SONY ALPHA is Conquering!!

I'm sure those who follow the cameras' news knew about the latest release of DSLR by SONY ALPHA. It's the first pro DSLR for Alpha, A900!!!

Drop the thoughts that Sony's camera is pricey, Sony T's version maybe expensive but not Sony Alpha. This full frame DSLR currently stands at RM9,999 (retail price), a little cheaper compare to other brands at the pro level of DSLR.

I'm not going to elaborate about the features or the pros and cons of A900 as i'm yet to touch it myself personally. Get here, if you're interested in this cam.


Personally im a Sony Alpha user. Many suggested not to get a Sony's DSLR, instead go for the stable and well-known Nikon's and Canon's. I would say just go for anything that suits you most. Every cam's has its pros and cons, you dont compare Nikon D40 with Alpha 700, you dont compare Canon 40D with Alpha 300.

I asked a lot of people why dont they go for Sony Alpha. ''They are newbie only larh, so few models only, and not many ppl tried it'' , ''yes, the body is okay, its cheap, but you'll regret as the Sony lenses and accessories are bloody expensive'' Basically i got these two answers.


Okay. Let me clear you guys wrong perceptions towards SONY ALPHA, and why you should go for SONY ALPHA from now on.
  • Sony Alpha's DSLR system has history of decades as Sony took over Minolta's DSLR division. Not a newbie okay.
  • Sony is a major image sensor (both CCD and CMOS) manufacturer for DSLR. Do take note that they produce image sensors for Nikon DSLR system (ie: Nikon D40x, D80 and D200 are using Sony CCD sensor which are also used in Sony A100, A200 and A300..... D300's CMOS sensor is the same sensor as A700).
  • Sony Alpha cameras are some of the cheapest in the market. Not only that, they also offer more functions compare to competitors.
  • Along with the release of Alpha900, Sony announced a substantial price cut for almost the entire range of standard and G lenses. *High up to all Alpha owners!!*
Now with cheaper lenses and with the oh-its-so-affordable DSLRs available from Sony Alpha, why dont you try them??

*This post is not for advertising purposes but to tell people to consider Sony Alpha if you're getting a camera, and dont tell me Sony has no experience in DSLR, Sony lenses so expensive ANYMORE!!! YOU'RE OUTDATED IF YOU DO SO.


P/S: My Nikon's P&S cam is dead. Any good and budget P&S to intro??
