Bulldog just got his A350... Than he said he goin to get a A700. He told mi in order to get good photos one must have a good camera body. For this I disagreed. I told him to get a better lens like the Cz 85, 135 or 24-70.... :knock:

So the topic is open for discussion... To get lens or upgrade again (for Bulldog) to a A700... :bounce: :sweat:

No doubt a better eq can help in picture quality. But I would say, play around with what u have first. Wait til one day if you think that your camera is limiting you. Then go for upgrades.

If really kenna BBB virus deep deep, i would say go for lenses first. :D

Just my 0.000002 cents. Bro bulldog and Bro Ming dun :knock: me.

Tell the TS to sell his S5 Pro Body & D200 , use A100 with his GOOD CZ Lenses lor ! :knock: :neener:

You have touched it today , how it feel ? Since you have upgraded from A200 to A350 , why not take another step to fully enjoy the Power of APS-C Sensor on A700 . Or you are thinking to go FF also ? :roll:

:cheer: A700 is Good ! :cheer:

With Bulldog's current LLU (Lenses Line Up) , he is very contented . He is not the kind to go for all the New & Fast Lenses or Powerful Body ... Anyway , Sony so far only got one Power Body which is the A700 . He will shoot with what he has in hand happily everyday . :thumbsup:

I have a A700. Now downgrade to A300. I use the Sony kit lens, too. I do not find my picture is worst. Low end camera can take great picture with good photographic knowledge and skill. A good equipment allow ones take even greater pictures provide ones have good photographic knowledge and skill to handle it.
Finally, if one has good photographic knowledge and skill, any camera they use, even a compact or handphone camera, they can produce great works as he/she know how to play within the limitation of the camera.

Buy one you can afford now and learn photography properly under a good "shi fu". You and your pictures will be great.

I'm not trying to be funny.. I thought everyone agreed that a good photo depends on the photographer and not equipment? :knock:
