Re: Why does dPreview do 'Recommended' ratings?

I'd say whatever they call their ratings, highly recommended, more highly recommended, a bit recommended etc, what is missing is consistency. If they want to rate cameras, they have to establish a set of criteria (much more than what they show in the conclusion) and give points from 1-10, then the f...

Re: Hello From Istanbul !

merhaba yildiz!

welcome and hoş geldiniz :mrgreen: from France!

Re: Which Sony Alpha kit lens?

I went for the Sony 18-250 a few months ago. I needed a walkaround lens for those days when you just grab your camera and have no time to change lenses. Like it a lot.

Re: Your best A700 tip & trick?

Thanks to all for your ideas. Yesterday evening I did my first test. Wow!! What a difference. The shutter feels so fast :shock: .

Your best A700 tip & trick?

Well, maybe I am just posting this to tell you I finally got an A700 :D , battery is charging..

Anyway, my background is the KM5D, any good tips for an upgrader? Any fundamental changes I am not yet aware of? Any traps and pitfalls to avoid?

Maybe I should just go out and shoot :wink:
