ow... hahaha I need your experience in handling it maybe should I say "What it can do for some task" and "What it can't do?" something like that? generally from experience... of course.. not technically

Generally speaking, it will do just about everything coz it's the best all rounder IMO. It's big, it's tough, it does everything FAST. Once customized to ur style of shooting, it snaps the instant u mash down the shutter button. There's no waiting, no lag. The AF locks on like a heat seeking missile almost instantaneously.

The price drains ur wallet fast but it sure is fast. I call it Speedy Gonzalez. Haha.

Why do I get the feeling that with every post you submit in this thread you're always insinuating something about Sony that's one way or another better than Canon?

The first thing that came into my mind when I read this was something about that new Sony camera, with that translucent mirror or something. If I remember correctly, one of its advertised features is that it has no mirror blackout. Are you actually going to cite that in a later post and say Sony > Canon?

I never implied that Canon was/is a perfect brand. In actuality I much prefer many aspects of a Nikon than Canon, but I won't get into that.

My point is that with almost every of your post in the Canon EOS threads it's always something about Sony has this, Canon doesn't, come join us etc. It's bordering "fanboyism" which I believe is prohibited? I don't have to go search up for your posts and quote them but...really. Why is it that some people have to try so hard? I remember once seeing someone (presumably a Sony user) putting something like "I don't support the popular brands and I'm proud to be a user of the underdogs, I'm a proud Sony user" or something in his signature. I can't really understand the point in making such a statement, one's own insecurity?
Oh does anyone know how much a 1D Mark II N can go for nowadays? I rarely see one for sale, if ever.

Haiyooooooooo the 1D is not using crop sensor to give more focal length la. Go read up properly regarding crop n FF. The reason why Canon use 1.3 crop on the 1D is because that is the limit for shooting at 10fps. If it was a FF sensor it would result in ghosting. The big sensor cannot discharge quick enough. Current technology does not allow Canon to go bigger than 1.3x at 10fps.

Wanna share one very useful iPhone app.. Lightmeter. It uses the iphone's camera to measure exposure and quite accurate. Am outside testing it along with my 550D

Thanks for the recommendations guys.

Yes, I currently have the 18-55mm but its too short for my style of shooting. AF speed is pretty darn slow and lack of contrast which i have to manually process in LR.

Thanks for the pix, looks good. Hmm, getting a good feeling about the 550d.
I was definitely thinking of getting a follow focus, and now that you guys put the focus thing in perspective, i get a better idea now

i already have 2 hdv cam, the sony fx1 and the sony v1u (im letting go of the v1u heh heh) so i was thinking something that could get me great snaps and full hd vid so i am not overburdened you know what i mean? that's just the economical part of me 

d7000? nikon, right? never considered a nikon, what's the price tag on that like?

is it possible to get everything in focus when taking long exposures photos?

I'm in Singapore now but I'm not sure where to go.

awesome poisonous place.

What so great about penisula plaza in SG?
Can get great cameras with good price? I am in SG now too....

Izit near the City Hall MRT there?
I searched Google Maps but seems tat place is abit of old building..

Since you like street shots so much, you should go lurking in Petaling Street, Bukit Bintang, this kind of areas.
Haha. I think everyday eat bread can only get Sigma 10-20mm which I'm already happy enough. See la, maybe I'll start eating bread till Sept next year, 1 day before the trip might manage to get an UWA.
