If i can get 400D at RM2699. Do u all think it is worth to buy? with kit lens.

Getting cheap camera. Buy at your own risk.

i get it from the canon concept shop at Gurney wo ( actually havent get it, i just ask nia )....because i know that guy so he can give me this price.

I wonder can i get cheaper than that

my opinion after owning a 400D for 2 weeks is the body is not really a big matter. I gave up D40 1st coz AF only works with AF lens. 2nd thing is u'll be holding & navigating the body all the time no matter what lens u r using. So, u must feel very confortable with the design or interface of the body.

u can play around with the kit lins 1st. but later u'll find out that the kitlens is just a waste of money(no offence to those who r using kitlens, forgive me coz i'm already poisoned by lenses). the price is at least 10x of a kitlens but u'll get 20x of satisfaction

ehh. it's supposed to be that AF doesn't work with AF lens. you need AF-S / AF-I lens to get teh AF running.

yeah agree. but heck it doesn't have to be 10x more than kit lens.

i just bought a 70 - 300mm zoom with macro 1:2 for RM 600. very happy. just need to find a place to try it out.

so cheap with IS or not?

quick take more pics..and post it..i wanna c the result

used unit la. but ok what. lens you can always buy used unit.

make sure you know how to test it la or get it from trustable people.

no IS la. i don't recall seeing any without IS being so cheap. speaking of which, if you like IS you can go for Pentax or Sony but to wait for a used lens that fit it could take you forever.

oh i need IS

other brands like Nikon lens can fit to the canon body??

eh no leh. Nikon lens based on Nikon mount. Canon lens based on Canon mount.

however brands like Sigma and Tamron would have lens that fit various mounts.

the 70-300mm i bought was from Tamron, made for Canon mount.

oh icic...

But tamro and sigma is it cheaper than canon lens?

For those cannot afford Canon ori lens (like me) or beginner (like me also ) will prefer go for 3rd party lens...Tamron and Sigma is 2 famous maker...Tokina also but their choice lesser and price is higher...

Some sifu said some 3rd party lenses perform better then ori lens wor....i might wanna get myself ON with one in very near future

Anyway, again what u pay is what u get lor....

http://www.tamron.com/
http://www.tokinalens.com/

depends, for sigma certain lens are expensive, but some arent, yet those not so expensive lens produce superb image quality, take the 10-20mm wide angle for instance, its one of the best lens around, and it doesnt cost more than 3k.

Dude, i'd suggest that you go for the 350D or the 400D, you wont have any regrets in the future, if u want to make it look like those pro cam, get a vertical battery grip

Thanks for all the suggestions
I think i'll get 400D mostly, next month
But now i wonder, which lens should i get? Sigma or Canon? i definetely need a 300mm lens.
Any1 can suggest me? and would love to know the price as well

Pls dont suggest me L lens...i'm very POOR

Thanks
