That call canon mah. I using Canon 5D at office i super lazy to select AF point bcos super mafan.

hi guys! i just got out from "ulu" where there is no phoneline... 6 hours drive into the jungle, providing medical service to the local tribes people. really tiring, sadly, didnt have much photo to share, because the people even in ulu, has been aid by people, so they dont have much "tradition" left, all wearing "shirts and pants" donate/aid by people. but i did get something i wanted for sometime... later tonight post it up.

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

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.

fansoption: Wow, that is pretty close! +1 for wide-angle close-range lenses.

He does have a point. I don't think he is talking about you, but a lot of photographers!

Why do we take pictures of flowers and door padlocks? No purpose other than to look nice. You have the power to affect somebody and change the world with your picture. Like say you go to the Petknode shop and take pictures of the cats. Or you see a somebody taking a bribe. Or you see a foreigner with an IC.

Your picture can be proof. Your picture can promote. Your picture can cause somebody to be very happy or very sad. But are we doing that with our pictures? We can, if we want to.

albnok Haha.

*take a selipar and whack william*

*elaks selipar*

Wat iso u were using for tat shot ier?

Iso6400

nice dweey! can teach me how to paint them! Got mine also but don't know what to do! Did u get the CEx

if im not mistaken there is a button beside AF-ON button at the back of the camera, just press it, then you can select your points. It is much faster to access than a550.

Haha. My one never paint it. I just shoot then using photoshop to montage my design in dweey! just a artist impression only

isnt that button annoying? i find it 'slow' when u wan to change af points.... no wonder all my canon friend Love Recomposition so much, later blame the lens not good if not sharp (50F1.4) then they say me using 50F1.4 with selective af point (just pressing the Dpad) picture turn out too sharp and too accurate...

this problem happens to A55 too, sadly, that we require to press the mid button to select af point i hope A65 doesnt has this... since it has more button then A55/33/35...

Added on September 19, 2011, 12:55 pm? A550? typo? i tot just press Dpad, u straight select your AF points? i know this issue same as A55/33/35, where u need to press a button to access the point selection menu, AFAIK, the center button of Dpad is much easier and faster to press then the canon button.

great work on photoshop! I took pictures of the custom paint Dweey & CEx by artist by Bangkok and Malaysia during MITF. Here is one of them! :

Yeah very annoying. That's why I just select centre AF point and recompose Some pics not sharp also. But the 450D also not that ma fan leh. Just need to press one button and scroll around the points can d. Dunno le need ask canon 60D user.

A55 no choice la the body so small.. A300 at least still got a few dedicated buttons...
