Thanks for the suggestions everyone, it's really informative. Now I have more things to consider before making my purchase.

With regards to choosing between the 70-200mm and the 17-40mm, I think that 70-200mm would serve me better and I'm quite reliant on the zoom function on my current camera for normal outdoor shots. I'm just wondering whether will the 70-200mm be too heavy to carry around for my sight seeing trips.

I went to Canon Malaysia website and checked on the price for EF 70-200mm f/4L USM and it was way over RM 2,400.00. Does anyone know of any websites that have the current prices of Canon and third party compatible lenses ?

70-200mm do comes with 4 models, 70-200 f4, 70-200 f4 IS,70-200 f2.8,70-200 f2.8IS,  the lightest is 70-200 F4, then follow to increase, depends what u want to use it for, at the moment , the basic model is suitable for you.

Price for Canon EOS 400D please, thx

Just like a stinger missile launcher. lol
why wrap? no more white body already.

IF I have this lens ... I will SERIOUSLY consider getting it wrapped like this!

Another suggestion is, try to download the manual for 400D and 30D, compare the what u intend to use the camera for, and check out some others review, The link I provided previously, lots of members is using 400D, then later upgrade to 5D
