didn't realized that filter price went up a lot
last year saw the pro 1D going for around 80-90 for the 55mm diameter
now it's around 130

how about kenko, their product naming seems to follow Hoya

in addition, i found the B+W 010 UV filter selling for about 130 too
any idea how does it stand up to the Hoya Pro 1D?

@uner
if u feel the force is very very very strong...
we always welcomes u here to join the orange legion then.. haha...

yeah... bout that lens option quite true..
until now my fren hasnt bought any new lens..
still with the 18-55mm kittehlens..

a200 twin kit or a300 single lens kit; which one is recommended?

for me i would go for A300 single kit lense....
got Live View mah....except u dowan live view u can jz go for A200.....

if me la...u can get either one...but i dont recommend a200 twin kit...better get single kit lens then get a used 55200 lens...better to 75300... a300 also nice woo...u get LV for the awkward angle shot...loving my a300 every minute....

the live view is not important to me, plus the performance is no difference at all, no?

from feedback I get so far, it is better for me to stay with D60.. hmm but with a200 i can get twin lense wor.. penin2 huhu

I see. How about A350? Price not much different isn't it?

for anyone that migrating from point-and-shoot camera... sure will pick A300...
coz of the live view system....

other spec is the same with A200... price diff around RM300-400 wasnt it?
lazy to check.. price can be seen at first page first post...

wahh, ninja want to buy sony DSLR.

yeah price diff is about that amount, quite big for just a live view

Do you have any other lenses in your Nikon system other than the original kitlens that came with the D60? If yes, and you wished to keep them, then I think an upgrade to another higher grade Nikon is a better option. But looking at the 2 photos you got, I can understand why you would want a large aperture 50mm lens. If that's the reason, then I don't see why you would want to buy a twin lens kit for the A200. Might as well buy the single lens kit and use the saved money to buy a 2nd hand 50mm f1.7 (cost around RM500, used) for your low light work. And yes, you get built in vibration reduction even with the 50mm lens! That helps in your low light work too!

i have no other but the kit lense.

oh you just gave me best option to save my $$ even after resell my d60!

a200 with 1 kit is only about 1699 at sony centre, perhaps cheaper at street shop.. wah that's good!
with 50mm second hand minolta also works right?

well this is a plus points for me to sell my D60 and get a200

bro, kalau nak save lagi, usha2 dulu yang second hand, mesti ada punya. Kekadang A300/350 baru 4/5 bulan maybe slightly higher than new A200. Just my 2 cents lah.......

u can refer to the 1st page...if not mistaken price difference around 300-400 kot...a350 got higher MP but slower FPS...

I think some of the guys in KL (I'm not from around KL. Me in KK ) are saying the street price of A200 single lens kit is RM14xx. Add a 50mm for around RM500 and you are looking at a decent, fully image stabilized system for less than RM2k! And yes... a 2nd hand Minolta 50mm will work just fine on the A200, with image stabilization working at full functionality.

a200 at lyp selling at rm 1450 and add another 16-80 cz vario sonnar 3k = rm 4450 only wow what a great deal

lol..kysham not working instead here poisoning ppl eh

if a200 or a300..i'll go with a200 twin lor..

live view make us look not pro..haha..if low just lie on ground..

somemore even 75 300 also not bad bokeh..depend lah on ur use..kalau u not like skodeng ppl then a300 single laso not bad..hahaha



ni 75 300 a200
