if it is for walk about lens.
it's a very good lens.
it is sharp yet can produce bokeh. good option.
however sometimes got focusing issue especially in low-light condition therefore you got to test on it.

thanks alot!!

s90 or s95 ?


I'd like to buy one of these cameras, and was just wondering if there was a significant difference between them. I'll probably buy the S90 because since it is an older version, it is cheaper. But I was wondering if there was a significant improvement in the S95 compared to the S90, because in that case I might be willing to pay extra for it.

Canon Powershot S95. Smaller design, can be put into jeans pocket. Features are about the same compared to Canon Powershot G12 and Panasonic Lumix LX5.

4.5k can nicely get you 1 D7000 with a very good iso performance even at high level.

wat you guys think of a canon 7d with 18-135 and 50m 1.8 with cpl?

Erm, other than the price, nothing else? Lol.

Should I choose 550D kit with 18-135 or 550D kit with 18-55 + additional 55-250?

And what is the cheapest price I can find in Lowyat for 550D kit with 18-135? Usually what free things can I get?

With kit, i think around 2.7k or lesser perhaps. Not 100% sure.
18-135 is indeed more expensive, then you need to ownself go search.

Free things? Cleaning kit, mem card and bag perhaps. Throw in some cheap tripods as well.

Canon EOS 60D or EOS 550D with kit 18-55mm. Low light, get a large aperture lens like 50mm f/1.8 for budget wise. But never consider to replace a flash unit with large aperture lens. Flash is more superb. By the way, high ISO will cause your pictures contain a lot of noise.

What do you mean? By the way the kit and the 50mm is good enough already. What else do you want?

I prefer Canon EOS 550D with kit 18-55mm, costs like RM2800; with additional 55-250mm, costs like RM800-RM900. For 18-135 package is around RM3600 or RM3700. Freebies you get will depends, mostly like card, bag, and small tripod. Remember to bargain for more.

Thx for the suggestion..so i guess nowadays these are really the high-end compacts which are one level below DSLR in performance..did some research and those were the only models that pops up..

Planning to get this for my GF's birthday. Any one have comments on this one? Retails at RM899 here.

canon 550D + 1855 will cover most of your need except tele.
therefore I suggest you to play with 1855 1st. IMHO IQ 1855 is better than 18135. you may consider it.
later you can try better lens compare to 18135.
