I am VERY interested to see how this camera performs. I've been watching reviews of it for some time now just out of curiosity. What intrigues me most is the anti-shake/image-stabilization/vibration/reduction that is built into the camera body itself rather than individual lenses.

Which macro lenses do the sony line offer? are there other brands that fit on it? To be honest I wasn't impressed by it's built it feels too plasticky and for that price I would have gone with a D70s or a bit more for the D80. Guess you have to defend yor choice with some nice pics now.

However, even with the on sale price for d70, it is still running at 999$ cnd, one hundred more than what i paid for the alpha then theres the d80, which is runnin at 1,590cnd.. so thats out of possiblity. therefore, i think i got a pretty good deal for the alpha, considering it has 10.3 effective megapixles and all other goodies. |

Looking good,
Try stopping water circulation as I think some of the noise in the water is because of moving airbubbles. Also did you use a tripod with those? Just checked the Sony and it's lenses in an earby store and Carl Zeiss lenses sure are good ones. also there is a Sony flash, didn't check it out but it's good to know that there is a flash that would automatically meter with the camera. 100 Canadian more wouldn't have been too much if you get to share lenses you would save a lot more if your brother has got some macro lenses??? Anyway you seem up to a good sart with the Sony, please post some more pics with it once you know all the tricks and get more used to the camera. |

Did you know the Sony Alpha is supposed to be compatible with any Minolta Maxxum type of lens?(Sony Alpha uses a "Minolta a mount") That open's up a world of available lenses which can often be found used for cheap $$$
