yeah, I do read some of ur post. hope u come out with more good pics with dSLR

any reason kelvinyam does not get twin lens? its a better deal I believe...

wow, talking about pro.. how much is that then?

Yes it is. Read more review and forum. They do make a discussion on it. You ramp ISO all the way to 1600 and shoot outdoor. U'll get less noise. Maybe
short exposure reduce to noise.... in dark area, high ISO, couple with longer exposure of course its noisier..

since kelvinyam decided to switch camp to orange one, you should too? since both of u are from S3...

didn't know xcalibur who just bought A200 twin kit lens is 45 years old

I just have some reservation about the viewfinder. Already newbie dSLR viewfinder is small. I wonder
how bad is the viewfinder?

Added on February 12, 2008, 4:25 pmkelvinyam talk about back focussing with A200. I wonder how bad is that. Pentax once have this issue. Its solve with sending back to customer service and then recalibrate only. Hope not a big issue. Else, this will dent a200 sale.

entry level dSLR viewfinder is always small no matter what brand.

But A350/A300 viewfinder will be smaller because of the lifeview implementation
using tilt mirror to second sensor. Hopefully its not noticeable difference because
normally pro shoot with viewfinder although I'm not a pro

Your camera:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0705/07050703canons5is.asp

Lens
. 36 - 432 mm equiv

Sony A200
. Kit inc. 18-70 mm F3.5 - F5.6 lens (DSLR-A200K): $700
. Kit as DSLR-A200K plus 75-300 mm F4.5 - F5.6 lens (DSLR-A200W): $900
FOV crop 1.5x

Sony has 2 lens:
18-70 multiply 1.5 = 27-105mm
75-300 multiply 1.5 = 112-450mm

That means, it is easier to peep with Sony A200 but not by a lot.
And plus, its 27mm which means, you can put more people in your photo.
Furthermore, dSLR usable indoor.

No one can enlighten you because no one touch A300/A350 before. Less coverage of course affect
shooting experience. That's why pro dSLR have almost full coverage.

The choice is yours. For me, LifeView is added bonus.

Some bank have 0% instalment with certain shop. You can ask the shop for any instalment available.

I should get commission also since I kena shoot kaw kaw...

Dunno. You have to call up or ask. Phone number you can use google to google it up if u got the shop name.

Maybe kelvinyam or any recent people who just bought can tell u. If use 0%, maybe its more expensive because using credit card mah. Sure charge u 3% or something like that.

Seems like Sony A700 have a lot of enthusiasm:
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat...thread=26742857

I wonder if A700 is better than 40D. Coz someone in dpreview change from 40D to A700. But according to him, ISO 3200 still better with 40D.

Err, not making sense. Why not upgrade lens or other acc? You don't need 2 beginner dSLR body lar....

Maybe u should give me some...

Talk to you at where?

Yes, this is perfect for beginners because of the price. You get zoom all the way from 18 to 300 (eq 27-450)

You can use zoom lens to do portrait.

No such thing. The price of getting dSLR is like getting prosumer PnS. You mean, after you get S5IS, you cannot change to
other brand? Or after getting G9 you can't change to other brand? And you never know you'll upgrade. A lot of people in
this forum talk about upgrade. There's possibility you'll never upgrade at all. Even you get 400D, when you upgrade, you
still have to buy new lens and new body because kitlens is always not for upgrader. So its the same. With A200, you get
to learn a lot of photography until you're mature to upgrade. Also, you get IS body so, your picture will come out better than
other brand without using tripod indoor.

And Minolta does not stop. The legacy continues and improved with Sony.

By the way, I also stay in Penang. Yesterday I tried 800 ISO with my PnS. It is really suck...LOL..

Added on February 14, 2008, 10:23 amUnless of course you're like me. Not an upgrader. Feel like going straight to prosumer dSLR like Canon 40D. Upgrade is always wasting money no matter what brand you chose.

I have issue with people buying F1.8 for 50mm. Its a prime lens. If its a prime lens, I want it to be fast.
F1.8 just does not do it for me. 50mm F1.4 is a must if you really going for prime lens.
