My DSLR

Inspired by my compact digital camera, Casio EX Z750, I began to think about upgrading from a compact camera to a DSLR. Although post processing / editing can be done by software, some elements still ain't up to my satisfaction making myself eager to own a DSLR.

My First DSLR is an entry level DSLR, Sony Alpha 200.

With Sony Alpha, I had obtained these followings lenses to support my photography needs :-

1. Sony Kitlens 1870
2. Minolta 50mm F1.8 (Crossed X)
3. Minolta 70210 F4 (beercan, which you can see on the picture above attached to the A200)
4. Sigma 1020 F5.6 (Ultra Wide Lens)
5. Tokina ATX 400mm (Prime 400mm Lens)
6. Tamron SP90 1:1 F2.8 (Macro Lens)

And as I was very happy with Sony Alpha, in a year plus, I had upgraded my Alpha body from Alpha 200 to Alpha 550 somewhere in early 2010.


Just about a year using the Alpha 550, again I had decided to make an upgrade. But only this time, I had decided to 'jump' from Sony to either Canon or Nikon. Why? I love Sony and I love Minolta's range of lenses but I guess that I need to migrate to another system due to 2 factors that I would discuss on one of my future post.

And as decision had been made, I sold off all my Sony / Minolta related gadget and I am now using a Nikon D300. Still on my learning curve on features + buttons on Nikon system as it is totally different from what that I am used to before.
