QUOTE(Braynumb @ Jul 24 2009, 08:34 AM) I doubt the price would be any different from SS.. usually they open on behalf of the store anyway... so, they don't quite have the authority to lower prices... Ic....i'll try to go today n see what they can offer...thx for the info btw...

QUOTE(hazril @ Jul 25 2009, 01:53 AM) M mode u set the shutter and aperture ur own...so the exposure is up to u how u want it....do read up the manual....i think the manual covers the M mode as well if not mistaken....  ya i did, once i put into M mode, the ev goes to metering mode...so i calculates the exposure automatically....so i cant seem to change it...
