Crap... and i got the 350d around a month ago...

it was at RM 3050 with kit lense and another free 90-300mm lense
but the promotion is over now (the free lense)

not considering Nikon D70s?

The EF 75-300mm is great as a all-rounder telephoto lens, and it's cheap (<RM1000). The IS version would cost about RM1000-RM2000 more depending on the make, L lens construction or non-L lens construction.

Blurring at maximum focal length is actually not a lens problem, it's a user problem, let me explain. The way the user hold the lens is very important. At 300mm for a non-IS or non-internal focusing lenses, hold as far as poosible at the lens barrel to assist stability and keep the camera as close to your body as possible. In all cases, do not hold the lens at the focussing ring coz at AF, the barrel will be distrupted when the camera is trying to achieve focus.

Err..guys, I was at Sunway Pyramid and the 350D price is RM3K. Includes Lens kit, 1Gb SD and a tripod. Is the price ok? I think i'll go for the 350D instead of the a100. I can't swallow the high noise at high ISO.. besides I don't think there's much difference between 8 and 10MP.

What do u sifus think? Any opinions?
Thx!

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?

You didn't have it half as bad as me. The few shops I ask, it went:

D 80 ???  Where got this model?? You got it wrong...it's D 70 lah !!

Haiz ...any wonder why my user name is ??!!       

just gave Boeing a call again..400D stock only available 2 weeks from now. Bleh... but they're very sure about selling it @ RM 3150. Sigh.. i was thinking about getting it this week.

^ Bought it at Boeing, Sungei Wang. RM 3150 (Body + Kit Lens)

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.

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

how much u bougth ??
drop many kah?? interest with this 350D buy no money

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.

1 to 1 swap is not possible for items costing thousands like a DSLR. Be patient with the rectification, it's just a factory defect and will be solved just like the warranty agreement mentioned.

Aren't you glad you bought a Malaysian set and not a 'AP' set?

... but not everyone thinks like you and I, they rather save hundreds of ringgit and take the risk

Ok sifus, I read that the 30D has a 100,000-cycle shutter. Does this measure how many  pics the 30D can take before it "kongs" and needs servicing?

I dunno, lost count, but definitely less than 10

WTH.....
4kmAh....
RM120
