how much did you bought it for?

how much did you bought it for?

2nd hand around rm1.2k
its a great lens and affordable too

After 3 months of "struggling". From selection Sony 550-> Sony A55 -> Canon 50D -> Canon 60D -> Canon 550D. I end up getting 50D.... LOL.... with tamron with VC. Seller recommend me the Tonika 11-16mm F2.8 lense, but i end up getting tamron with vc due to out of budget.

At first i have already decided to choose 550D.. But until i reach the shop and test each camera and found out that....

1) 550D is really light..... real real light.... light until I'm unable to accept it as DSLR. LOL.

2) Test on the HD video... In fact I would rather get camcorder for better quality and longer recording.

3) The handling on 50D is really good..... It feels good when I'm holding it. 550D.... you know lah... 60D..... its "OK" to me... but i think 50D has more feel on it.

4) Function of 50D is really awesome... Lots of stuff that i can play with.... and I'm still learning it.

This is my thought during purchasing the dslr. Tonika lense really looks awesome, if comparing tamron f2.8. I found out that tonika has more quality than tamron after comparing both pic taken live in the shop. (My thoughts)  But price is like RM800 more expensive. T__T

Conclusion: Join Canon Fans Club gang~~~, finally.... got lots of stuff to learn from guys like you all who has taken so much quality photo. I might post some photo here and need you guys to guide me. XD Or anyone has the photo taking guidance video or ebook?

ahh good try but you have a long way to go in composition.

one thing for sure - # of people on the table DOES affect your photos. a bunch of hungry friends pressure you to finish taking photo, make sure you can focus. sometimes they affect the shadow and such in the background or even the sources of light to the food.

Did you use a wide angle lens? The perspective looks distorted.

Actually with the 550D body, battery grip with 2 batteries, tokina 124 and flash gun. damn heavy =.=

you feel that heavy... try carrying 1d mark iv + 70-200L is usm + 580ex speedlite......then.....hang it on your neck for like 6 hours for a photoshoot....

it feels glorious for about 3 hours... another 3 would be either putting it on the table or soaking in sweats 

yours even heavier... just now he said 550D very light mah

eh 550# with grip, lens and flash on is not light.

camcorder for better video? hehe, i had both, prefer dslr video.

If want to take 1 hour length of video, will u plan to use dslr? I worry it might overheat lolz

guys, whats the street price for 60d currently? gona buy it in december

Guys, i have a budget of RM3500. I should get a 60D with 18-55mm or a 550D with 18-135mm?

Does the 18-135mm better than the 18-55mm in terms of sharpness and image quality?

i would recommend 60d for versatile way of snapping picture...the flip screen really is helpful
