sadly, its a world wide shortage on A55 and A580 (plentiful of A33 thou) even u preorder, becareful, sony store house themself is empty of A580 (and A55)

even after cny, i doubt u can get cheap A55/580 price... and the A560 might not launch in many country, not sure Sony will shift their manufacturing focus on A55/580, since they sell a lot better then expected (more then A33!) and the production still cant meet world wide demand (including nikon and pentax demand...)

actually, there is still some stock left, some dealer just sell it at RRP price to take advantage of the market, eg. fotokem... u might as well better head off to nearest Sony Center, and ask for "sony free gifts" like sony survival bag, etc (fotokem gives china bag (rm20) and china tripod(rm40)...)

In some situation, it does actly lol.

You go Sony Style also there got display A580, how can they don't know?

Erm, Retail price is 4k with kit lens bro.... That's what in Sony's booklet thingy. Go Midvalley Sony centre, maybe can get around 2.8k perhaps? See luck lol.

With kit la >">

I got it like 2.55k with kit also wad >">

Yes they have it. rm3088 A580+kit sony retail(if i am correct), fotokem 2999 (some able to nego till 2900), street price should be around 2799 (2.8). u can always refer to the first page of the thread for pricing. i asked for A55kit 2 days ago, 2899 no nego =.= crap... not sure if they lock the A580 to rrp or not...

the sensor works better, yes, the sensor (apsc 16mp) itself is slightly better then canon 60D (550D/7D 18mp apsc sensor), but in terms of controls(physically), 60D is in diff category/class (hence the price tag~). but Sony is more feature packed, and user friendly, easy to use and learn, what's even better, sony provide free basic workshop (usually fully booked/reserved)... and the best thing of all, cheaper! even accessories and lens are cheaper too! (except the 50F1.8 (codyx hahaha))

Albnok: the alpha legion... change to, the Alpha Dogs with leading sensor and zeiss lens can ahhh? lol

I got mine, wayyyy before this crisis arise XP

And i got mine from Lolyat, not Sony Centre.

it's fake HDR though
i think i overdone it for this one, but it looks cool for some ppl, some might despise it

then do you know WHEN does the camera utilizes Contrast AF and when does it utilizes PDAF?

no a55 userbar?

Either get the tammy or perhaps a prime lens to boot.

get a 35mm f1.8 sh b good for ur daily use & bokeh....

death_nite: #1 with the proper WB would be great. I like #3 how it brings into context the baby and mother.

for phottix, when u buy a S6 type of remote, the coldshoe (not HotShoe because its not wired with eletrical contacts) will be in Sony standard shoe.

i owned the phottix cleon II S6, it is good, i dont need a high tech, overrate with massive function i dont need. i just need a cheap simple basic WL trigger. and yea, it can mount on sony hotshoe, its not the 'iso coldshoe' mount.

noticeable on A550(Exmor) at JPEG, iso3200 above in burst mode vs single shot.
but in RAW, its raw noise, the NR post processing done in PC software. u wont see the diff in RAW.

not sure on A33/55/560/580 they got modify/upgrade the bionz to able to process the high NR on iso3200above in burst or not. someone clarify for me? albnok? coz

Added on February 8, 2011, 12:43 pm* i was talking about Native NR for exmor sensor, u able to set normal or high, the high is disable in burst mode, but the high only activate after iso3200.

so basic iso100-1600, u wont get native High NR(in A/D conversion), so u wont notice anything below iso1600

but must stress that, i yet to confirm the A33/55/560/580 will have this issue.

thanks

using Fader ND when i took these pics...  btw, they are HDR fr 7 exp....

guys, i have a problem here with my camera, i see in my live view the picture is freaking awesome, but once i save in my pc... it goes "ew..." and i have to edit all =.= why is that? especially the colour.. seems abit.. dull lol. or maybe i prefer warmer colour thats why i think it is dull =d
