Today’s ramblings
1. Sony a100 D-SLR
The Sony a100 came on sale today and Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara had a good 8-10 units on display for all those enthusiasts to get their grubby hands on. And I was one of them. Hahahahahha…. anyway. The cam is very nice in appearance and feels well built but the material quality on the other hand is… erm… dunno how to say. Lets put it this way, the material on the Sony does not feel as nice as those of the Nikon D200 and Canon 30D, but it is 1000x better than the material on the Canon Digital KISS (which in my opinion, has the cheapest material on any D-SLR). The menu layout is pretty simple and usable, but having 2 dials feels a bit weird. But all-in-all, the Sony is nicer than I had expected. But still, when it comes to D-SLRs, my preferred choices is still Nikon and Canon.
