Got to try out the Sony Alpha DSLR at Abenson this afternoon coz I saw it on display. Ergonomics sucked. The camera felt like a point and shoot. The only plus factor for the camera would be the in-camera image stabilization. I'd put my money elsewhere.

astig yng image stabilization mechanism nya! saw a demo unit of how the thing works from the inside (i didn't know our hands were THAT shaky in trying to hold a camera steady no matter how hard we try!)  even how it shakes to get rid of the dust. as in talagang pinapagpag yng sensor!

Wow! Congrats on your new photo gear. Nice shots. Now you start to feel the burn with the lenses... hehehe.

i love the burn! 

btw, speaking of lenses, i bought today a 75-300 canon lens. 

so far i have two lenses

1. 18-55 canon
2. 75-300 canon

enough spending on the dslr for now. these two lenses should make me happy.... no wait! i still need to get a macro lens and an extra battery grip

For me, I've set a definite long term goal at least for lenses.

Once I complete five golden rings, and the addition of a 50mm f/1.4 and an 85 f/1.8. I'm done.

I have a golden ring VR lens already at least. hehe. The other one on my list is VR as well. I guess that leaves my other gold ring and two future acquisitions non-VRs but the short focal lengths on those won't really need VR.

105 vr ba ? or 200 vr? hehe nice! See you sat Brent

You need a lens with macro capability, it might be hard to just add close up filters and extension tubes for macro shots. Eventually you'll want a macro dedicated lens.

sabi nung iba ok naman daw yng mga kenko extension tubes for macros..

Get a prime macro lens.

60mm f/2.8 or 100mm f/2.8

IMHO Canon doesn't have a 28-70 f/2.8. 24-70 f/2.8 ata sa Canon.
