the class 10 or whatever is for video
the mbp/s rating is for still photos

i read somewhere that you can buy the 45mbp/s extreme 32gb for rm130 at Low Yat plaza. Genuine card or not I dont know. Try going to the big stores.

anyway i just bought one sandisk 45mpb/s extreme for my RX100. I compare with an older Transcend class 6 card and there is no difference at all. Even compared with a 4gb Eye-Fi (i think this is a slow card) and no difference as well  doh.gif
just get the 45mbp/s ones will do since they are not so expensive. less than Rm150 for a 32gb card
*
I used to use the stock class 4 card that comes with my 5N and now using a class 10, there is a significant difference in time used when deleting photos and saving photos. Deleting each photo now is quicker by a few seconds. And if you do burst shot, video shooting, long shutter speed HDR shots, the camera processing blackout period after the shots are significantly shorter.

I'm tempted to get the Sigma 30mm f2.8 for NEX, but not sure whether to get 19mm or 30mm, any advise?

If you are expecting creamy bokeh for your head and shoulder portrait, all I can say is to avoid sigma 30mm 2.8 but as a walkaround lens it's sharp and worth the money.Great for street type of photography.

Furthermore for portrait angle you need to close in a lot like one step away from subject.It's more of half or full body portrait.Mindful minimum focus distance is about 12 inch.

For that, I've decided to wait for the SEL35F18 tongue.gif

i love 5r, but they don't want to give me price that i want.

hmm... im curious, there is a default 90+ mb for installing apps in our NEX6, is that the default size built in to camera or is it saved in the memory card? Can we increase that allocated memory for more apps next time?

Nex-6 aplication "Picture Effect+", then select Illustration.    thumbup.gif  I love it!!  ...  and now u know why the others here are grouping together to purchase more cool Apps!!

However, do note that the original, unedited pic will not be available and the camera will take maybe 3 seconds to produce the results.  Personally i feel that not every subject is ideal for this effect , so..some discretion would be good.  Eg. Christmas trees just look like melted chocolate which to me is not appealing at all.

Is there a way we could take an original picture, then only apply the effect?

Sony Singapore has been selling for quite a while. But just last week, i went sony centre here, was told that they have not even seen the entry in their warehouse, so not sure when it will arrive.

Is studio zaloon carrying grey import or malaysia warranty?

Any idea how much it's sold in singapore? When i went to singapore to ask 2 weeks ago they say don't have.

hi romulus, i have tried the front curtain shutter. there is no difference to the 'clicking' sound whether it's turned on or off. It's still loud..

This make me wonder if NEX-5R is not suitable for taking photos at a quiet occasion like during seminar/talk, or taking sleeping baby photos because of the loud shutter button sound.. The sounds do make me feel as if i'm a professional photographer (lol) but there are certain situations especially during talk when audiences are focusing on the speaker, I snap their pictures from the back, audiences turn around and look at me (they lose concentration because of me  cry.gif )
*
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think there is no way you can turn off that sound because that is the sound of the shutter physically shutting and opening when you take the picture, not the sound of the click of a button.

guys 5N now introduce kit with lens... any user here using the flash on the system will it produce shadow when i snap it with 18-55mm kit lens?
*
Shadow or not will depend on shooting placement and environment, but like most if not all built in flash, light will be harsh on human or object close up if not diffused or bounced.

erm.. i mean this actually

since the lens is long and the flash is low.. if not bounce will the flash giving me the shadow of the lens?

oic, paiseh paiseh... misunderstood. haha...

i previously used 5N also, but if not mistaken, without lens hood and not zooming in wont have shadow, if lens hood is on then there will be shadow.

not too bad when mounted to NEX-6, the black colour matches the black body of NEX-6 than the other regular silver lenses.

Nice bokeh  icon_idea.gif sharp thumbup.gif

just i need a wider lens for portrait shoots....
this 50mm is to close for some confined space.. sad.gif

sel24cz or sel35.... smile.gif
*
I also find 50mm on the apsc sensor too close, alot of times need to stand quite far when using my 50mm manual lense, perhaps more suitable for FF. Hence my purchase of the SEL35F18.
