signither!!!! dun poison me!!!!!

I sell to you RM3500 you want?

I call this a good portrait! SIX wireless flashes man! what do you expect? Underexposed? No way....

Probably the Sigma 24-70 will give you better edge as a portrait lens, compared to the SAL20F2.8...

I don't think this lens is worth getting at the new lens' price, since quite frequent I can see fellow alpha users sell off this lens 2nd hand at RM500 or less...

craziqbal, Its an additional 4 megapixels, not 2...

Anyway, to ember, who asked this question:

so is the 4 megapixels difference worth RM500? I don't know... it depends on what you do with the photo actually. If you just want to shoot for hobby and do not require very fine details, then the A300 will do fine. If you do need a lot of details (like heavy cropping, or very detailed landscapes), then the A350 is for you.

the SAL55200 is better in terms of image quality compared to the SAL75300. That much I can tell you. Besides, it is smaller and more compact that the SAL75300. So the question is, do you want longer reach (at the expense of image quality) or better image quality (at the expense of reach). I would go with the latter, if the choice was mine to make.

ieR, another option for you is to buy the A300 single lens kit and scout around for a 2nd hand SAL75300....

ieR, general consensus is that the SAL55200 is really worth it, compared to the SAL75300. Let me see.. the last time I remembered, the SAL55200 2nd hand price is around RM550, while the SAL75300 2nd hand price is RM450... so I think you can deduce from the 2nd hand value, which one of these 2 lenses are more sought after....

gabriellai, that is caused by flare.

Nice one! I did the same as well. Only thing is that I bought a different container than what you got. I bought the type of rubber seal along the edges of the container so as to prevent as much moisture from entering the container as possible. This helps to make the "thirsty hippo" clone (I got it from Giant @ RM3.90 for three!) lasts longer too!

mintak kirim kawan kita kat singapore tu.....

kawan MSJ kita tu..... Henry. Dia kat Singapore tu.....

saya mintak diaorang bagi masuk banyak-banyak A350 + A300 punya LCD protector (same model mah...) but looks like dah habis dah ni.... or maybe Sony Malaysia tak bagi diaorang....

UWA! SAL1118 or Sigma 10-20mm!!!!

Nonsense! All the new A200 sets sold in Malaysia are authentic Sony Malaysia set, as far as I know. You can always check the package if they have the Sony Malaysia warranty card included or not. I think it is just marketing gimmick to tell you that those are AP set. There are no known shops in Malaysia selling so called AP sets of Sony Alpha cameras because the imported AP set would be more expensive than the Sony Malaysia set!

Welcome to the alpha family! And you are in KK! Can come out minum-minum once in a while and get poisoned!

PM me for details of the alpha workshop (assuming you didn't know about it yet.... )
