Why their price so confusing one.
The 32gb extreme pro has 3 prices.
270 (no discount)
239.99 (discounted to 195)
679 (discounted to 194)

I'm suspicious.
I prefer to buy a product COD and get the item + receipt and do a benchmark once I get home.

But that's just me.

mind to share the link??

just order one

need suggestion about uv filter for sel 50mm..

Guys, I am a total noob on photography.  Know nothing bout it, and my recent trip to bali, i took a point and shoot lumix along FT-4 along and found most pictures taken are bad, even my framing is bad.  Was at uluwatu taking pics, then a couple from swiss asked my helped to take pics for them using their dslr (not sure what it is), and they told me to just click as everything is auto.  Wow, the shot viewed from lcd was so good compared to mine.  So I am convinced i need to buy a better cam and more importantly learn how to shoot.

Walked into sony store as it has promotion now, and was attracted to the a6000.  Price with kit lens now is 2699.  Was thinking if i should buy the package with SEL50F18 where it's RM 3200.  I understand that is a prime lens right, without zoom.  Should be easier for a novice like me, one less function bout camera for me to worry about.   This camera will likely be use for travelling, taking pictures of ppl + scenery in it.  Do let me know what lens combo will suit me most.

Also is sony centre running the best promo or outside standalone camera shop has better offer?

I just bought my A6000 from the sony fair at lowyat.  Bought it at one shop at the ground floor, I think it's fotokem. 

Got myself the A6000 with kit lens + sony 16GB class 10 memory card.  Free items from fotokem include the small blue camera pouch, a camera cleaner kit, and lcd screen protector for a total cost of RM 2400.

From the fair, Sony malaysia gave me one extra battery, another pouch, but it's actually meant for handycam, so not suitable for A6000 (where i think the pouch is useless), and a body case for A6000 which I have yet to collect as they have run out of stock today.  Also, sony malaysia upgraded the warranty for my camera with kit lens to 3 years warranty.  That is the fair promotion.

Also, I bought a prime lens SEL35F18 for RM 1k.  But this has the normal Sony 1 year 3 months warranty.

I think I got a pretty good deal for this.  However, the sales person sweet talk me into buying lens filter.  I bought two lens filter, one for the kit lens SELP1650 and one for the SEL35F18.  Each lens filter cost RM100.  So total RM200 for the lens filter from this brand Steinzeiser (DMC UV 40.5mm and DMC UV 49mm).  Have I overpaid for the lens filter?

Once back home, now I am charging up the battery.  2 complaints:

1.  Why do I charge battery by connecting the cables to the camera?  Panasonic has an external battery charger where I just stick my battery to the module.

2.  How do I know when the battery is fully charged?  I see a yellow light at the side of the camera body.  It's been 4 hours since I charged and it's still yellow.  Does it take so long to charge or only the first time?

The fair doesn't give 3 years warranty for both body and lens?  I was told by the fair person it gives 3 years warranty for both, but I wasn't sure to believe her or not.  When I heard free warranty 1+2 years, I almost felt like buying A6000 + SEL1670Z but decided i should not spend that much.  The idea of additional warranty for the expensive lens seems worth it.

I agree, the FOC pouch seems like a token, totally no use at all.  The fair value is in the extra battery, the body case and the extra 2 years warranty.

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.

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?

waiting for Zeiss Touit 50mm F2.8 Macro Lens. my ideal lens for portrait and macro photography

sorry it was the F20AM, the price should be same... i brought it when F20AM just came out... thats like nearly 4 years ago. since i got adapter from the A99, so i still use it with the adapter.

F20s is for the 'smart terminal' from Nex3/5 series. the A3000 and A6000 uses the new MIiso. (multimedia interface iso)
F20s for the Nex3/5 series
F20AM for the old Alpha hotshoe, (A100/200/300/700/900, A33/35/55/57/65/77)
F20M is for all the lastest model. finally unify as one hotshoe between A and E mount. (camera that comes after Nex6, Axxxx series and A99)

I used to buy from Fotokem when I was in my early days of photography many years back. But when I started moving on to more expensive gear, I found Fotokem too expensive.

Eventually I went with YLCamera in Pudu and Boeing Photo in Sungei Wang. And even then, after YLCamera started to expand, their prices became less competitive and now I get almost all my gear from Boeing Photo. You can try them. But not sure whether they give very good prices to new clients or whether Fotokem have become competitive again since my last visit 4 to 5 years ago.

True.

I guess at the end of the day, it is which shop that made you return and become a regular customer. I guess every shop will almost definitely give special price to their regulars.

Probably will end up diff shops for diff people. But I guess competition is quite high now.

TQ sifus for all the input.

If I had to choose 1 lens right now, 35mm it is.

But, uraki's reply sounds interesting.
Need to study Sigma pulak.

Thank you again sifus..

http://www.sony.com.my/microsite/AlphaSupe...hasuperworkshop

Does anyone joining the Sony Alpha Super Workshop next week??
http://www.sony.com.my/microsite/AlphaSuperWorkshop/

Eh, you guys did not register for the alpha super workshop?
Someone from Sony called me this morning for confirmation of attendance.

Sony fb page mentioned it is free and the person called me did not ask for payment so I'm pretty sure the workshop is FOC.

Danny Bong (in charge of workshop) confirmed that the whole workshop is free (workshop and accomodation) forgot to ask about the food thou  .

as a reminder, bring your Camera(batt and charger), Lenses, Flash(flash workshop), and Tripod (for night shooting).

Thanks for the suggestions  , for now i think B+W really caught my attention. will so some hunting this week for the best deal, cause they tend to jack up the price really high for filters
