    Was trying some product type shots using the Sony A580 and remotely triggering a Minolta 3600HSD and a 5600HSD flash remotely. Found that I have to turn on the on camera flash in order to do so. The problem is that when I try to take some portrait shots, the top of camera flash would be on the...

    I am looking at some used A550 bodies offered and noticed some are claiming unfilled warranty. Wonder if this is valid and able to get the full 1 year warranty in Singapore upon registration. This is because in the Nikon section, there is a sticky saying Nikon needs the receipt to prove the...

    My F30 had died

    My F30 stopped being able to be charged and basically nothing happens even when plugged in. Thinking if it is worth to bring it for repairs as I like that camera very much. I have a Canon S90 now but sometimes, still wished that the F30 is working. Thought of using it as a bike mounted camera to...

    No Sony DSLR promotions in Sitex?

    I have been looking around these few days but seems Sony had no special Sitex promotion. Seen at least Nikon had some special Sitex package but Sony had been exceptionally quiet. Seems no one even bring up Sitex over here in Clubsnap.:dunno::dunno: Anyone seen any thing in the Sony camp?

    My first MF camera

    Just got myself a fully functional Agfa Billy Record II folding camera over the weekend! My first MF camera :). It is so different to use compared to my SLR/DSLR. Firstly, the viewfinder is unable to check focus, just for composition use. Then the focusing, is done purely by guessing. Estimate...

    2nd Hand KM5D or Alpha 100??

    Have been using my Minolta Dynax 5 for around 4 years already and find that I have not been shooting as much as I would like due to the cost in film development. Therefore thinking of getting a DSLR for my casual shooting. AS I have the minolta system on hand, it is most logical to remain using...
