anyone found 400d street price?

For budget's sake, I suggest you change to the new 400D, which have lotsa similiarities to compared to the 30D. If you dun have lotsa lenses I suggest you sell off your D70s and 50mm while they still fetch a good price and get the 400D with EF18-55mm Kit Lens. That's changing from 6MP to 10MP you know ... poison poison poison ...

Finding out for you ... mostly quoted are in USD, will let you know the Malaysian pricing.

Do they still give the free lense (90-300mm) or (75-300mm)? i think with that price maybe u can squeeze more on the freebies i.e bigger slr bag etc. For ur info 350D using CF card not SD
welcome to our canon family!

Sorry sorry yeah, it's CF card, my mistake
Wahhh ... lek_e30 also welcoming people to the Canon family already

Actually, if the 400D is in fact RM 3.6K, I'm definitely spending the extra RM 600 to get it. I like the bigger LCD display. and someone mentioned that the AF is much improved on 400D. So yeah, I think I'll eat an extra month of grass just to get the 400D.

Bwahahaha, good one there. But you're forgetting that the D80 comes with

- D200 large viewfinder
- 11-area AF system (new version of Multi-CAM 1000, similar to D200)
- Improved high ISO (based on what i've seen)
- In camera tweaking (D-lighting, image overlay, multiple exposures, color modes)
- Upgraded wireless flash support (CLS)
- Manual kelvin temperature

Must counter poison... lol. I'm sticking to the dark side thank you

Nice try as well ... but actually I am not directing the poison at you. I know you're a Nikoner for good.

I am trying to target those poor souls out there who're still deciding whether to dump their 6MP D70/D70s to change over to the new 10MP Canon EOS 400D or not. I am sure there're many out there based on my observation during 2006 KLIMS and the 2006 Japan GT at Sepang.

"It's cheap-mah, buy lor!" is the answer I always get when I ask "Why Nikon D70?"

Canon made the next turn after Nikon this time in terms of releasing the EOS 400D simply becoz they (Canon) wanna be in the midst of the '10MP hype' that Nikon created days ago and it felt really good to see 1st hand all the photo enthusiates whacking up the units, some without even thinking.

Those who started with the D50 and then got poisoned and strayed into the D70s should be too tired to invest by now, driven only by pure enthusiasm and have not gained any experience in shooting. The D80 is going to be just another heartache. Good news, nonetheless, to the D70s users, who are ever more willing to dump their units for the D80, but I suggest you keep your D70/D70s as a second unit. By the time the D80 is out, your D70/D70s is worth next to nothing.

Most of the Canon EOS 350D user I met recently said "Bang head lar ... 350D 0% interest haven't finish serving the 400D come already! Ayoooo..." If you're one of those, consider yourself lucky. This time round, you have plenty of time to get yourself a 2nd camera body should Canon Malaysia decides to introduce the body-only package later! I made mention about this to the Canon folks months back and they said it won't happen to the 350D ... lil' that I know they did it with the 400D.

On the other hand, the 10MP hype was also prominent in the point-and-shoot segment, but I bet the consumers would've gone "Nah ... why do I need a 10MP for? Not going to print a poster what!" So ... they decided for themselves.

Well you were quoting me in your reply..

But anyway, i feel that it's the same thing in the nikon and canon camp this time around. They are both targeting at the market segment created by Sony A100. What the 400D is to 350D is the same as D80 to D70s.

My 2 cents is that if you have not outgrown your old camera there is really no need for a new one. If you need a second body to work with, the new body should be a nice candidate.

Cheers

Guys, I just gave Boeing (Sungei Wang) a call and they have the 400D for RM 3150 (lens kit included)

Is that a good price or what?

woah. not 3.6?

Sigh ... Well, I have actually outgrown MYSELF

I asked Times Square's Bintang Maju last week Sunday and they said they dunno the price

really? holy sheet... now the poisoned has entered my bloodstreams n no cure.

[edit]is there a roadshow launch for canon 400D? i wish 2 test it out.
