    Non GT

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    Not in my experience....

     

    I've recently been a buyer, and i was looking for a while, it's totally a buyers market! People with non GT's were begging me to buy them... I could have bought a 23,000 mile 2005 for £8k.

     

    GT's were getting snapped up in days, for 1k more.... It was enough to convince me that non GTs are not worth it....

    Tesco Club Card vouchers... Supercar Experience

    When i went on one of these, the cars all felt slower than they should have been.

     

    The instructor admitted in the end that the cars were remapped to be a lot slower (safer) than normal.

     

    I went in an EvoX and it was running hardly any boost! :rant:

     

    You know what - i nearly asked the instructor if there was some ridiculous mapping on the lambo - it's like the 1st 3 gears only had 25% power... :thumbdown:

     

     

    I reckon it's Rife! They're all on super fuel efficient maps to cut costs :thumbdown:

    I've just gone for the 18-55mm lens. it's a good multi-purpose lens, and is supposed to be a very good one :)

     

    The only other specific lenses you can get are a 16mm wide angle, and an 18-200mm lens, but that costs £650 for just the lens! :scare:

     

    there are adaptors on ebay to use just about any existing lens you can find though B)

     

     

    But the 18-55 will do me fine (probably for ever) :lol:

    Check the retailer makes you eligible for the £50 cashback offer from Sony that's on till the end of August :)

     

    For example, i got mine from Amazon for £450, but you had to buy from them direct, not one of the other sellers on Amazon marketplace :)

     

    And Stew, it's much more than a bridge camera :) It has all the features of a DSLR, just smaller :)

    I know what you're saying, but this camera is perfect for me.

     

    I'm not a serious photographer, I just wanted a bit more capability than my bridge camera, and to learn a bit more about it all.

     

    This Sony has some fantastic features, and makes everything accessible and easy. 1080P video and things like the sweep panorama function are big pluses for me.

     

    and little things like with every shot, there's a slider for 'background blur' where you simply turn the dial to adjust the depth of field, without having to delve into a load of settings, and it just works :)

     

    Plus it's nothing like a compact camera,where you press the button, and you get a picture 2 seconds later, it really is very quick :)

     

    Another great setting is Sony's low light handheld mode, where it takes 6 pictures and combines them to eliminate blurring in low light :)

     

    Love it!

     

    Unfortunately my SD card hasn't arrived yet, so i can only store one picture at a time :lol:
