QUOTE(vcxv @ Dec 11 2008, 06:40 PM) i dont think the a200 and a300 in totally different league. the specs are about the same. can elaborate more on the view finder/view mode? i dun get it...the main differences i can think of is live view and viewfinder. if u come from pns and think live view is necessary for u, thank a300 is the way to go. plus the tilting live view and quick af separates a300/350 live view from other brand. the second one is the optical viewfinder. a200 OVF if significantly larger than a300 since they dont need to cramp live view in it. so if u think u can live without live, a200 is better value for money. at around 1450 with single kit lens, u can also add up another 700 for f42 flash. i chose a300 since the live view mode is quite handy. u probably dont need to use it as much as the pns, but if you need it, it will be there  and 1000d has cmos shutter...a200 has ccd shutter...i heard cmos better than ccd?

QUOTE(Ahmike @ Dec 13 2008, 12:37 AM) When you need it you might WISH you had it....you can't predict when each scenario will need a live view. It just a tool. yea...wht u said is right...but i think bending over to get a good shooting angle makes u look pro... In a tool box you don't have to always use a hammer.... right ? ...ahh..juz to convince myself or wut? |

QUOTE(5564321 @ Dec 13 2008, 12:39 AM) Well, to reduce your worries then just go for A300 with live view...just now I took moon pictures I had to bend my body down while using tripod just to capture the moon using the viewfinder... u mean using the optical view finder (OVF)?Moon in Damansara@PJ  1/200, f11, iso100, 70mm...so blur and too dark thus pp-ed image... |

QUOTE(5564321 @ Dec 13 2008, 12:44 AM) Well, yes...A200 only got viewfinder to take photos...depends la, actually I don't really need to bend just now because using 1/200 shutter speed and bare handheld shall be enough. Just grab A300 for your piece of mind ah yea..the word from my heart.. |
