koto: sakto sad na imong choice sa sony alpha kay 24 mos to pay + 3 years warranty is quite hard to beat. ayaw kabalaka anang iso1600 ... shoot raw and remove noise on post processing if you don't like.

ang nice ang katong bag sa sony .. nindut ang design ug build

@agoroy, pwede sad. Post nya pics boss koto.

ayaw kabalaka anang iso1600 ... shoot raw and remove noise on post processing if you don't like.

the problem isnt just the very high noise @ 1600...its also the wierd characteristic ninya na mu lahi ang color, saturation and exposure not to mention halos wala gyud detail mabilin when shooting 1600 sa iso...usable up to 800 ra gyud ang alpha...
check out the exhibit sa ayala...klaro man sa ilang gi blowup na pics na di gyud kaayo siya ana ka nindot quality captures...
but its not that bad either...

the DR advance is kinda inconsistent so monitor lang what you take...double check it after taking.
the thing about the steadyshot is that you cant see it working thru the viewfinder...harder to anticipte...kinda gotten used to thru the lens gyud na antishake as you can see it working even before you press the shutter all the way. but hey its the capture that matters right...as long as it works (3.5 slower shutter) then its all good all in all its hard to beat the alpha in features+price.

jaggy naka kuha ka sa jacket ila panghatag?

[agoroy]

mark, nanghatag diay sila ug jacket? .. ako ra gitan-aw didto tung mga exhibit


nothing special man ilang mga photos. pero ganahan ko sa ilang bag .. almost 4k sad to da.


di lang nako ganahan sa sony kay mora feeling nila nindut ila camera kaysa uban .. mas mahal pa gud sa 30D ilang introductory

ilang mga lenses perti sang mahala

[markyap]

discounted man ila lens...50% ata during the promo period...but most of what they have in stock are lowend glasses. most have problem with CA.

yes couple of dozen of us got a jacket from them hehehe. a friend took home a 6.3mp sony digicam. another friend took home a sony dvd player. all free. didnt even have to buy anything heheheh.
they just put ur name on a piece of paper and gi raffle off nila during the launching dito sa ayala hehehe.
pag lunch time gipakaon pud mi nila sa laguna garden buffet hehehe...

Actually nag ka problem or issue gamay sa pag palit namo CUZ' ang ingon sa mga sales rep. sa ilang both ang 24months na plan apil ang 10k na check and 2k na memory card certificate pero, dats only for the cash price and 12months ang sa 24months 5k na accessories and 5k na photoprinter, w/c is a ingon nila namo b4 mi ni palit nga apil daw!!! mao to medyo nag ka gubot gamay cuz 2 kami ni palit,nya mao sad to pag ila nila sa 24months na package cuz mao man to ingon sa sales rep. did2 sa both pero did2 na sila kahibaw na lahi diay sa 24months na promo pag transac namo did2 sa colors cuz nga naa silay new memo, mao too heheee medyo unfair sad para sa mga 24months na buyers, cuz its all the same the bank will pay the store full cash and kami nalang mag bayad sa bank, wats the difference diba... ok raman sad namo mag 12months na package pero too late na..
Mao too plan namo ( kami 2 ka buyer ) amo gi report sa DTi cuz mao gyud too ilang gi saad namo before we buy, simple mistake but it is still a crime, tskk.. tskk..

any way just bought my CF card and start to practice some shots right now.. mga next week lang ko mo post hehe ok ra?.. nag pa anad paman gud ko cuz lahi ra siya gamay features sa 350D w/c i used before.

Still a keeper
Colored version from my personal set "Into the Rummage Sale"

Camera: Nikon D80
Shutter: 1/20
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 400
WB: Auto

In-camera settings:
+ Sharpening
Normal Contrast
+ Saturation

IMO, the good thing about the Nikon D80 is the built-in Image Enchancement Option. Its like a Photoshop CS2 on the go. Hehehe.. Im shooting .raw to keep stock profile for future adjustments but most of the time I preferred the in-camera adjustments. Whether shooting .raw or .jpeg.. for me its a great function which I think only the Nikon D80 has it. Hehehe..

On the downside, sometimes this body tends to produce over-saturated images which for me erases the naturality effect. Though you can easily adjust the Saturation option but for me why the heck? A friend got a Canon 450D and I was amazed by the naturality.. Well, hehehe.. each with its own advantages and disadvantages..

hehe i think sony alpha got that same Image Enchancement Option, cuz i saw an option where u can ufjust the sharpness, contrast, hue and etc.. in the menu dial, anyway ill try it again,..

450D? they just release 400D right?

anyway im going to take my sony alpha outside today in ayala 5pm-7pm, and ill try to post some indoor samples

@Ian

@koto
My bad. Should be Canon 400D.. sorry..
As to the 1st pic.. Thanks.. used a CP for that one to make the Blue Sky more blue.. hehehe.. and to add a warming effect.

Basically all the dSLR you've mention can perform. Really depends on your style.. Not much of a difference..
Well, as to Nikon vs. Canon.. both are good brands.. its just that Canon made some silly names on their dSLR "Rebel XTi".. hehehe.. got that one from a Nikonian Forum and supposed to be a joke.. hehehe..
