A 133x works fine with the 3 FPS of the A100/A200. Heck it's fine with the A700, but after a huge burst of shots you will wait for it to write pictures to the card.
133x is equals to how much of read/write speed?

sandisk extreme 3 is 20/20. Kingston Elite Pro is 20/25. Both are about the same price.
Thanks!

Guys I have the voucher (inside the box when I bought alpha 200 last saturday) but I dont intend to use it? Dateline end of next month....been thinking maybe I buy a bag or flash, the rest I want to trade or give it free if anybody can give me a basic lesson. My 'MYSony' tutorial with John Shum is scheduled on 22nd March only. At the meantime I feel if I can learn before that will be great.

My budget around RM6k.. 1 year saving woo..

Anyway, thanks for all the advise given..  biggrin.gif

big budget u get...
IMHO, if u're are totally new to SLR, i think you should get use to your camera first before jumping into all the lens bandwagon. then, you can add your lens one by one... photography is a long road...

Good choice on Alpha system!!! thumbup.gif

HVL-F36AM RM800, HVL-F56AM RM1200, this might not be the latest price

Red eye happens when u flash ppl. The eyes glow red like cat's eyes at night when u shine light at them. The ppl will look like devils in ur photo. The feature is to take away that effect so teh eyes dont glow red.

If not mistaken, in Red eye Mode, the flash fire a few "pre-flash" to fool the pupil of the eye that it is bright outside, and the pupil close, before the final flash and shutter snap

Today I made myself to go to SonyStyle to test some lens. The first one I try was the SAL1118... it's wide and sharp. I think sharper than the kit lens at 18mm. I don't see distortion at its widest end. Very nice.

Then I tried the 135mm STF, smooth creamy sweet milky buttery bokeh brows.gif

Look at the background, it blurs out nicely instead of smearing in circular or heptagonal shapes like most lens do. And...it's heavy...lol. This is definitely the bokeh king.
both lens looks promising! drool!!! drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

yes, SSS is Super Steady Shot, Sony's brand name for its in-body-sensor-shift IS. NasiLemakMan asked it bcos turning SSS fulltime or not will affect battery life.
