I see. So jialat ah? Guess ur fren really suay lor, either tt or he drop his cam alot... ;p Actually when I 1st got my W1, the lens got stuck for no reason on the 2nd day & I gotta send it back to the store to change a brand new set. But after tt, no probs with it so far, thou it has suffer'd quite a no. of bad bungy falls fr its careless owner over the past 1 yr...

mind posting a pic of tt gadget?;p

haha i got my H1 le!!! & very happy with the purchase. nice shop(not sony shop), nice service...great camera. i think i wont be happy buying Canon S2 IS. i prefer H1 look to S2, S2's len caps very lousy(falls off easily)..needs 4 batteries...self push flash...& oso, read tat S2 got some problems...ahahaha.. sorry canon pple!

sony promotion: free 512mb ms pro & 2 extra 2500mh batteries...(collect from Sony gallery)i oso bought myself a simple Honya UV filter & cleaning kit. tat's all. I realised to add the filter, gotta put the lens adapter, makin the camera so protruding :sweatsm: hard to keep in my bag. haa..then i duno whether the lens cap can be used on the filter anot...as in cover it like how i cover the sony lens? i did try it, it seems to grip well..but duno will spoil the filter anot..:dunno: sorry ah, damn new to SLR-like cameras. one more thing is i duno whether i can charge my 2500mh batteries using the charger they provide(tat charges 2100mh batt)..haa...till now i havent got the time to read my manual booK!! weekend zoomed pass so quickly!!! aiks!!!

how to post pictures here ah? can upload directly or need to upload somewhere n juz link it there? lazy to check la the camera has so many new functions(to me), seriously need some reading :sweat:

thanks all for the tips!!!

Welcome to the family of sony cam users JusJaz! Hope you will enjoy your cam as much we did. Btw, not sure how's taiwan weather but remember to bring a ziploc bag with ya in case of rain. You dun wanna get it wet. Just a bit of my personal experience.. sometimes weather in other countries can be pretty unpredictable..

:bsmilie: Army style. Ziplock everything including wallet/HP etc. ROC dun have sudden downpours but if you're caught in a typhoon.....

Northern ROC is generally wetter, so you might want to bring 1 big zip bag just in case. Normal days, your camera case can handle.

haha..thanks!!!

ya pic 1 abit dark but all in my mind was quickly capture the moment before the cat turns her head away!! if i play with the aperture/shutter etc...think she would have look away or walk away. haha...same goes for pic 5. was trying to capture her expression. but i guess everything will be easier if it was a sunny day.

actually plan to go zoo today but erm..overslept. haha...so maybe going tomorrow bah. crash course on using H1. hahaha...

i find myself having problem taking night shots. haiz...night shots without tripod & flash=bang wall. even with flash, it'll spoil the ambience...haiz. like tat how to take shilin ye shi?? hahaha....mayb use the night scene modes bah.

anyway, tips for H1 newbie users: go to dpreview's forum>sony talk...find this Alan's white paper website. the site has very useful advices on using H1, which i only read up after i took the cats photos. duh...never mind, nothing's too late. better than none!
