uncanny habbit of never editing my pics as they usually fail miserably (and because I'm noob in photoshop ) I just add watermark

For the colours, make sure your white balance is set correctly. Its is one of the most important aspects of photography which a lot of people will miss out. Once you know how to set white balance, you will notice that the colours of your photos will be much more vibrant. Another things is that you could use circular polarizing filter to make your skies look blue and increase contrast when shooting landscape pics under the sun.

ya..the key point is White Balance..nowadays i like to play around with my White Balance Settings..it can give different feeling into the subject and overall frame.

it looked dull to me..lol..and abit bengkok..

The new A77

trying to portray dull dull mood ma anyway use wrong iso liao. quite noisy. =(

ahpingko: Refer to the first page - I've posted a how-to to hide the pop-up flash from showing in wireless.

ieR: Nice! I like telephoto landscapes far more than wide-angle ones.

zeipher: Nice color in #2!

lwliam: Wow, magic hour on chicken wings. Nice!

67zai: Nice! I particularly like how clean #4 is (though you could shoot even more telephoto). You may also want to reduce the HDR and dodge effect - very obvious on her legs in #4.

evilhomura89: I like #2 - not very conventional!

Yes, 30mm is a great walkaround angle. So is the 35mm F1.8 DT SAM, if you want to shoot more in the dark than you want to shoot macro.

cjlai: Bummer though that they didn't take a better picture to show the LCD swivel mechanism.

hot chicks during CNY incoming

thanks for the comment, #1 and 2 is the same waterfall but at different angle
is it worth getting if a 2nd hand 30mm f2.8 macro is priced at 400?

colors are not there, as ahpingko said, yes it looks dull.. doesnt attract any attention from me at all.. the clouds could be made more interesting by adjusting the curves in PP, instead of an entire near gray canvas, creating too much negative space with no discernible subject matter.

lastly, horizon's a bit lopsided, but that's just nitpicking...

hey. thanks!
guess hv to bear with it. and still hv to learn for WB.
talking abt filter. i google abt Circular Polarizing filter and Neutral Density filter. now got confuse which one to use exactly.

yup..quite noisy..and too dull..

if i wanna get a remote trigger for my F42, which will u recommend?..

i m interested in this macro lens as well..2nd hand piece is recommended?

william, u are too straight forward..i about the say that phrase..but i scare i too straightforward lol..
