oh...coz my subject(human) would normally end up underexpose when u have such bright background. I think centre weighted would help a lot then..

you dont need to make ur subject to stay in the middle to get the exposure correct...you can always recompose by using AE-Lock to lock the exposure and then recompose. Flash to slightly lit the subject to get the details i suppose...wah..so good got gf to let u shoot such photos..really nice...print it out and hang on ur bedroom wall la

hmmm u r correct too maybe should meter between the face and background? ...hmmm i guess DRO is the key here..get A700 and DRO+5

@Cow
Whts so confusing? u mean the metering and AE-lock?

forget bout buying in Aus..definately more expensive.

Albert
the DRO thingy, is it causing the colour noise in ur picture?

yes...only 3 options on A100 to 350 - Off, DRO and DRO+. Ok get A700 to do +5! poison enough??

if u want software similar to PS but easier to use.. try ''Paint.NET'', it is free. I use Lightroom2 all the time...and if things really go nuts...then i use CS2 to PP it.

others to try - Picasa and Photoscape.

bye guys off to sleep..nite..

ofcoz cousin's wedding important la..haha..u can shoot wedding. The alpha course u can go next time if they organize again.

wht PP u have used here? slight HDR?

wah...you have such a good gf that supports your hobby in photography.

hey achew...check ur fb..i searched for u and added u lol. hope u don mind

You are asking in the wrong thread, you know the answer that you will get...Alpha!
i say both equally good...450d slightly better..

wan live view? go for a300 If not, then a200.
if you r getting twin kit lens for a200...then u will get 1870 and 75300
if you r getting twin kit lens for a300...then 1870 and 55200

not sure which K,W,X stand for which..i forgot already.

other brand? ask in their thread. or ask in here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/859016/+1560
they would probably suggest d60/1000d..but nvm, go ahead and ask ..and see wht they say.

1. No u cant
2. 9 focus point
3. very subjective, its like choosing brand now. they are all equally good.

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 =.=

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

oh ya ...lol nvr think of that haha. A portable gym sounds better?

AF-S is a type of lens which has built-in autofocus motor...not for stabilizing ur shot. Nikon stabilizer is called Vibration Reduction(VR). D60 need AF-S to focus because the camera itself does not have motor to autofocus.

All Sony uses built-in image stabilizer which is in the body rather than the lens..it is called 'Super Steady Shot'.

Im not sure whether sony lenses have built-in auto focus motor or not...need other sifu to explain..i want to know too.

oh i see...thx albnok..something new to me today

Added on April 9, 2009, 12:30 pmbecause d60 doesnt have 1..blame nikon for not putting 1 into it. and yes AF-S so that u can auto focus. This is why u r limited to some lenses only, you cant use AF-D lens..if u do..u need to manual focus.

juz mentioned on top..yes it does..its called SSM and yes Super steady shot is is the same thing(theoretically but not technically) as nikon's VR.

SDHC class 6 Extreme version or normal? if it comes together with the camera..then i assume it is normal SDHC class 6. So Sony 133x is faster. But nvm the card dude...A300 fps isnt that quick that you need a fast speed card. Unless u r bursting using RAW

pop-up flash sits higher so that you wont get shadow of ur lens when u r shoting a close subject.
