Guys,
ask for the opinion.
I received my A7ii with kit lens.
Now, problem coming... for the 70-200, should I get the FE 70-200/4 or use LA-EA4 pair with my SAL 70-200G?

There is the pro and con between E-mount & A mount

E-mount:
Pro:
- can fully utilize hybrid focusing
- focusing coverage is wide
- Size and weight
- Color (notice that skin tone color is good)

Con:
- Need to buy new (RM4K)
- F4 ?

A mount:
pro:
- F2.8
- Ready with me
- Only need to purchase LA-EA4

Con:
- cannot utilize A7ii hybrid focusing
- LA-EA4 focusing coverage in frame is less, too center.
- Weight & Size
*
depends on u. everything got their respective pro and con. i would choose SEL70200G, as i prefer lighter lens, and F4 is good enough for general purposes smile.gif

Hey guys, do anyone know where in Malaysia can I find the Zeiss Loxia lens to try playing with it? I always go to Sony Stores to test any Sony cameras and lenses, especially the KLCC store, brilliant! But this time, too bad, it's a REAL Zeiss, Sony Stores do not sell them.  doh.gif

Thank you!  notworthy.gif

Zaloon & YL might get loxia, probably

Thanks for the lengthy feedback, I appreciate your sharing. Guess, I will avoid buying from Japan then. We own a Sony Nex 6, was wondering if there is anything good to buy while in Japan. Do you think I should grab a E-mount Carl Zeiss lens? I currently have the 16-50mm kit lens only. Tested my friend's SEL24F18Z, it was very nice. Much crispier than our kit lens.
So no camera but what about must-have accessories for a Nex 6? Or lenses? Any recommendation for a good travelling lens? We are using 16-50 kit now.

if u have more budget, i'm recommend SEL1670Z, which would produce marvelous IQ picture biggrin.gif

Exceeded budget. By the way, can the SEL1670Z be used with A7II (in case we upgrade?)?
*
A7II is full frame, and SEL1670Z is APS-C lenses, thus when SEL1670Z is attached to A7II, u need to use APS-C mode which available in A7II in order to utilize the lens' performance

hi guys, want to get some of ur opinion
im looking for a camera, always love sony nex, but got no money to buy last time
i saw 1 shop sell a6000 for rm2150 with 2 batteries, 2 16gb memory and a bag
is it a good deal? or should wait for upcoming model?

im planning to buy a camera as part of the wedding gifts for wedding around sept this year..
shud i wait or buy now?
scared everyhing will become more expensive after this, with gst etcetc  sweat.gif
*
about extra battery, u should get external charger as well. thus u can charge 2 battery with camera and external charger at the same time (although i would recommend u to charge battery with external charger)

'they put something like these...

* Promotion is valid from 8th Jan - 22nd Feb 2015. While stocks last.
** Original price for ILCE-7R is RM6999, price after rebate RM700 is RM6299.

as i know, the market price for this new unit a7r about 5xxx, and not 6299...  hmm.gif promotion  doh.gif
*
the price RM6299 is SRP after rebate. the RM5XXX from outside is lowest they can offer. of course, ended up, u had to pay extra 3-5% when done payment with credit card. what's more, normal shop has no extend warranty

if i remember correctly the 3yrs extended warranty about 400-500; and that still be ~300-400 cheaper than this offer (6299). also this promotion which is only cover 1 yrs extended warranty. Smart marketing  tongue.gif better to call in as a trade off instead of promotion. anyway, street shop is good for cash buyer and sony retail is good for 0% installment, fair enough  smile.gif
*
my friend bought A7S couple of months ago. according to sales representative, extend 1 year add RM280, meanwhile extend 2 years RM400

btw, those who purchase at sony store is rest assured all purchased product is genuine sony malaysia unit. if display unit they will inform consumer upfront, instead of some shop, whom hide the truth and deceive shoppers of "they're new unit"

ya, i understand your point buying at street shop. always have to ask them take a set that never open (completely sealed); they can give whatever reason it is, but the is up to us to get what we want.  if A no good, go B, if B no good , go C and so on. Still have many shoppers looking for business, just matter of small or big margin they earn  smile.gif

From the past i wish to buy from sony retail, but their prices just turn me down  sad.gif but weird i saw sometime US/Aus sony retail did very attractive promotion with included adapter for very very attractive prices. never could happen at here haha

probably because malaysia custom tax quite high...

TBH, nowadays mirrorless is just that... mirror-less. AF speed is the primary loser when it comes to losing the mirror (SLTs have mirrors too), but we're quickly catching up with on-sensor phase detect sites.

Also, being all small and crap, more things are being crammed into a smaller space and we're seeing exactly the same issue we get from stuffing performance PC parts into the small footprint of a lappy: Heat.

Finally, also because manufactures want to keep mirrorless cams "small", we're suffering on the battery life side due to the limited space available for batteries. Or for that matter, other niceties like multiple memory slots or more buttons and dials.

Otherwise, mirrorless cams are just as good as SLRs at this point IMHO.
*
everything got pros and cons. when we choose mirrorless camera, we need to bear the battery life issues. same goes to when we choose DSLR, we had to adopt the heavy weight and large size of DSLR
