Sony A33

[iguanavon]

Hmm...
I'm getting it in every mode and combinations possible.
Also are there supposed to be vibrations when in cleaning mode?

So far i've never felt any vibrations when i tried cleaning mode...

Damn..could it be possible that the SSS be damaged if there were condensation during use?
From day one when I used the camera I never really been bothered whether SSS was on or not.
Until my cousin brought it up recently that is. Its never been dropped since i got it from the Service Centre

Hmm... Then I'm not sure what's causing the SSS to be locked out... perhaps you can bring down your camera to those Sony shops for them to take a look?

For the cleaning mode, I've just tried it. Ya, there is vibration. It vibrates faster than the one during on/off.

By the way, what happened to your camera? How come need to send it to service centre?

It was a careless mistake. Dropped in and the signal audio wasn't working...
When i sent it in they changed a few parts inside.

Also experienced the lcd being loose all of a sudden before the drop.

uh.. a few queries..

1. Diff between the A-33 and A-55 is only the Megapixels (14.2 v 16.2), FPS (7 FPS v 3 FPS) and the GPS right?

2. Someone told me A-33 and A-55 doesnt come with in-body AF motor, is that true?

3. Anyone's OEM batt last longer than the original? i always have this fear that the OEM batt might explode. haha

4. Does the camera come with HDR function?

5. the supposed 3D video recording, do you need a 3D output, say 3D tv to view?

 

[Prince Photogenic]

hope that wasnt too many questions.

i can only answer 1 and 4:

1. On paper specs, yes, thats the only 3 differences. but on this website you can compare the photos taken by a55 and a33 under different ISOs. If you look at the higher ISOs pics, you can clearly see that a55 performs better. a33 has higher noise.

4. Yes, theres a HDR function.

Yes, except 7 Fps vs 10 Fps.

2. Someone told me A-33 and A-55 doesnt come with in-body AF motor, is that true?

No, not true. It does have in-body motor. Only the NEX3/5 with E-mount doesn't have.

3. Anyone's OEM batt last longer than the original? i always have this fear that the OEM batt might explode. haha

Dunno, sorry. So many different 3rd party ones.

4. Does the camera come with HDR function?

Yes.

5. the supposed 3D video recording, do you need a 3D output, say 3D tv to view?

Dunno, have not tried myself.

 

[Rocky78]

Does anyone have any news about the A580 hitting our shore ?

Hope to get my hands on one soon ...

The waiting is indeed tortuous.

:dunno:

A: In addition to all thats been said, the 2 SLTs have very different sensors. (up to you if that is important or not)

2. Someone told me A-33 and A-55 doesnt come with in-body AF motor, is that true?
A: False, whoever told you that knows squat about the new Sonys.

3. Anyone's OEM batt last longer than the original? i always have this fear that the OEM batt might explode. haha
A: Wun explode lah, (unless your charger's faulty) but you'll get what you paid for in terms of QC and I've not come across any 3rd party battery lasting longer than the original, Sony, Canon or otherwise !

4. Does the camera come with HDR function?
A: Yes, hand-held HDR up to 6EV.

5. the supposed 3D video recording, do you need a 3D output, say 3D tv to view?
A: There is NO 3D video recording ! ...only 3D Panaramic shot ! ...totally different thing.

Just my 2 cents, ...Hope that helped ! :bsmilie:

Thanks! i can understand chinese. hehe =P i cant wait.. that's the problem:bsmilie:

it says something about some multishot function to improve the ISO - is it a function that we have to select or it's by default?
