dunno much bout olympus E330 n E500 but i read in photo magazines the photos taken by E300 tends to undersaturate in almost all conditions  sweat.gif n olympus is using a unique four thirds (4:3) sensor so very hard oso to find a 4:3 lenses except for olympus lens themselves. but oso heard the zuiko olympus lens is growing kinda fast oso  smile.gif

The E500 is actually not bad. If you don't need ISO800 or above.
Currently in the four third bandwagon is Panasonic, Sigma & Olympus. Sigma does produce lense with 'four third' mount. And later after Panasonic launch its 1st dSLR, we might even see Leica lense with 'four third' mount.
BUT price is another issue lah.

I think maybe Canon offers better incentives/kickback for sales of the cameras eh? They do have the price margin and marketing money to do so.
*
Canon's marketing team's really aggresive.
Imagine the manager Mr Teoh bringing a team, giving talks, sponsoring events like touring M'sia.
Not to mention working overtime even on weekends.

With the 30D out, used 20D body is around the range of ħRM3500.

Btw, Vladimir's selling 30D body for RM4700.

dont think many 20d users will switch to 30d since the changes from 20d is not much. just add some megapixels....

FYI, no added megapixels.
It uses the same sensor as the 20D.
Most notable upgrades beside already mentioned is the 2.5" LCD which has a wider viewing angle. Better file management & browsing. Picture style presets. Continuous shooting can be adjusted between 5fps to 3fps.
For RM4700, it's a good buy, if you don't already own a 20D or D200.

i think i gotta move to D50 instead of D70s.. gotta save more for other accessories

if the RM2400 for D50 kit is true.
then u'd have RM1000 extra to spend on lens & other accessories.

Ask around Melaka, it's cheaper there.
Do go to those chain store like QS or Fotokem, visit those small individual shop.

Get only the camera kit & maybe filters there.
Accessories like bag, memory card, get elsewhere.

Nonsense. Who said Kingston CF not compatible with Nikon.
I'm using Kingston Elite Pro 1GB with D70.
It can store 293 shots for JPEG large fine.
And it's only RM125 @ PC Fair.

Sandisk CF is way too expensive. But yeah, if you're buying Nikon Digicam which bundles memory card, it's either Sandisk or Toshiba (normal speed). And I find the former is faster than the latter.

Agreed  rclxms.gif

A manufacturer can recommend a lot of things for their product.
Do we have to follow it blindly?

Eg. Nikon/Canon or whatever would also recommend you to use their charger, battery & other consumables. Do you follow?

Yeah, it's worth around RM600-850 depending on condition & how desperate the buyer is.
