The 70-200 F2.8L is selling for RM6200 cash. Others I am not sure.
L-series are lens differ in their contruction and optical elements. The anti-vibration term for Canon is IS (Image Stabilizer) and Nikon VR (Vibration Reduction).

No no ... stands for Luxurious and Lensi lenses ... long, hard, cold and white Babes Magnets

Reason? Simple ... follow Canon
The Nikon 'white lens' is actually 'Light Grey' ... you only have to look closer.

For the price difference, if I would be going for better megapixels (better quality) and bigger LCD screen (clearer preview), the EOS 400D is definitely a better investment compared to its previous model. You've got nothing to loose.

Put it this way, the price of the 350D will go down even FURTHER after you purchase ... as long as it's still in the market, people will still sell it at a price. Either way you will regret purchasing the camera in the end if you keep on going for a lower price.

... which is a good choice

Correct ... it's the price

Let the sales person know and test another one

1 Utama Shong Lee will sell you one immedietly IF the price is right ...

Yeah, it's cash price. Credit card add 2% and Zero Percent Installment add 4%.

During film time I used Nikon, digital time using Canon

I dropped in yesterday after shooting my friend's fashion show, I dun have their contact number. D80 dun bother to ask ... RM4000+ package not very attractive to me.

Currect prices :
Canon EOS 30D + Kit Lens + Batt. Grip RM5,650.00
Canon EOS 400D + Kit Lens + Batt. Grip RM4,200.00
Canon EOS350D + Kit Lens RM2700.00

All cash prices.

The EOS 400D's LCD will switch off the moment you hold up the camera body to your face. I find Alpha's auto rotate function rather useless, the moment you hold up the cam for shooting you won't look at the LCD already, rotate or not does not matter. The fonts also another thing, biggie and huge like Olympus E-series ones. They compensate having not much to display with huge fonts.

The 400D has more to display at any time than Alpha, Nikon and Olympus. The professional photographer always wanna spend more time seeing what he is shooting and all the relevent details of his shots than scrolling thru menus and pressing buttons.

I will it will drop more as retailers get more desperate to sell.

Yeah, branded and 'chapalang' ones almost same price

So many talk here and no one actually bought one right?

Canon EOS 350D Body with Kit Lens now going for RM2700.

Canon Malaysia kept the prices of the grip all time high since the debut of the 350D, which I already suspected that the NEXT model would definitely benefit from. The retail price of the battery grip is going anywhere between RM650 - RM899 depending on WHO and WHERE you bought it and under what terms (Cash/Credit card).

I suggest to those who are getting the 400D full package (Body + Kit Lens + Grip) to bargain as much as possible and dun try be a smart-allect asking for the price of body, then the price of lens and finally the price of the battery grip ... you will be thrown a total price so low you'll be too embarassed to walk away from the shop without paying for the 'free' stuff you're entitled to originally i.e CF card, camera bag or tripod.
