i tested the A65 before, it feels good i think better than a580

have to try it myself at uncle chin's place~

Eii, betul ka ni?? I think A580 better leh

Lol, it matters not, as long as your hands like it, can already lo....

Btw, Kata bag ish kinda tempting me right now....

i donno if u guys notice or its old new or im slow. but i donno konica minolta still make lenses and the design of this seems familiar (http://www.dpreview.com/news/1110/11100609...ybridcamera.asp)

btw thanks for you guys' opinion and info!

Best grip - a700, a850, a900

me last decision go for a77 + walkaround 1650 SSM. reasons are:

nex5n+EA2+24mmZA -rejected due to no SSS/OSS in body or Zeiss lens, EA2 will sedup power while get PDAF, no EVF (lagi mahal if buy the external EVF in overall package cost), no moisture sealed, less dail, etc. most important here is not consider the size, even i consider the compact, this option defeat its purpose after plug with ea2 +CZ lens (no pancake) thisit make it as equal to dslr size also and cant masuk your pocket

there is a moment i think sony E-mount 24Z price too close with A mount CZ24F2 FF lens, as you say invest good optic vs body, i used to think on cheaper body like a580, a35, a55 to match with CZ lens. but seriously, those body capability i am not interesting due ttheir many downsize. i am not a pure STILL user, I want good videospec as well. Furthermore i do not know how siok that CZ24f2? will it as walkaround as 1650 SSM? albert used to share his CZ24f2 *sample photo to me...still not 100% convince. if got hand on experience is nice.

invest on optic seem wrong when *major of sigma not compatible with a77 i bet the we will see again in future when liquid tech. lens announce for new body.

so, finally kena IER *** ***, then come back to my initial decision a77 with SSM kit -defintely a walkaround lens with a700 successor body (the IQ is getting better and better than D7000, 60D) -which is enough for my level lol.....


*correction,

all sigma incompatible? seems wrong there..

Wow awesome sunsets shukrie??? Are those all taken at Miri? I must drop by there one of these days liao.

Nutz, the a55's ergonomics is quite bad la. even more so if you are using a heavy lens and a f58 flash gun. A bit unbalanced. Not for me. A580 should be ok after adding grip.

Now I waiting for a77 price to drop

kena me what? @.@

t-i-u t-i-u

now the main issue i have is budget...if i buy a nice body and invist abit on lens...i can only buy third party lens (sigma/Tammy/tokina)
the perfect sharpness i don't care...because im not a pixel peeper...
and yeah...i am mostly taking stills...but i wanna try video...thats why i am trying A65...and the 24mp sensor is tempting me...

A77 seems so far away from me budget wise..
because i am still a hobby shooter...i dont shoot for money...cant spend too much on photography...


PO*SON hahaha

im thinking Sigma 17-70 OS HSM...because video mode focusing no sound...

Use CS5.5 Soundbooth just one click will denoise your all focusing sound.

tamron?? i seem it as pointless even budget is the concern. if you are saying back to the past, alpha user do not have much choice on walk around lens with 17-55 or 1650 range like in canon or nikon, i am agree to get copy of tamron. but now we do have new lens with latest tech. decent quality even in wide open, moisture sealed and most important cheapppppppperrr price.

Canon 1755mm f2.8 USM IS Rm3500 only (little expensive due to inbuild IS)
Sony 1650mm f2.8 SSM (Moisture sealed) RM2000 (but someone already offer at rm1850 in cari)
Nikon 1755mm f/2.8G IF-ED Rm4900 only
Tamron 1750mm f2.8 Non VC Rm1300? (i not sure, should be amost there)

you see the tamron is not dropping their price, the 1750 is getting old, out of perform by other. while i saw the different story for Voitlander 25mm f0.95 is drop their price like hell after panasonic introduce their leica 25mm f1.4 AF. It is really up to our own decision whether still want buy this copy. My take feel worthless. could rather save more few hundreds straight to get the Sony 1650 or get 2nd hand copy 18-55mm rm2xx to play 1st
