Doesn't matter Japan or Thailand lar. As long as it does what it's supposed to. My camera's made in the Phillipines, and my lenses made in Vietnam. And my sister doesn't need a true macro lens yet lar - a Sigma DC 17-70 should do, with its 20cm close-focusing abilities. Let her learn the SLR art first.

i oso wanna get 1 dry cabinet too but dunno they got sell or not scared later lens kena parasite by fungus then my heart crack...

ooh...memory card should be nice!! one free memory card per machine!! yay...hehe

basSist, dun forget the title~

Man... a feature from the d50 that's missing is the flash commander. Now i'm considering is it worth an extra RM1000 to upgrade to the d70s? decisions decisions....

Not to mention DOF preview ...

dunno bout depth of field preview control but seldom people use that control except for pros



first first i oso wanna get the D50 bcos it is 1000 bucks cheaper (tempting right? ) but after thinking, thinking n thinking, i think i rather go for the D70s instead bcos it is full of features compared to D50 n it came with a good lens 18-70mm lens. although in my opinion, the only thing i'm not satisfied with the D50 n EOS350D oso is the lost of the front dial. i love the 2 dials in my FZ30 so i'm used to using both of them in manual exposure

D50 came with 18-55mm lens but dunno whether it can satisfy u or not. a lot of people say it wont satisfy someone for long. sooner or later gonna change to other lens oso. mostly all change to the D70s lens which is 18-70mm. but that lens oso cost bout 900 bucks for first hand

but anyway choice is still up to u to decide if u feel that the D50 18-55mm lens is enough for u then u can consider D50. but if u plan to change to a better lens might as well get the D70s bcos it oledi comes with a good lens

When you guys all buying, I'd like to 'tumpang' a 58mm Skylight Filter.
Can?

DOF preview is critical for anyone interested in macro photography - not always pros. The DX 18-70 is a good lens - if you can afford it, by all means go for it. I find the range of a 18-55 range to be about enough for a kit lens, and I especially like the size savings.

It is a very good lens but I use my wide angle L lens more than it Just waiting for more money to get a telephoto L lens.

Its made in Japan.

Not made in Malaysia?
