to Sony, not KM I am thinking of getting a VR lens like the 70-200VR or the 18-200 VR or the 105 VR. Then I realised that all this lens is going to cost like thousands EACH....

might as well buy a second body + some primes for my wife to shoot beside me and I get the 10MP resolution + wide aperture + VR.

Some people hate Sony but I really like Sony products.
I have a Sony video cam, and "handtop".

Let's hope the singapore pricing is good.

wait for dpreview to review the body before thinking of buying it.
applies to all new bodies. phil is trustworthy enough to provide a reasonable review.
