There'll be no issues with bringing your camera gears to China during winter.

You'd need to watch out for 2 small things though.

1. If it's really really cold out there, and you don't plan to use your camera for a long period (let's say 3-4 hours), take out the battery and keep it in your jacket or pants pocket where it is warmer. Cold weather is not an ideal condition for battery storage. This applies to all types of batteries (Sony, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, AA, AAA, D, acid... etc)

2. If you are moving from cold to warm environment (ie. outdoors to shopping mall), make sure you do not immediately turn on or remove your camera from the bag. Let the camera body and lens to adapt to the warmer environment for a little while (5-10 minutes) to prevent condensation from forming on the lens and sensor. It is not damaging to your camera if it happens, but DO NOT attempt to clean the condensation on the sensor if you're not familiar with sensor cleaning. If is happens on your lens, just give it a quick wipe with a microfiber/lens cloth.

Jimlim: thanks.

and, there isnt a prefect camera, but "a perfect bonding between you and your gear." pick one and shoot. even many of the pro here owns the old A900 which has *ehem* terrible iso, are able to make it even further then just iso... just get one, and spend the time learning to shoot better then wasting the time wait wait wait wait for the perfect camera. knowledge gain during time wasted if far greater.

seriously, i will gila soon  ; bahaya break - go -bahaya break-go; just release to go with A77VQ, now pull break again on A77VQ observed on A7X new camera in plan. This sony so cute, may be 16MP A77 body+features lol dreamimng

Taiwan punya
Still got warranty until 2013 wo

That price is with delivery? How much is it brand new anyway? Condition? Because I've been offered RM1100 before for a 1 year old Sigma 50 1.4, that time I don't have resources to get it, else...  That's why I said 1.4k is a bit pricey.

Yalor, I feel sakit hati also... From the same seller whom I bought my CZ from..

Hi Guys,
I new here. Just "divorce" my CANIKON and happily married to sony a580 and i would say it is much better than my old nikon d40 and canon 50d. i'm planning to get either sony speedlite 43am or 58am but i can't find enough info about this two "cobra" family.

some info that i got says that 58am always having overheating issue.it is true? other than different GN are there any other major different?

My current gear now is a580+battery grip+ sony 18-55mm+sony 24-105mm ( sony 50mm f1.8 - waiting for delivery ) samyang 85mm f1.4 ( next purchase)

I'm more into Wedding and Product Photography.

Hope can get some advice from u guys.

Thanks
