[Del_CtrlnoAlt]

I have try liao lar! But i was sick with the Minolta Manager 5 or 6 years ago! I think they got $$$$ problems, that's why Sony came in mah! Any way i still LOVE 7D so much!!!!! Very cheap & good hor! I hope they can look for me again than i can tell them how!?

I think we should write a petition or something to ask Sony Japan or Singapore or watever to nominate SLCC as the Sole Distributor for Sony DSLR, i think their business sure bloom 1... every student compulsory to buy a Sony DSLR ;p

Agree that no point taking in darkness without flash. But if with flash on, the cam still need to focus before can take decent picture. So if the AF assist function no gd, is still a problem. Thanks for pointing out the the KM external flash has infra AF assist lamp. Will try that when get one.

Looks like still no answer to my main question which is not seeking solutions but checking if the problem/characteristic of AF under low light is normal for KM 7D.:dunno: :dunno:

Hmmm ever tried using the D70/s WITHOUT the AF assist? You'd be surprised. It can STILL focus in near complete darkness. It can do so MUCH faster and more accurately than a 20D or 350D. Using kit lens somemore. Tested and proven by my friend to me. If i'm not wrong, there's no other dSLR brands that can match that. Think you have to get an external flash..

Even P&S nowadays can AF in total darkness. I got a Lumix FX01 for my wife last night and we tested the AF assist in total darkness of the bedroom with the drapes drawn and door closed. Focus in slow synch mode with OIS in Mode II was fast, the built-in flash was powerful and the pic came out sharp.

You are right, he did told me that with the beer, he can shoot better and got more creativity:think: Is it true? When i drink i can't shoot at all but he can:dunno: I saw it!!! Really!
