Need advise guys...

Will a Sony Alpha 230 + 50mm F1.8 len a good upgrade for me??? Using LX3 currently..

yes it is..
but i'd rather stick to LX3 for some more time...
it's a very capable camera

save up for some more and get a proper dslr..

yo bro... if u choose the right lens, kx isnt that much bigger also

and u get a lot more photo quality with it when u bring it around

which is why i'm planning on getting this setup

lol the DA40 Ltd again.

when i doing research for dslr
i read somewhere tt for Sony, either get A380 or above (iirc the model no.)
else get other brand

I think now for Alpha should look at the A550 series. Else, a Canon 550D will be another choice for similar price range and with better features.

There should also be a wider array of lens to choose from for Canon mount (correct me if I am wrong).

300 and 200 series diff only is one got live view, one dun have.

Saw MScolor selling 599 very temp to hoot.

Now thinking whether GF1 or Nex 3.

GF1 cost 1.1K with a 14-42mm len. Nex3 cost 1K with a 16mm f/2.8 and a 18-55mm len. But with this amount, i can get a pentax K-x or a D3000 liao.
But im more to street taking le...thats why i brign out my cam everyday..if i got a dslr, this might be a problem. If i get a GF1 and Nex3, it cost more but iirc, performance wotn be as good as a dslr.

So ya...still thinking...

I heard the Sony NEX series has a bigger sensor (APS-C) sensor. So in terms of image quality should be somewhere close to DSLRs?

Haven't seen much reviews on this camera yet though.

Yes, prices of such cameras cost more than a SLR. Might not be worth unless you are concerned about size.

I am a street shooter also. I debated over the K-x for a very long time but decided that the weight (700g) was just too much for everyday use. I went with the Samsung NX10 instead. The 30mm pancake is very sharp and offers a good FOV. It is priced well also.

Which lens are you going to buy?

Which lens are you going to buy?

Default is 16mm f/2.8 and 18-55mm zoom lens included.

I think play with these 2 first...

Then if needed, i think should have a adapter to mount 50mm F/1.8..

Yup. =)

but I prefer you get a pentax which imo is better. =)
But of cos the choice is yours.

HK is nice. Love the food, timsum
Do you have any nice food pics?

Yup their food is nice. I'm sorry that I didnt took much pix as it had been raining over there since day 1 when I'm there. I will post the rest of the pix once I had more time to convert my Raw to JPEG.

Careful. 16mm (FOV - 24mm) is very very wide. It's more like a specialist lens for architecture shots or landscapes. Even "wide angle" cameras come with a minimum of 28mm. This pancake is not entirely suitable as an everyday walk-around lens unless you really know what you are doing.

hehe gong xi gong xi!

i agree, if you're taking street, size does matter

anyways, all the cameras have their pros and cons i guess

NEX is not bad, i tried it at the IT show..
