Somthing to talk about

Hmm..

I wonder if Sony does consider at times to offer trade-in of older sony cameras for higher end ones...more like a promotion like those car manufacturers once I think was Audi and was making such a good come back from their low market race then.

I am pretty doubtful of the current products being superior to others...Sony used to claim good lenses and superb quality but somehow rather for the recent cameras they have turned to using CMOS...wonder if most users have noticed? My loyal P10 is serving me well.

Suggestions?

hrmm~ trade in?

dun think they will do that in SG.

heard they are doing auction in Sony Australia though.

If only digital cameras becomes something like mobile phones...trade in with minimal value huh?

let us wait for that.

as for CMOS, it's technology that more brands will be pushing for soon.

Lower production cost and less power consumption.

Look at Canon, even the big boy is going CMOS, full frame CMOS that is.
Full frame CCD is just too expensive for consumers right now. hrmm~

The CMOS technology right now is not exactly the same as it was before.
namely the bad points were all associated with CMOS. hrmm~ and CMOS has better sensivity toward shadows as well. pros and cons.
