The A200 is a bit creeky here and there, but still overall well built .Nevertheless, both are much better than the plasticky Canon 1000D. D60> A200 >1000D Winner: Nikon Ergonomics: D60 feels a bit small to me, the grip area doesn't seem to blend in well with my fingers. The A200 has a larger body grip, more squarish and a bit more seperated. Feels heavier too, which is great when u've got heavier lenses, and it feels more balanced. Winner: Sony Noise: Side to side comparison, the D60 is a TAD better in noise control. Sony A200 wasn't THAT bad, just trailing behind by a little, not by a large margin. Before testing the D60, i would have anticipated a Bigger difference, however it didn't turn out to be that way, again, all to my eyes' comparison Winner: Nikon AWB: Here, the Sony excels. Virtually kills the AWB of nikon. As you can see from the pic, there's a TONE of differences between both cams. the Sony known for its excellent AWB which represents the color temp(from real life view) accurately. & rightly so it deserves it. no debate here. Winner : Sony IQ: Both are comparatively good, so to speak. Sony tends to be towards the soft side, more refined way of presenting it. IQ seems to be more natural, mimicking the real life condition. Nikon on the other hands, produces a little too VIVID colors. Everything seems to be a little overdone here and there. Colors are no doubt punchy and very contrasting. Again depending on individual's preferences. Perhaps a too little much IQ fixings, makes the output a little too harsh and 'fake'. I'm a naturalist, so i would prefer Sony. Winner: None, Subjective All in all, given the other features(crucial only) Sony (9AF, Built in SSS, RM1.45K, wireless, larger body grip) vs Nikon [3AF, Powerful AF Assist Lamp (which i like),better lense built quality(which i believed has a little better IQ] Which to go? Easy, if your looking for features:performance- > Sony Brand Name,AF Assist lamp,Probably don mind spending more on VR lense, punchy & Vivid color -> Nikon Again, those are all my Noobie statements, given i've been into photography for around 2months only I've been testing out the D60 during CNY too, which belong to my cousin's friend. Definitely got the built quality. Very solid, got metal feel. While I'm testing the D60, my uncle went picking some coconuts and posed up to me, I compose and press the shutter, but heck, it took longer than a200 to focus. And missed the shot because of I thought I took the picture already. Maybe because I was get too used to a200 focusing time. However, in close up, where distance is short, D60 can focus in no time and no hunting in lowlight. Maybe because of the assist light. The kitlens was great too, high built quality and looks 'stylish'. Really hope Sony improves their kitlens. But display wise, when I zoomed the photo, the photo become 'pixelate', lower resolution compare to a200. That's normal thought because D60 is older than a200 (isn't it? 2.5 inch LCD era). There is some points I love about D60; it's smaller in size so won't draw much attention traveling around and it's built quality. "Clicky" D60 shutter sound compared to "Snappy" a200 shutter. I think I love the Clicky sound more.. But still, a200 is still the award winning entry-level DSLR isn't it? Again, I only compared the D60 and a200, not their brand. This has nothing to do with the brand anyway and I didn't conclude myself "which brand are better and the best of these two". So pls don't flame me.

Getting Started Junior Member 288 posts Joined: Mar 2006	If we need to record HD vid.. Just buy SONY camcoder lor.. a700 + sony camcoder = D90 price vise. sony camcoder definitely > D90 video performance vise. a700 and D90 pic quality and ISO would be almost the same value vise and performance vise, a700 + cam still the best... however today people just want to integrate everything.. and they value that as something that worth to have.. HD and DSLR just like handphone and camera mah. if a handphone got latest 8MP + vid recording will still lose to a 6MP digital camera.. that mean if we try to integrate everything into 1 piece.. we would not (mostly) get the performance we wanted and also sacrificing the cost.. try to do 2 things at the same time = bad p/s: tis is juz a logical thinking of mine.

Getting Started Junior Member 288 posts Joined: Mar 2006	QUOTE(albnok @ Feb 20 2009, 11:49 PM) SinnerBuyer: The 18-250mm is a popular lens. Remember that there are a lot more Sony users than there are on the forum, and not everybody documents their purchases online. Also, there is no 16-105mm equivalent in any other brand. Nothing else starts at 16mm and ends at 105mm. The Nikkor 18-200mm VR is more expensive than the Sony 18-250mm. Oh. Stick with Alpha Added on February 21, 2009, 5:36 pm QUOTE(NewCell @ Feb 21 2009, 04:24 PM) I just came back from lowyat. so sad most of the camera shop has run out of cobra.......

Getting Started Junior Member 288 posts Joined: Mar 2006	If budget is really an issue, try go for 2nd hand Alpha. There's a lot of ppl selling (jump ship + financial prob), that's a loss for them and a reward for new Alpha user. Then get an UWA. Just an alternative.

Getting Started Junior Member 288 posts Joined: Mar 2006	QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Mar 1 2009, 08:49 AM) Let say i shooting in museum with low light condition. How to deal with it? what is the setting should I used? I used f4.5 with 1/3 shutter speed, it gives me good light output (from camera view) but the problem is it's too slow and gives me blur image once transfer to pc .. Tripod is the best option then. But you can try to shoot when the SSS indicator shows 1 bar. Often it will work. 2 seconds self-timer works like a charm too.

We can't say which one was cheaper. Becoz ~~"someone" will come in and 'diao' us.~~ it will cause chaotic as everyone has their own point. So, go and do some research by yourself.
