lol, I guess it depends on the person. Its good that they give us the option, instead of just replacing to the click-dial on all models

I hope they don't make it standard for future models ... indication seemed like they will (as per the 60D).

I usually shoot aperture mode but always have shutter mode dialed into a preferred-just-in-case emergency speed for those split second things.

By the way, does the utilities software provided by Canon a good to use?
Or maybe CS5? Damn the CS5 are so complicated.

Get necessities, forget desires biggrin.gif

Necessity is a travel zoom, maybe a low light prime and time for pp'ing for the average GWC imho. Of course this excludes professional work n those into a specific genre.
I had this thought when i shot those chicks a couple pages back.. Won't it be nice if i had a long prime n a flash that time? But will i be lugging all those out for a just in case thing?

Lens hood can benefit, mainly if you have strong light from the sides or angles. From my experience I would only really use on if im shooting out doors in the sun. Without it, pics may look less contrasty and maybe a little less saturated. But i think if your shooting indoors there will be no difference. if your not sure you want a proper lens hood, you can make your own, just get an opaque paper/manila and twist it around your lens end then staple it or sellotape it once you ensure it wont show in an pic you take. If you would like to look more pro, you can buy one too

the hood for 18-55 quite useless wan. Tak cantik also. I bought it cos gatal.. the only use is maybe to minimize accidently touching the lens tongue.gif

Wah.. this one very challenging to shoot leh.

Maybe you can share the EXIF for the pics?

I think you should've used spot metering, then dial down to even a stop of exposure compensation to get a faster shutter speed, at least 1/100 needed here. Then bring it up again in PP later. The background cars are distracting anyways.. you only need the lights to be shown right.
