Confusion

Lately, I've been bitten by a bug called Alpha Upgrade Bug. It somehow carries a disease that been known to cause serious confusion and cravings of camera body upgrading.


I've just been bitten by that bug. And after coming back from a gathering last night, I was even more infected. And now I'm feeling the confusion. And sometimes, I can't even sleep soundly at night unless I think about the next Camera Body Upgrade I'm getting.


Currently, I'm still using my trusty Sony α200 body with the Vertical Grip (VG-B30AM). Sometimes I wonder, Why did I buy the vertical Grip in the first place? Cause honestly, It is underutilized. And I'm even planning on selling it sometime soon.

My Trusty Sony Alpha 200

After the release of the new α550 and α850, I'm seriously torn now. And with the α700 being discontinued, I'm at a total loss now. But after testing and holding my friend's α550 and α700, I'm seriously still in love with the the way the α700 feels in my hands and how comfortable it is. And I'm honestly am not a big fan of Live View. And with the α550's Live View and tilting screen, I'm somehow still eagerly awaiting the arrival of the α700's replacement, rumored as in the form of the α750.

The Brand New Sony α550

My Heart's Desire, The Sony α700

So, right now, even though I'm still Confused and Lost, I've decided that my next upgrade would be either an α700, if I can still find someone who's selling it brand new, or keep saving and get the soon to be released α750. I just hope that the α750 would be priced as much as the α700 when it was first released.

So, now my current goal would be to get all the Full Frame Lenses to cover my needs later on. When I do UPGRADE to Full Frame.

Here's some wish list:

-Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG ASPHERICAL HSM

-Sony SAL-2470Z 24-70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* or Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG MACRO

-Sony SAL-70200G Zoom Telephoto AF 70-200mm f/2.8 APO G(D) SSM or Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 DI LD (IF) Macro Fast AF 

-Tamron Telephoto SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro

-Sony SAL-135F18Z Telephoto 135mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 

-PocketWizard Plus II. Minimum 3pcs

-Sony HVL-F58AM

-JinHui VS-300 Twin Flash Umbrella Studio Light Kit Set. (So far, only available at Shashinki.com)

So, wish me L-U-C-K!

And just to inform, My next Dream.... A Longggggg way to go..... And Please, No Questions about why I choose Sony over the other brands. My Camera, My Choice. Thank You.
