Either way, I'm sticking to my trusty nifty fifty for the moment I love the 50mm too, used have the f/1.8 but sold it to finance a body upgrade. I think I'll go for the f1.4 next... maybe one day if money starts growing on trees, I'll manage to get a 1.2L

If not, will it means it becomes grey set in Malaysia? If anything happens, no warranty coverage? I think you really have to ask the guy your buying from if its an international warranty or not

Casual Senior Member 499 posts Joined: Apr 2008 From: Turkey	About the Di622, I havent really had the inconsistent light issue... well, I can't really compare its performance to one of the more expensive flashes but I think it does fine to fulfil my needs. My only issue is once in a while it doesnt fire in slave mode QUOTE(Xirality @ Nov 21 2010, 01:48 AM) any tips to prevent my dslr from snatch? i feel unsecure with canon strap. I always wrap the strap around my hand and wrist several times and hold the body firmly when I walk around with it, I never just leave it dangling

I am sure my path is no more than just a hobby... might aswell get the best combo.. and yes this is for a long term period... been thinking high and low then again. I want to know what people think too... Thanks in advance P/s: 1d mark iv is also a choice then again too pushing it maybe not so good... so maybe getting either L lens or 5d mark ii still a safer choice just incase it doesn't work out well pp/s: I'm not a rich kid just that I work my a$$ off for this type of situation... yeah I'm kinda do-it-all kinda guy... so I like to do a lot of things and get it to be perfect I'd say go for the 550D + L lens. 550D is a capable camera and im sure is great with an L lens. You'll know if or when you want to upgrade the body when you have more experience and understand more about DSLR. As far as I know, it doesnt really matter if you have a 1D mrkIV or a 1000D if you pair it with a useless lens. Watch this video on youtube, they discuss this dilemma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk5IMmEDWH4

Body plays a major role too in determining the IQ eventhough you are pairing with 'useless' lens. I wouldn't call one as useless, budget lens would be a nicer word. Even if you pair a budget lens with a superb body, you'll still see significant difference in the output. Well, I guess your right but I still think one can get better IQ/sharpness from the 550D + L lens combo rather than the 5D + 'budget lens' combo. plus I think the 550D would be less overwhelming to a new comer to DSLR, not too sure cause I've never used a 5D mrkII before to compare. @ComradeZ, 24-70mm f2.8L is my dream lens but I think il get the 24-105mm and some primes first, maybe upgrade to the 24-70mm later

In slave mode it has a wireless type feature, its not like proper wireless triggers, it detects you on-camera flash then fires at the same time (not 100% successful though)

I would suggest you get an average zoom lens something like 17-70mm or an 85mm prime lens and just get closer to what ever it is your trying to take pics of. otherwise try save up some more cash and get a Canon 70-200mm f4L (im sure sigma or tamron offer something in the same range, maybe for a bit cheaper)

Like a 70-200mm f2.8L IS ? I've people with 550D's using 24-105mmf4L and 24-70mmf2.8L they said they work fine but the cameras seemed rather front heavy for my liking

I think 24-70L balances ok both didnt have BG, I think it would have been better with a BG on. I think the 24-105mm felt better on it than the heavyweight 24-70mm but I guess its something you've got to get used to because the owners seem comfortable with them

I think th Sigma one would be a good choice or if your uncertain, look into different primes (just to compare, maybe you would like this focal length too), the 85mm f1.4 / f1.8 ones seem nice
