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. sad.gif

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? tongue.gif

It's Tokina and not Tonika... sweat.gif

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 VC are two different ranges lenses, how can be compared like that? smile.gif

Tokky is an Ultra Wide Angle lens whereas Tammy is Wide to Mid-zoom lens. smile.gif

550D is very light? Yeah, because it is not made by magnesium alloy body but when I attach it with my battery grip, Tammy 1750VC and 580EX II, it really carries some weights now. laugh.gif

At least those people that hold my camera said that it is heavy... To me, I'm still OK with it. smile.gif

ooo... icic.... So both are different range of lenses? I heard from seller that this one Tokky can be used for full frame. Is it correct? Tokky ultra wide angle can be used for portrait photo taking right?

They said that 550D is suitable for girls. I think which is really really really suitable for u. ^^ Maybe you're right, attach the lense might be heavier. But seriously, I dont know why, the handling is so good when i hold the 50D. XD

Yes, can be used for FF if I'm not mistaken but then I think will be prone for vignetting. hmm.gif
UWA for portrait? No la not so suitable unless you wanna cover the background also la, it is for landscape and interior shots or maybe huge group shot. laugh.gif

550D is not so bad one la. tongue.gif
Anyway 50D is not a bad camera too, enjoy yourself and welcome to the world of poisoning. tongue.gif
Yeah, I don't hang it on my neck anymore. I sling it on my shoulder. laugh.gif

Haha... indeed.... this is really a world of poisoning. :S
Glad to join this canon camera club. tongue.gif
Hanging on neck really is a pain in a ass... You mentioned about sling on your shoulder, does it apply to the neck band?
