sigh. am i the only guy who spent rm900 to repair to sensor alignment stuff

jimlim007: That 8GB Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX has 200x or 30MB/s read, 100x or 15MB/s write card. Coincidentally, I just bought a 16GB Sandisk Extreme Pro SDHC UHS-I rated at 300x 45MB/s read and write speeds for RM250 at Low Yat Plaza.

Hmmm good question! What if the A77 was in Video mode and we pressed the remote shutter?

NutZ748: Nice #2 and #3!

Codyx: Could be better lit on the left.

jimlim, one thing i've learnt is that not to judge too early, or as in your case, unless you have a hands on on the actual thing, its best to just let your opinions be neutral. If you have actually tested and doesnt fit your taste, no one can fault u, but its quite clear that you've not, and using images as your assumptions. i'd  rather wait and see what suprises is in stored before saying anything. As the saying goes, its best to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

you did not just share the videos...you shared your views on the camera as well... unless you copied paste it from somewhere...

Agree with william.

Unlikely for me to turn the LCD facing me and use it to camwhore anyways XD

Unlikely question, beside the signal bar for Steadyshot, if there is an icon blinking, what does that supposed to mean? Getting really not used to OVF liao, bad sign for wallet.

Any problem the lens is made in china?

jimlim007: You can laugh at how the D7000 focuses in Live View, but you can't laugh at the A77 in Live View.

Also I have the NEX-5, LA-EA1 and Zeiss 24mm F2.0 SSM ZA and I can tell you that it is imbalanced.

I have also tried the NEX-5N with the E-mount Zeiss 24mm F1.8 and it is a heck lighter and smaller.

chiahau: Nolah 24mm F2.0 SSM is RM3xxx.

I also kena delete post before. I didnt know. No notice no nothing. Then I repost, kena ban 3 days.

Quick LV has been in dslr's earlier then SLT/mirrorless. Even my a350 has it. I think not even D7000 beats it as it only uses CDAF while QLV uses PDAF (the new Oly-EP3 beats it though).

Ea1 allows you to mount a-mounts and lets u use screw-driven lens in addition to SSM lenses. (focusing is not as fast as Ea2 as it uses CDAF + some other reason which I don't know lol...)
Ea2 has a Translucent mirror which reflects light onto a PD sensor which allows PDAF and a probably improved screw drive motor to allow faster focusing.

Wideopen primes lens are very versatile but its up to the photographer on how to utilize it. Wide angle = lots of DOF meaning you will get plenty of unwanted stuff into your shots. And most wide angles produces fair to ulgy bokeh + distortion. If you're looking for a lens that excels in the things you desire, a fast 35mm will probably suit your needs much more.

Errrr, Sony's LV has been fast since god knows when la dude. Even the old A550 and other models are having pretty decent LV focusing speed too

Frankly, A77 should be/likely would be better than 5N is many factors than one. But some are not obvious and people tends to overlook it.

And most of the time I see Albert, he's using prime lens lol~" XD

24Z f2 around 3xxx? Decent pricing, decent pricing. Must not buy....

1. Sony dint say anything about the e mount lens being FF lens or DT lens, so we dont know anything yet.
2. e mount 24 zeiss vs ZA 24 f2, is e mount 24 is much lighter and smaller than ZA 24 - alot.  So the ZA 24 is not really ideal to walkabout with nex 5n.
    And u can also go for other alternative lens such as 16 pancake or the 30mm macro. Even the 18-55 can be nice walkabout lens.
So far most entry level camera and lens are made in thailand. Only those high end like full frame is made in Japan

jimlim007: Of course you can hold the lens with your left hand to balance it. However, because I have tried the NEX-5N with E-mount 24mm F1.8, I would prefer it!

Yup the LA-EA2 has a translucent mirror, at the expense of 1/3rd stop of light.

I like my 24mm F2.0 for close portraits - you get a sense of location.


From the 24mm F2.0 on the A900.


No problems with people walking in front of you, because you are in front of everybody!


You'd know where I took this picture - at a fair.

yuhi: The LA-EA1 doesn't AF screw-driven lenses. The LA-EA2 does. The Zeiss 24mm F2.0 has very clean bokeh, much better than the Minolta/Sony 50mm F1.4.

jimlim007: hi, there is one little problem here... you are too technical. every little dot of pixel capture affect your head~ till today, i still love my A300, which is about 3 years old... it has QLV (that when 450D and D90 introduce their native LV too) i shot a lot of photo with it, over 70k shutter count, it restrain me a lot, limiting me, but i pushes it more then anyone here able to. i shoot iso1600 with it, and i find it, well,"terrible" in technical terms, but my client doesnt mind and loves it, because the photo brings laughters, memory, and blessing. noone dares to compare sharpness of my A300 with any of their camera... those camera owners calibrated by me, they know. william wan cucuk me everytime i show him picture....LCH too...

what is the purpose do you even buy a DSLR? if its for "KICK" because you own a hell good of gadget, please try leica, or hasselbald. if its for laughters, memory, and blessing, seriously, ANY CAMERA WILL DO... i bet my A300 can do better then you with A77 its always been about the user... if u need some "relief" from gearhead syndrome, go to FlickR, flick for older camera model "400D, A200, D40x" and feel how those "great" photographer captured those marvelous photo.

coming back down to earth. please buy something within your budget, also restrain your "spree of buying". A77 is indeed the lastest and perhaps the best interchangable phase detect camera today, but, by tomorrow, nikon or canon, or pentax, or olympus, and who knows, samsung might come out with something crazier?

A77 will be consist of 2 type of buyer... the one who NEED it... and the one who GREED you. which are you?

as for the LENS, i advise grab a zoom, for flexibility, i dont know your background, but lets assume this, you may not be "familiar" with a prime, and definately will come back another day asking bout another diff reach lens... eg tele?
get a zoom for the basic cover,  later on when u felt like going serious or really NEED a crazy expensive lens, and has extra coins left over in the bank, yes, why not, lets help the economy

Lol, I scared I go inside, I'll be in debt with Bank till I die
Studio Zaloon, Creative and few more does carry A55. Try finding em or better, search the garage sales and do a price check 1st b4 buying. I was offered 23xx for the kit, last time XP
But he always belanja me teh tarik when i go, so the service justified the price? XD

Regardless, I go there 2 scout for products only

jimlim007: Seriouly, what is your main concern about the camera?

Perfect camera? Don't exist. But you can buy every camera in the market with your 6 digit loan so you will not miss out on all the features.
