400D not D400
50mm is a good lens

combination of 70-300mm and 50mm
u lost the wide angle coverage

i think if u get the kit set
18-55 will cover it

hmm...like this..
ok~ get it..
thankss rclxms.gif

ahsmile,
you from penang right ?
Going all the way down to SG for that camera?
M'siaand Sg not much different in price lar for camera and lenses.
other acessories like camera bags, tripod cheaper lar.

for example what i found in FTZ
under-warranty d70s kit complete with 18-70mm lens plus freebies. immaculate condition. serious buyers only. rm2700. - Wooi <wongpwc@yahoo.com>

aaltong, thanks for the info =D
the info i was found when visit SG forum check for pricing. biggrin.gif
not really will go all the way down to buy from SG..just comparing price =)

i did check the price when visit HK mid of this month (Vacation trip). simply have a look. not really check up HK DSLR price..

Alamak..... HK you can get cheaper, but need to know where to shop.
I know someone fly all the way to HK just to get few lenses, the price is still cheaper than buying in here even after add air ticket price. But those lenses are huge and expensive one lar.

=) HK got a lot of Camera Shop. but some of the price is very expansive. mostly visitor do not know where to get the cheapest price rclxub.gif hehe..^^
i found my DVcam is much more expansive at HK/Macau.
