You want to start *that* again? :sweat: Read his title.mpenza said:consider the Canon 300D? ;p
guess it depends on which camera suits your needs better. perhaps, you'll want to list down the reasons why 828 was your first choice and why A1 wasn't.
Oh dear. I see. I've talked to a camera shop owner. It seems that most if not all producers have significant shortages due to wrongly projecting demands. As you can see, Nikon, Canon, Sony all have delayed or shortage of their products.keith10w said:actually i was using a f717 happy with it.....till i sold off for the upcoming f828...i am going of to a thai trip on 16/01/04, was wondering if i can get the f828 b4 that. afraid that i could not get the f828 to thai on time. so was searching for another alternative and came across the A1.
keith10w said:Hey guys all of u r really helpful....will try to wait for the f828.....till 14/01/04 if not i will go ahead for the A1, got a feel with the 7Hi already......, feel less sturdy with me....was hoping that the f828 will feel more sturdy with its near to 1kg weight.... DSLR currently is a "no go" for me coz the prices of the lenses will be $$$....so :lovegrin: might use the A1 or 828 for a few years b4 i turn to a DSLR...
Kudoz for all clubsnappers...!! :blah:
Caussway said:I fully agree with chriszzz, I did get a chance to handle both cameras. A1 feels really good for it's size and weight. I like the 28mm, AS, focus ring, fast AF, battery grip that allows AA, choise of flash, many other advance features. IMO the picture is really good, far from D7 series, sharp, good colour, low noise. This is still my personal choice.
I also took a few shots with F828 during last exibition in Suntec, I feel the AF is quite slow (IMO), may because of the indoor lighting. No complaints abt build quality, superb.
F828 pictures at dcresource show noise in shadow areas, may not be an issue when reduced.
Take a look at these images

These shots are all taken at
ISO 64, so I've little concern here..
I prefer to see ISO100 pictures to judge noise performance. A camera
of this range should give you clean pictures upto ISO200 atleast.
If you like them, just go ahead. The picture quality and performance
should not differ too much from any prosumer cam. There's no a single best camera, it all depends on your personal taste, preferences and what you're willing to spend.
Good luck for you new digicam and wish you a enjoyable trip.
