fong i believe that the only difference and once again i can be wrong but are the number of spikes on each light star

oh forreal? damn i didnt know that. how long was your shutter speed? i tried it on mine and nothing happened. hahaOriginally Posted by Mr Fongstarr
What do you mean? The spiked out lights (don't know the photo terminology for it). You just need to shot with a longer aperture. I forget what it was at but I think it was at 12 or 13. Someone can do that photo info thing for me......Originally Posted by mjbetch
whoa.. how did you get the light effect on that pic? i know you didnt have a filter. haha nice shotOriginally Posted by Mr Fongstarr
Some weak stuff:
First one I didn't have a tripod so I had to sit it on a barrier but other one I didn't a line it straight in my view. I should have been more on that path on the bottom.
Speaking of that, do different lenses do different shapes? On my fisheye, they really get sharp as apposed to my canon kit that I did that with.
nice deal man!Originally Posted by NIMO007
Picked up an a200 at circuit city. Regular Price 500... got it for 300

I usually get shots with the light effect like that from long expsoures. The shots below are from one night when I was just messing around with exposurelengths at night around campus. I believe that both of these were 30 seconds.
Edit: I just noticed that the second one I posted was taken at ISO 800...I feel like a moron.

I've read many reviews, and am getting it to replace my xti kit lens. I never really use the kit lens past 30-40mm anyways, so I think the 17-40 will be good for me.
how long have you had it for? is it still holding up?Originally Posted by backtotheknown

Pretty much...it's all about compensation. There isnt really a magic setting to achieve those effects, it all depends on how bright the sceneis and weather can also have an effect (fog). I've taken night shots from 3 secs-8 secs of exposure from f/11-f/22 and get that effect.Originally Posted by ATMOSfere

SMALLER APERTURE (BIGGER NUMBER i.e. f22 > f11), balance it with a longer shutter to attain the correct exposure as others have stated. The number of "spikes" is dependent on the number of aperture blades the lens contains.
what? what are you talking about? lolOriginally Posted by elboricua 6
long im not meaning to double post its yuku and/or my phone .. u want one? lol
mjbetch just cause u set ur aperture to f22 doesnt mean squad ... im certain it has more to do with exposure .. i get starts all the time with longer exposures ... then again im using the 17-55 and canon 10-22 for most of them n sometime the sig 30 1.4 .. also be carefull with such a high aperture .. its probably not going to be sharp or should i say as sharp as a bigger aperture ...

Dude...return the Sony. Take the $300 and put it towards a Canon or a Nikon. Plus more lenses to get from those two brands then Sony stuff.
This is the first entry-level camera we've seen in 2008, so it's quite possible that we'll be back to reevaluate the Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 more favorably in the context of its competition. But for now, there are better, more interesting models from earlier years whose prices are dropping into its territory; the Nikon D40x or Canon EOS Rebel XTi if you're willing to forgo the image stabilization, or the slightly more expensive Pentax K10D if you're not. You can even opt for the similar and still-available two-year-old Alpha DSLR-A100, if you don't shoot a lot at high ISO settings, and put the money you save toward a better lens.
The good: In-body image stabilization; supports wireless flash.
The bad: Loud; Sony doesn't have a stable of inexpensive lenses for consumers; oddly located, proprietary USB connector.
The bottom line: The Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 is a solid entry-level dSLR that doesn't really stand out in its very competitive field

all i'm saying is that damn, that's a pretty clear shot for 3 seconds hand-held at night
