Item(s): Sony A5000 Twin Lens Kit

Review:
Pros:
- A really good travel camera for those who wish to take photos of better quality than a normal compact/digital camera.
- Flip screen is perfect for those of you who love taking selfies (theres a timer delay for selfie after hitting the shutter release for you to pose yourself).
- Camera functionality is similar to that of a professional DSLR (aperture priority, shutter priority are available, and bunch of other shooting modes).
- Decent sensor size (affects quality of your image) compared to other compact/digital cameras.
- Has Wi-Fi connection to your smartphone (requires PlayMemories application to be installed) to transfer or to take photos.
- Able to shoot in Sony's raw format (raw - no compression means you're able to edit the photo without severe quality loss)
- Ability to change lens (this kit comes with a telephoto lens, and you may still get other compatible Sony E Mount lens if need be).
- Face and scene detection is available all the time.

Cons:
- Definitely heavier compared to normal compact/digital cameras due to the twin lens.
- For those point and shoot lovers, this might be a no no as you might need to switch lens in order to get a longer reach... unlike digital cameras digital zoom which gives u poor image at longer reaches..
- Lens size are smaller therefore Lens filters are probably harder to get and maybe expensive.
- No viewfinder (although most compact/digital cameras don't have one either), may be annoying when shooting in very glaring sunlight as the LCD display will most likely be useless.
- No hotshoe for external flash despite it coming with a built in pop-up flash.

Package includes:
- Sony A5000 Body (Like New)
- 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens (Like New)

Question about Knocking and Spray Painting

mxdesigns — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:35:26 +0800

Hi all,

Just would like to check, is it better to get my rear fender knocked and spray painted or should I just buy a replacement?

Currently being quoted RM500 for knocking and spraying my rear fender (body part above the rear wheel) and my rear door.

Not sure on what the price is like for getting a replacement so any feedback on the prices is appreciated.
