Type of photography u want to do : Scenery, Indoor, Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : Sony A-200
Any specific features u want? : IS, Auto Focus, Low noise in high ISO, wide angle

Had a Canon 850 IS, love its wide angle and auto focus. Lost it while traveling. Now thinking to upgrade to DSLR but have no idea on the settings and such as I only used Auto and Preset Scenes to take pictures. As I'm posting this, I'm reading on how to properly use DSLR.

BTW, any International Warranty for A200?

Shall I buy the A200 with 1 lens or 2 lens then?
*
Simple question. Regardless compact or DSLR.
Do you like to take pictures? If yes, then its just a matter of time for you to buy DSLR.

My advise is to get single lens at the cheapest street price you could get and buy the 2nd lens based on your preference (type of photo you like to shoot). Carl Zeiss lens suit your need (hehe..... start poisoning).

I oredi did that the day I bought it. How come it still shows only 1 year warranty in "My Product List" in MySony?

Didn't realize this happened to me too. Anyone has called their customer careline to clarify this matter?

yeah, did that with the AEL button, but when i meter the sky, i lost details of the ground and vice-versa. Does CPL help in creating balance between the two?

CPL? What is that?

recompose usually will cause slightly out of focus result compare to utilizing the right AF point. this will be much more obvious if you have a shallow DOF
*
Is that the M mode that create 3 same images with slightly different coloring?

Tamron does not have 50mm prime, but they do have 90mm f2.8 macro (SAMPLES)
Sigma has 50mm f2.8 macro (SAMPLES)

Both do not have cheap primes.
*
Are those suitable for portrait shot? Like those Sony 50mm f1.4?

You use 16:9 (wide) for the shoot (referring pics "My lovely sweetheart - 4 & 5")?
Looks quite long to me, or you cropped it?

Bugger me. I just bought the hotshoe cover for my A200. U know how blardy expensive that lil piece of plastic is? rm33!!!!!!!!!!  Even the lens caps are selling at rm15 only. Daylight robbery man. No choice though coz I like it so much n no other shop has it.

Expensive? Sony Style sell it at RM 50 man !!!!!

QUOTE(eagle.ng @ Feb 13 2008, 11:41 PM)
I'm now comparing price between A200 vs Canon 400D.
I'm know that A200 have very cheap price comparing with 400D.
How about comparing with other accesory parts? like flash? Potraid 50mm f/1.8?
or where can I get those price comparing?
Thanks.   smile.gif
*
Flash? Canon Speedlite 580EX cost you RM 1580 and Sony 56AM flash around RM 1300.
Prime lens comparison? As mentioned by soulfly there is no F/1.8 lens for Sony, closest is Minolta F/1.7 used lens around RM 4xx (but hey, that comes with Super Steady Shot, unlikely Canon F/1.8 which has no IS on that).
