Although i'm new in DSLR, i think telephoto need VR/IS more then UWA... cause before this i'm using FujiFlim S1500 with 12x optical zoom.... When at max zoom i must be vy still to snap a photo... Lol

Yup, it comes with a hood. Unlike cheap Canon, only give hoods for their L lenses

It's the most basic knowledge actually. But that sifu with uber expensive 16-35 lens says he knows better coz he got expensive lens.

Then you also should show him ur guns i mean lenses mah(pawn him).. u go play with him somemore

correct.

logic is simple, more you zoom mean the greater magnification of your movement.

stabilization is to reduce the impact of the magnification.

you can try Canon 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS and immediately you'll see the impact across the focal length.

I fisherman only with Canon Powershot better dont play play with the sifu that have 16-35mm f2.8 lens. Kakaka.

this fisherman got hidden arsenal, pirate pun takut...

The distance scale and infinity point is accurate on APS-C, APS-H and 35mm full frame. The crop factor does not change the subject's distance from your camera's focal plane. Only the perceived focal length changes because the side of the images are not being sensed.

problem solved with purchasing new memory card 16GB class 6 lol can shoot more than 5 sec of Full HD now with 550D

Hi i'm new here.I never use DSLR before but planning to get a EOS 550D Kit II (EF S18-135 IS).How much is the price range or actual price?

ginolo:Thanks for the information.For that kit is it good enough?I want to take car model like scale 1/18 and 1/43.Wht else normally they give in that packages?

Get a 50mm F1.8 prime lens

-kytz-:Is that a package included 50mm F1.8 prime lens?Then if the Kit II (EF S18-135 IS) is upgraded or included in packages?

Err, i think that 18-135 suit lotsa shootings. The angle is quite wide too, the zoom also not bad. And i think the kitlens is enough for you to take those scale.
what else comes with packages?

body with cap
kit lens with cap but no hood
E8 battery
neck strap
usb cable
CD, manuals

additional one from shop should should be
memory card
sling beg
cheap and unstable tripod
screen protector?

ginolo:Thanks for the information...wht is the size memory card?I'm not sure leh....a shop selling Rm3600 just for me..and i don't know yet wht else they will give in the packages...is it a good deal?How about warrenty?

for such thing you gotta ASK at your own, and try to ask for more freebies since 3600 street price is just okay. Ask them in DETAIL that what does they give you as freebies. remember always ask for more(cheapskate indeed )

for warranty ah? should be official one, you can register online for the 2 more years extra warranty.

If ure not sure of what is given in the package the shop offer u, How on earth are we to judge if its a good deal or not?.. Think u sud be a lil' more serious if ure gonna buy such expensive camera.

Usually shops will bundle with 4GB SD card. normal speed.

Canon Malaysia offering 2+1 years warranty now.

ginolo:Sure i will ask for more freebies...;)Thanks bro.
