That is correct, all Canon EOS has built in motor. Unlike us Nikon users have to get the higher end ones.

Thats Nikon evil plan to get us all to change into higher end model

hur? Then I was confused, I thought entry lvl Canon doesn't have AF motor. Then AFAIK all Sony have AF motor, don't tell me don't have ar?

hi there, i'm using a Nikon D40 now, bought it earlier this year for Photography Studies. i think i need an upgrade liao. is there any new zooming lens suitable for my D40? like the lens for the D80 & Canon 300D? Need professional advice here

coz i think my dslr zooming not very powerful liao D:, unlike my digital camera

All Canon models have AF motor, I'm not sure about Sony's.

Any1 know where 2 get a good screen protector for my D40X?
I've been looking ard 4 ages but cant find a good 1.
Trying 2 find a glass type like d Giottos 1 or d standard Nikon clip-on type tat low end Nikons dun hav.

Search for GGS screen protector, I use it on my D90. Works very well, and you probably won't notice there's a protector there.

how powerfull u want?? and how much ur budget??
digital camera can zoom how much
i tot those digital camera zoom are useless?? coz usually after zoom the quality turn down...

sigma 18-250mm OS...
around rm2k++++

When Canon implemented AF they decided to go straight to the focus motor in the lens which is called EOS (Electro Optical System). Canon EOS models do not have an AF motor in the body but have contacts to the AF motors in the lens much like Nikon AF-S.

Me newbie, but just wanna know what lenses are you using. Mind to share with us?

hehe, don't look down on Digital camera especially compact nowadays, very hightech liao, unlike those days 3.2mp, zoom really sucks.
Try Lumix TZ-7, TZ-10 for now perhaps, hehe, I got shocked at the sharpness of it.

swt, Canon has AF motor on ALL their LENSES la
they uses a standard system, focusing mechanism on lenses
so ALL Canon bodies dun have AF motor in body, even the high end 1D/1Ds

d5000 user reportin in !!...

btw guys , is nissin 622 flash worth buying?

Yaya, that's what I mean. Coz I heard from my cousin as well, he said his Canon 1000D body got no AF motor.

welcome to the dark side~
if u r on budget, of cos Di622 worth buying
no matter how an external flash is way better than pop-up flash

Canon all lenses have AF motor, Sony all bodies got AF motor
only Nikon give us headache

well sorry i'm still a bit noob in using the D40, just a basic dslr camera for a beginner student like myself . forgot to tell u tat my zooming lens is 18-55mm, 1:35. 5-5.6GDII. i know it aint good enough, coz i know i need more than tat T^T. and hey digital camera's aint useless D: lol i use digicam for camwhoring ;p.

wow >_<;;, mine's only 18-55mm liao D:. around rm2k++ yeah? looks like i gotta start saving up for it, thanks yea V

worth but the i-ttl is quite underexpose when using direct flash...need to manually tune the flash...

Today went pcfair, wanna look for Ultra/Extreme cards. Damn expensive. RM139 for 8GB Ultra.
Even the D90 price is...
