what the purpose of a macro lens?? sorry la abit noob..i dont really get it about the 1:1 thing..

I love it. Tested by taking pictures of my dinner and I am simply blown away by the IS.
The price of 135 F2 is around 2.7k ringgit. Can get lower if you have time to go whole of HK to look for it.
It comes from my pocket and the jobs I do 

Model = 550D
Remote control = Meiko

When I press on remote control, it directly auto focus and take a photo.
How to enable it with remote control + timer?
Means, after I press on remote control, photo will take after few second (not directly).

Need some advise, thanks.

I just try it, timer is working, but not working with remote control.
One more thing, as normal timer, there are 2sec timer and custom timer (2sec-->10sec),
but the custom will take continuous shooting.

Question:
1) how to enable 10sec with one shoot? (by finger press on shutter button and IR remote control)
2) how to enable/set take photo with IR remote control with 2sec delay?

Model = 550D
IR Remote control = Meiko

Anyone can help 

It's an add-on filter.

Came back from MV, had lunch and tea with my best friends. Snapped a few photos but not really up to my expectation. Then, I decided to record a video and send it over to our best friend in France. Not sure what was happening earlier, the video stopped at 30s, then it was OK. The first video kaotim, then we thought we wanna further enhance it with our second video, manatau it went poof-ed when it was my turn to speak.
Batteries juiced out.

I think I'll get a 16GB Class 10 just for HD video.
And maybe an extra battery too.
My battery indicator still showed two bars when I recorded the videos.
Never mind la, 3 batteries should do the job.
Which free video editing is recommended for Win 7?

I would get the 16-35 for it having more practical use, the fisheye is a specific lens and when overused it will look boring. Unless you get both

Ignore the price difference? I grabbed the threesome UWAs namely 16-35 II, 15FE, and Siggy 12-24. Waiting to add 8-16L to make em foursome!

you could always opt for the mark 1, which is only 3k?

selling it because I've been keeping it in the dry cabinet, might as well let someone else utilize it 

Advise pls.

Taking photo of a person in broad day light.

Using Av: shuttter speed is 1/1000. Photo outcome: back ground is OK, but person's face dark.

I turn ON flash: the shutter speed is automatically switch to 1/250 (flash sync speed). OUtcome: person's face is OK, but background over expose.

Under such situation, what is best to solve this??

Help and advise pls.

Yeah... and now I'm so enamored by Iphone4.. ZERO shutter lag 

Hahaha. Friend just called, we might be going to Penang on 31.12.2010.

Let's see.

If budget allows go get the 60D with kitlens III... 60D is also known as Super Rebel... extra features.. If u get canon kitlens u no need to fear the back/front focus of the 3rd party lenses... Since 60D didn't offer micro-adjustment like it's predecessor, the 50D

Hahaha. My friends are complaining about my camera, too heavy for them.
We tried to camwhore, my left hand nearly broke into half with 580EX II attached.

Oh yea, forgot to mention with BG that has 2 batteries.
I think I will have arm ache after that.
I brought my noodle cup diffuser, too heavy to camwhore so I took it out.

Cannot camwhore with DSLR, really tangan can patah one.
Got time I wanna weigh how heavy it is when with all stuffs attached.

The diffuser is like mee in my mug wan is it? That plastic so heavy meh?

Yeah, get a Leica.
Luckily I also don't really like camwhore one...
OK, I was thinking mine is 2KG, seeing yours, mine should be much lighter.

Here is one from me. Just got back from photoshoot this morning with redcross.

kesian u always left behind

How do you know "always" when none of us knows?

I doubt Canon would do so. They rather concentrate in selling new units than making it easier for users to circulate used bodies around.
yea, din ajak

Go back already. Awaiting my new toy.

I shall open a thread about that soon.
Yes, will be after 1st because I'll be only free after 10th.
