hmm, i dont familiar either, but already go there twice for alpha TT, first with kysham last year, and second, yesterday...

u know the traffic light at KLCC? on the right is KLCC, and opposite to the Lembaga Getah building there..u just head straight to the JLN yap kwan seng there...5-10 mins walk only..

vande, azman dah bukak thread dah kt alphanatics

okay, i think i should know that
you what time you guys will reach there approximately?

@alpha_company

IF u r getting sony..i would suggest u get the A300 single kit lens package first. Unless u already know/define your shooting style..else i don see a reason to get the telephoto just becos its slightly cheaper..if u don shoot things from far..the lens would b wasted and incurs more cost to u...for my case im glad i didnt get the twin lenses package bcoz i rather find the need to zoom so far..and y A300 not A200?for this..i think liveview would b suitable for u..since u r newly converted to DSLR so u might find urself shooting from ur LCD at the early stage(altho i recommend to shoot using viewfinder and gesture helps to reduce weight of the camera too)..but as a girl..i believe u wont want to shoot in those awkward positions..so this is when liveview comes really handy..

actually im the only Sony user among my friends..so after 5 months of observation..this is wad i think..

1)sony built in stabilizer is REALLY a godsend...u would not worry about those really exp lenses with built in IS/VR stabilizer..

2)sony has lesser choice of lenses especially for old minolta lenses..if u need one..the only way is to get a 2nd hand..(altho the choice is lesser..but i feel that its enough to cover everything)

3)sony has lousier ISO performance as compared with others(but for me i always shoot in low ISO..so it doesnt affect me at all =p )

4)D60 is lighter than A300..u have to feel it yourself..we cant possibly tell u which weight suits u more..some prefer slightly heavier gear...some find it tiring after prolong shooting(especially with big lenses).

5)i don really like the shutter sound of A300 as compared with D80/450D(haha..this is just a personally pref)


personally..i think its good to go down n test out both set..see which one feels more comfortable to u..afterall u r the one who need to use it..
brand wise is usually not a big issue...all brands hav their own pros n cons..if u comparing camera at similar league..they usually hav similar spec n performance..and im sure there r helpful ppl from all the brands when u need it...so at the end of the day..its ur skill and shooting style that determine the quality of ur photo..camera is jsut a tool...

talking about camera weight...im feeling the pain with a200+f42:(haha

last time on the hot air baloon fiesta.. i use a300 + siggy tele + f58... daym~~
my neck merah merah edi... furthermore.. the strap is not that good..
just if i haf that moo's crumpler industry disgrace..

OMG! u r using f42 too?! LoL


Need to finger exercise more la like this..

achew: Ahak..yeah..the shutter sound of alpha is always like "hey look! bird! *took a single picture* *SNAP!*...ah..dun fly away", or " Hey, nice crowds, *SNAP!*... *all looking with that "xpuas ati faces"* " ala..no stealth la like this..lol

ya, noticed that, but i will deal personally with him..

LoL.. Put on the vertical grip? Super pain la like that..

ehh sry..see wrongly...haha..i thought can see picture thorugh the eyepiece

haha..i have the same reasons as you too...1000d feels like a toy..so light and grip so small..ergonomic isnt there. D60 - 3 af point? a big no from me...especially if u r new to DSLR.

yea i love the shutter sound of nikon too...Sony 'flick flack' and Nikon 'criock' and Canon 'Crock'

but sony live view is still the best...so fast =.=

imagine wit f58...

actually i don mind the weight of my a300+cz1680+f58 when i holding them on my hand...but once i put everything back to my bag...somehow i find it a lil bit heavy already..

ahh..imagine next time carrying a900+2470+f58...*faint*

nice

dammit! got a call from a friend... needs me to do some thingy for his project... damn last minute call! doubtful if i'm gonna make it today man!

wow.. a clear non biased explaination indeed. thanks..

So now i'm narrowing it down to D60 and A300. Bye2 toy like 1000D canon

the weight of the camera, make me feel more stable to shoot, seriously, using kitlens+F42+VG, are not comfy enough, but if can get a lil bit heavier lens, for me, it will be nice...


sig, u dont have talent? we go together?

why 2470? 70200G mah..lol..heavier.. and VG also..haha free gym..

Just wanna share something.

I rarely take pictures at night so there I was on some moderately tall building (22 floors + another floor (water tank)) at around 9pm. I was overlooking Shah Alam skyline and set up my tripod and stuff. I zoom in to 250mm and shoot The Masjid Negeri. Set the aperture to f8 and 20 seconds shutter speed. Oh, like everybody said before, always turn off the sss on tripod. So I did.

Snap! 20 seconds+another few seconds of noise reduction the picture came out.. Blur liao....Took another one..Blur again..

So I step up to f6.3 and 10 seconds shutter. The blur reduce a bit.

It's definitely movement kinda blur. So I turn on the SSS and heck.. the blur reduce a lot. Damn swaying tall building.. I never had thought it would sway that much... LoL..
Nah...just wanna share the experiences.

oh yes.... body + vg + tele + cobra = yummy~~
dunno how many kilo is that all..

actually wat tripod u use?
