    D3200 against A57

    Haha, would like to, but not this time because of the $$$. Its a very good alternative, but no money. Personally, I dun like the evf, but then, overall still like sony slts. Maybe consider slts again when I change body next time. =)

    D3200 against A57

    Changed my mind. Decide to forget the Sony. Now probably going between D3200 and D5100. Price wise, most probably going for D5100 with a kit 1 and extra 55-200mm . TK FOTO latest price at ~$1000. Maybe not getting dry cabinet because of the bulkiness. Most probably going for the dry box...

    D3200 against A57

    I see....anyway, decided if I need sony, then its going to be a37. Smaller screen, but retains most of the features of a57. Price is quite similiar to d3200 too, impt for me because I cannot spend too much. Really difficult to make a choice, both are outstanding in different ways.

    Is a dry cabinet neccesary, or just leave it inside a closed drawer will do? I think I have a humidity box from an old camera with a meter at the top, works the same right? Dun think I will need filters, maybe a clear or uv one, but should not be too expensive.

    Thanks! Cathay has a option of twin lenses for around $1080, cheaper than if buy kit 1 and then get the 55-200 seperately. Unfortunately, other shops dun seem to have it. Personally, I dun think changing lens will be too much a problem, except maybe miss a few shots if change lens too slowly...

    D3200 against A57

    Pictures shot with the 55-200vr Read those online reviews, IQ of 55-200 not as good as 18-105. Build quality of 18-105 said to be much better. All the way at maximum focal length, 55-200 got some vignetting or something, cannot remember well. So between the choices of 1) 18-105mm 2) 18-55 +...

    D3200 against A57

    I am on a really tight budget, so the price of A57 is the same as D3200 + 18-105mm quoted by a few shops. I probably need the longer lens then 18-55, so if I get the A57, then cannot get longer lens...

    D3200 against A57

    I understand, because the a57 is more ex by ard $200, so I am not sure if the extra features are worth it. 10FPS is very attractive compared to nikon's 4, so I am stuck between these choices, unless D5200 comes out next month for <$1100. Not possible I think... =(

    D3200 against A57

    To all the ppl: Sorry for my noob post, I have yet to decide on a camera from my previous thread. I spent some time reading through the threads here and found that many people recommended the sony a57. As mentioned many times, megapixels do not make a difference, so the D3200 should not...

    Recommendation for entry level DSLR

    Well, from the comparisons, looks like the D3200 and K30 belongs to a totally different league. A lot of bros above mentioned that D5100 is very good, but after comparing with D3200, looks like both cameras are very similiar except for the flip screen and larger viewfinder that makes the most...

    Recommendation for entry level DSLR

    Thank you for pointing that out. I am a newbie, definitely have to read more. O.o Staff price? Well, I am not sure of the price of pentax k30 kit 18-135 in Singapore yet, but if convert usd1000+ to sing, the cost will probably be at $1300+. If I go with the D3200, for kit 2 I was quoted...
