not surprised. because the SEL18105G is not kit lens for A6000, thus only body entitled extended warranty. however, there got special promotion for bundled package for SEL18105G G lenses, too. imagine, A6000 (RM2399) + SEL18105G (RM1999), total RM4398 RRP; during sony fair, promo around RM3800 with damn a lot of freebies, with additional charger, why not? about same as u purchase the A6000 with kit lens + prime lens
well, for me, extra battery isn't value much at all. for new user, if u have 2 unit or even more batteries, but u only can charge battery via USB either connecting camera with power cord or computer, u had to charge and charge the battery without using the camera. just example, when u travelling, u realized of 1 of battery had exhausted, and that time u need taking photographs, not possible leave the camera for charging the battery inside hotel without take it out for taking photo, as there another additional battery still capable for take photographs, right?

If only you posted this earlier before my purchase, i would have gone for it. Your friend's package of RM3800 is damn good deal especially it has the free external battery charger. How much does that cost?

I agree with you extra battery has no value if one does not have the external battery charger, having to connect cable to camera to charge camera is just plain stupid.

Selamat Hari Raya and Happy Holiday to all!

Last night on Raya eve went to Jalan TAR for night street photography. First time doing it and it was challenging, feel free to comments All using A6000 and SEL18105G except last one using SEL1018

the external charger cost RM189

Hi guys, it's been awhile since i visit this thread. Haha.

Just wanna ask, for mix cinematography + photography. Which one do you guys recommend getting? A77 or A7?

A7S its lowlight for video gonna amaze you.

if only two option above. I might prefer a77.. I really miss that IS when recording video (unless using stabilizer rig)

Correct me if I'm wrong, A7S is not yet available in our shore right?

I'm still using my old A700

not really sure, but I did see Zaloon Instagram showing Cst production and some foreigner getting the a7s

C&C welcome.

depend that you need a FF or APS-C will do. a mirrorless or A mount.

since you are using A700, u should have a couple of A lens, so stick with a77 II
or if u plan to have a compact standby video ready camera, actually the A6000 fits your pocket and doesnt make a hole($) in da pocket too.

Bought a Sony external battery charger from vincentlee90 for RM150. Now my extra free battery given from the Sony fair would be more useful.

Being a novice in photography, I am not sure if I should invest more and buy the SEL1670Z zeiss lens that is on sale now for RM 2600 or should i wait later when I have improved on my skills. Guys, say 1 year from now, is the price of that lens likely to be cheaper? Like electronic gadgets, note 3 price next year will be cheaper than this year?

Lenses are very diff, they have shelf-life of 5years min, up to 15years.

unlike camera body or phones, which has 1 year, after a year u can see a 10% off the RRP. lens dont. infact, lens price goes up 3-5% every 2 years. and with malaysia 6% GST coming next year.... i highly doubt it will be cheaper then now...

lenses price will never drop, unless it will being replaced by newer, better lenses. yet this kind of scenario very rare, especially pro grade lenses

i strongly suggest u go to get the SEL1670Z before end of this month. seriously. damn nice price. after end of this month, back to normal price, not worth without rebate. RM3299 kinda expensive for new user

Over price filter, shops earn the most from accessories. Usually I dont buy accessories from them, instead I get it from lowyat seller.

I think there is no international recognition on this brand, its a local company doing repackage on the filter. Lets wait for more comment.

Interesting. Anywhere to get the square filters and the clip-holders for landscape purpose?
