But the SAL18135 is worth at least ~ $330 ebay true auction Wink

.. But yeah I would wait around for a better A57 deal.

erm.....a77 has a much better view finder then the a57 here and is a better camera.
if you sell them, you can still get $1.1k-$1.2k or so after fees

A77 is a much more advanced camera than the A57 and A65.

i agree too, a77 is much better and I think 1k is a pretty good price. I have EPP too , is the gift card promo over? and what cash back did you use?

Also I am going a trip in like 2 weeks and want to buy a camera before that.

The Sony EPP gift card promo ended on 12/29, and it offered a free $20 card for each $100 purchased.

A65 has more noise, especially noticeable at high ISO. 18-55 blows. Get the 18-135 lens.

The A77 is more advanced, but it's also significantly larger, significantly more expensive, has more noise than the A57 at high ISO, and professional users have reported problems with the flash exposure that Sony has no fix for. In fact, some users have purchased expensive Metz 58 external flashes to address the problem. Those are the reasons I went with the A57, which is very well reviewed.

Not really concerned with its high iso and flash exposure 'problems' as I use Manual flash with 3 flash setup indoors. I bought the A77 because I like the weather sealing, I can get the 16-50 2.8 'kit lens' cheaper that way, and the most important thing for me was the ability to do Microfocus adjustments.

Yes, the microfocus adjustments are nice, not available in A57 or A65 for that matter. I would like to see Sony improve on the feature by allowing separate adjustments at both ends of a zoom lens, as Canon offers on one of their higher end models IIRC.

cipher20 L1: Learner Original Poster Member sinceNov 2011 Posts22 Reputation 10 Followers 0 + Give Rep	would it be a good idea to jump on this 1 if I really need to buy a camera urgently? I am thinking of buy the 18-135 lens since it will work well for all purpose use atleast for sometime. and the cheapest bundle for a57 + 18 135 is approx $800. I may get it for a little cheaper i look around on ebay and get the body and lens seperately. TIA
