Around $1050 (plus minus $20-40 from difference shops). Inclusive of the Vertical Grip.

however IT show is around the corner, I suggest u wait and see what Sony has to offer.

From the last IT show, Sony has been VERY GENEROUS and offered a 2 in 1 digital photo frame / printer together with various camera accessories for their DSLR.

So wait and see first, if u can afford a few more days without a DSLR :)
 

hi folks,i'm new here and also i new in photography too :) i just started photography a week ago and i bought a Sony A550.
Here is my night view of clark quey shot,comments are welcome :D

Sony Alpha A550 sensor really lived up to its reputation of excellent noise control.:thumbsup:
 

Went to IT show. A500 @ 1299, with 18-55, 2x8G, Extra battery, Bag, Tripod, Dry box, Vertical Grip.
While MS color selling 1165 with 18-55, 1x8G, Bag, VG.
Or 1199/1080 w/o the 18-55.

Which is better?

And since I don't need the VG, just wondering how much can I sell it?

Thanks.

thanks, though i already bought it 3 posts ago:) and already sold the VG, already bulky enough...and luckily i'm the first posted it at BnS, now there're more ppl selling...

also got the 5018 at 119, great deal, and went to national museum Quest for Immortality with it. Great performance at low light, love it
 

anyone has a clue where to find the User Guide for A500? I lost mine, and I can't find it from the Sony website :(
 


Hi, thanks a lot bro..
yeah missed out the menu from main nav, might be it's just me, but how I searched was, goto sony.com, choose sony.com.sg, there's a DSLR icon right below the navigation, and it brings me to this microsite http://www.sony.com.sg/microsite/dslr/index.html?hpid=dslr_micro:home:mainbanner_icn , I don't know the main nav is different, and I also did googling for it :sweat:

anyway, thanks for the link ;)
