managed to "molest" A580 at a sony shop in KL. Look and feel similar to a550 but the AF points are great improvements. Didn't get to try the video mode as there is no card
HK is selling for 5.7K with kit lens.. ( equals to less 1K SGD ) :think:
I am going HK in the first week of Dec....
Dont mind buying it as i am buying my a55 over there.
The only issue is the trust and the hassle of arranging this ordering thinggy.
Cheers

Any shop in JB also selling? Going all the way to KL quite troublesome.
Latest confirmation from a dealer in KL ... RM2399 (body) with 8GB card. Add RM30 for postage to JB.
Spoke to MSC yesterday and it seems it will be here officially but not sure when.
To be honest, it doesnt make sense for sony to omit selling a580 here since its avaliable almost in most asian countries. Probably production stock is not enough so cater to countries with higher population first maybe.
Well.... Though am so amazed by the awesome reviews of this great Cam....
Will still hang on to my "high" mileage A500, Since its still in the 5-series (dun see a point moving along the 5-series)
Next on my target will be the FF, which would probably be at least after mid next year....
Hopefully, and yes, hopfully , will see a good successor to the A850 by then... If not , can also sneak a "good deal" when Sony starts dumping the A850 prior to the impending release of the new "successor"...
