New gadget for this week. One which burns our pockets too.

Sony A200




The Sony alpha DSLR-A200 camera is perfectly positioned to carry photographers into the creative world of DSLR performance. A DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 standard zoom lens is included here, as well as superb 10.2 megapixel imaging, high-sensitivity shooting, and Super SteadyShot in-camera image stabilization that reduces blur with a brilliant array of Sony, Carl Zeiss and Minolta a-mount lenses. It's also fast, lightweight and incredibly easy to operate, with a large 2.7" LCD screen, simple Function Guide menu display and Creative Style settings to fine-tune camera performance. The powerful Bionz processing engine is also included to increase response time.

Initially, we were deciding on which brand to get (Either a Nikon or Canon). Sadly.. from the IT show til now (at a "big store"), we dont get any good explanation/good promoting on these 2 brands from any experts. My dear boy then decided to take a look at Sony A200 since he heard quite a no. of raves of this model from a forum. And surprisingly, the salesperson(a lady) over there is much more knowledgable than the GUYS at the "particular big store". This lady not only explained to us on each pros&cons for hers & other brands; she too taught us on how to use the camera(A200) & explained on each of the functions. We're too impressed by the fast-focusing system & the sharp image of a printout - which took by a Uncle(he uses same lens & model as well)!

Well.. like what my dear boy said,"afterall, there isnt a better system for all cameras. Each of them got their pros & cons and supporters as well"
Ya, I agree.

So... as well as giving Sony a chance & not wasting the lady's good customer service attitude; we purchased it in the end. Hee.




Took some shots & these're the ones which I really love..
(Note: EXCEPT for resizing of photos; theres no editings/special effect. They appeared kinda dark as taken during evening time without any lights on)

My dear boy :)


I heart this!


Anyway, there's still more room for improvement. Hopefully, we'll be able to attend a free course to learn more of the "photo-taking skills" & taking beautiful peektures soon!

The con of this type of cam is: any flaws can be seen clearly liao!.. Duhzzz.
