Must be my mistake then. But the adapter does come with the kits bought during presale

If the background is totally blurred out, that's not an example of good bokeh, that's just an example of blurring out. Good bokeh lenses will make less blur objects look 2D and not distracting while keeping the object 3D. That's the real challenge there.

If you really want to know what good bokeh is, this link will tell you.

mindkiller6610: Sadly, the E-330 is discontinued. The viewfinder was more dim though.

I'm guessing, the CF to MS adapter only comes with the A200 with presales, because it comes with a 2 GB Memory Stick. Otherwise how are you gonna put the 2GB MS in the A200's CF slot?

Anyway, a 4GB CF is real cheap now.

Agree with albert on bokeh definition, to blur out is easy, use high zoom and big aperture can make the background into pain color.

But to standout the subject from the background and to make sure the background not distarcting is very challenging.

If only blur out, any place, any background will not be important. Then no need to choose a place or scene to shoot portrait. But to have a good standout, it will make your pic looked very smooth, comfortable and you can know actually where the pic was taken.

This bokeh nice or not?

Can any1 explain to me of d usage of UV filter?

I dont hv a filter for my kit lens for d moment... i suppose we need to protect our lens with UV filter from scratches n other harm?

How about polarizer filter... can make photos looks more colourful n higher contrast? can I use polarizer filteras Uv filter?

Mind sharing how approximately is this 2 filters for a 55mm kit lens?

Cheap UV filter will degrade the optics performance.

UV filter actually cuts down some UV rays (not all). Enhanced coating will help reduce glare and such. Other than that it's more about protecting the glass.

I don't use any though...unless I'm shooting paintball game...lol.

Very often I heard that UV filter creates glares because it creates another layer of glass in front of the lens.

That's pretty common in 50mm f1.8. Sometimes I'll need to remove it and resnap to get rid of the glare.

that's what cheap filters normally do

sony center said twin kit lenses not arrive yet..

Which center you're referring? Whole Malaysia?

the alpha a200 twin lenses kit estimated will be arrived on within coming week

So many people waiting for A200? haha.... SONY success this time!

If Canon can bundle IS lens with 400D @ RM 2499, there will be boost on the sales too.

at RM2499 ..... you can already have a200 with twin lens kit, 18-70mm (nice bokeh!) and 75-300mm... and both are IS-ed by natural

i seriously don't think canon will lower their price...same thing with nikon...they r already mkt leaders in dslr....sony's case is different....I think A200 is for new users who upgrade from pns...and so far judging from their pns sales...they probably found out that the number is quite substantial....otherwise it simply makes no sense why A200 is so much cheaper than A100..

Hmm, when i ordered they said it does come with the adapter, i also wrote it down on my receipt.
Now, when's mine coming....
