I got the 50mm 1.8 for RM299 together with the camera purchase. Quite a worthwhile investment if you want to shoot objects. Not sure if it works well for portraits as I have not found a test subject yet.

Sure you can, 50mm on your crop sensor will become medium telephoto, e.g. 50mm X 1.6 = 80mm.
Try taking shots with spotlights as background (e.g. Christmas tree), shoot at f/1.8 or f/2, you'll get very nice bokeh from the spotlights.

N8 vs 550D. Looks like I will have to play more with the camera before I can improve.

Your 550D using the 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, sure better loh; With wide aperture, you can shoot in lowlight without flash, but you will get shallow depth on field (see your food not all focus, the depth is shallow).
N8 max aperture is f/2.8, so if low lighting, it'll need to lower the shutter speed and/or increase the ISO, or use flash.

True, true. But it's the N8 that made my DSLR bug bite me again. So end up buying one. rclxms.gif

I didn't know that the 50mm 1.8 can shoot at higher apertures. Will try it out. Thanks for the tip. Still need to do a lot more experimenting with the 550D to improve my skills. notworthy.gif

There are many factors affecting the signal strength,not mainly by the phone itself...
