Go ask Studio Zaloon Chin. He quoted quite a good price, I'm budgeting up $$ before going for that

fuh bro, you are really really fast!!!

Don't use a filter, best solution. Why use filters? If it's for protection just use the supplied camera hood. That is good enough. It is funny that we spend so much $$ on camera+lens then go put a cheapo filter in front which might spoil the quality of the light going into the lens/sensor. If you must use a filter, then use a real original one - there are many fakes out there. you can find hoya 49mm filters for about RM30 via ebay, but whether they are real or not, don't know Don't spoil the incoming light, just don't use a filter

SELP1650 don't have hood????

aah... i see. anyway, here's a good link about using filters:

Daiso store has quite a number of screen protectors in various sizes. Each RM5 only

You can measure and cut slightly, I bought one recently. Slightly matte so it does blur the screen a bit.

Hi all, may I ask NEX users here, anyone using SANDISK ULTRA Class 10 SD card here? This is the one labeled 30MB/s on the SD. Using this, in speed priority continuous drive mode, how many shots can you take before it starts to slow down/buffer? Setting: 4M, 3.2, STD quality. I'm using a class 6 and can get only about 5 shots before it slows down so wondering if it's just the buffer/interface or the speed of the SD...

Thanks!

Ok thanks... this is just normal class 10 right? What about Sandisk Ultra? That's supposed to be faster than class 10 in terms of write speed... anyone using this with their NEX?

I just figured out that I need to turn off lens correction, then I can easily get a burst of 10 shots even with class 6 in 16MP JPG, but in RAW+JPG only about 5 shots.

thanks!! what SD are you using exactly? can you also help measure the speed using crystaldiskmark in a windows notebook/pc with a card reader?

oh memory stick will beat any SD flat based on what i read... read somewhere it's due to the interface bus, wider on the ms compared to sd.

i just did a quick check on my class 6 SD, and this is the result. just wondering if using class 10 or sandisk ultra will allow longer continuous shots before it takes too long to clear the buffer to card.

Is there a noticeable difference using Extreme 45MB/s? If you take continuous shots, how many shots can you get before it slows down?

Ultra 30MB/s is about RM115, Extreme is about RM150 I think? Groupon sale price is no difference from what you can get from shops in lowyat, don't be easily fooled by the claims of high discount.

Video part is not true actually, the highest bitrate for NEX 5N/5R/6 is 28Mbps (this is 28 MegaBITS per sec) while the minimum write speed of a Class 4 SD card is already 4MB/s or 32Mbps (8 bits = 1 byte), which is well above the minimum required speed. That's why in the manual it is stated min is class 4. Most SD class 4 cards will give you higher than minimum, I had a class 4 sandisk before, benchmarked it and it was writing at 7MB/s or 56Mbps, more than double the requirement for 1080p 28M.

So for video, anything above class 4 is overkill.

But for photos, especially burst mode (10fps ) then lain cerita, cause how fast you can write to the SD card will determine how fast you can shoot continuously (assuming in camera buffer can tahan). And also of course higher SD card speed means you can copy to laptop/pc faster.. but I think that's not very important.

Sandisk extreme 32GB is only selling for RM96 after conversion at Amazon


Updated note:hmm ok it looks like doesn't matter what card we use, it's 10fps then 2fps after that....

Very very nice! Are these jpg straight from camera or processed?

seoul? very nice composition!

what are the settings on this photo? A mode? ISO/shutter speed/handheld or tripod?

wow, you guys photos really really fantastic. i've got a LOT to learn...

hi all, anyone here using their NEX to record 1080p 50p 28Mbps video? Is the playback choppy? I thought maybe it was SD card speed (can't be cause 28Mbps is only 3.5MB/s which is well below even class 4 speed) - so I got a Sandisk Extreme 45MB/s read/write card (confirmed on PC, getting 40MB/s write speeds) but still the video is choppy.

Anyone else facing same problem?

Did a bit more test and noticed video playback on NEX is not that bad, so tried MS Media Player instead and it works fine!!!! So on my laptop, VLC is NOT ok (already skip h264 filter) but media player is fine. Weird.

me too..... incl shipping below USD200. If combined 4 units, shipping still around USD52 means per unit RM500 after conversion.... how much is this selling here??

update: this lens is selling RM800+ here? man this is really bad poison.....

between sigma 30mm and sel50f18 which one better value?
