LMAO@Kort!!! Yea right!! We saved for about 3 to 4 months to buy that cam!!! O_o Dreaming is allowed though! ;) LOL!
Sheila, now this is a fantastic feature indeed if Sony does it!!! But nothing can compare to my Canon 20D, even with a histogram displayed BEFORE shooting!! No way!!
Erskogly, thx for all those cool advice but it might be difficult to do when I'm in the street shooting moving people at random!! When I do "normal" shots, like still life or "posing" people shooting, I don't have those probs. I have time to start with so I don't mind shooting it 2 to 3 times before I got it right but for candids, there's no time for all this! It has to be right straight away or the shot is missed!!
I do have a grey card btw which I never use! I didn't find it very useful so far except in very difficult lighting condition.
As for metering mode, I mainly shoot in partial metering mode! I rarely use evaluative metering and I use center weighed when the lighting conditions are "normal" (easy!).
I will definitely have a look at those handheld light meters though! It sounds pretty cool to me and maybe even more accurate? Definitely have to look into that!
Thx to u all for ur help guys! U rock!! Yep! :)
