guys just asking some opinion,

what other option I can do when I was trying to take waterfalls picture...
the problem was the situation was tooo bright,

where in Aperture mode I put my F number to the max value, which is 22 or 36, and ISO 100
my shutter speed still end up faster then 1/60 (which kinda too fast for me for taking water flows picture)

so even if In shutter mode if I set to 1/5 or 1/20 sec , the F number will blink2 at max value and I will end up getting overexposed picture,

well then, whats the solution for those problem?

go for a700!!!
at least it can perform better at dark situation than a200 though hehe...
35mm further wont give much zoom powa to you though.... but 200mm might be different issue

well if you are capturing futsal match which is indoor activity, guess your only option is to buy flash, since indoor lighting not as good as the sun
but as for outdoor footbal, guess you gonna need to pump the ISO higher,

if in shutter priority mode, the cam will automatically adjust the best aperture for you, and mostly cases if you set shutter speed too fast or faster, confirm it will give you the minimum F number as possible

better ask yourself first, do you have any urge for telephoto much?
if not go for 50f1.4 haha...so that you can have some feel of fast prime lense

go for 50 1.4 lerr previous version got article said that it outperformed other brand though... prime len of course produce sharper image I think

dude, the pic looks blurry to me, handheld 4sec??
better use tripod I guess..

btw here some 35-70f4 sample .. but do warn that 35mm kinda tight ya know, even somtime I always regret not bringing my kitlense when these lens attached


maybe you gonna love minolta bokeh I think


Personally I think its sharper than kit lens

waaa you think kit lens can do that close up that much ??

ohhh bulan jugak...
nak join1!

If it was me, I would go for a700 IF you want better ISO performance,control, and better autofocus in the dark if dont like to use flash and dont use live view much.

or else option 3 since the lens wider and longer than kit lens

200mm or more is better
spot meter
usually more - exposure I think
aperture up to you
autofocus at middle is enough

play with manual mode,
try to get more than 1/100 shutter speed since at zoom end telephoto will probably will cause shaky condition when hand held

then either play with shutter speed and aperture to get better exposure
since at 0 exposure, usually a bit overexpose I think, lost some details.

usually if no clouds, the moon would be very bright, you can even snap it hand held. My moon shot mostly able to capture at 1/100 @ F7-9 I think
