Just heard the news. But its just an announcement so the actual product will take some time before entering our markets...

The EOSIDsMKIII is truly a moster and will be entering the realm of the smaller Hasselblads and Mamiya's. Price is gonna be RM28,999 Again I think since it was mentioned that its priced similarly to the EOS1DsMKII.

EOS 40D is a nice and majopr improvement from the 30D(I just got mine 2 months ago ). 6.5fps,3" LCD,DIGIC III and Self Cleaning is really tempting. Feel like disposing my 30D to get that later on. Its a worthwhile upgrade compared to when the 30D was launched over the 20D.

Good news to CANON fans as well, is the released of 3 new lenses. Woo Hoo...!

THanks for the new TS.

what the heck.. EFS18-55 f3.5-5/6 IS?

dont dispose ur 30D, give it to me

1D MARK III

haha... kitlens with IS.


Haha... sure won't dispose like that lar..... Sell and get back capital......

55-250 with is
hopefully they place the price like wut nikon place it for their 55-200vr:lol:

so - who wanna let go of their 30D ah?

40D really quite tempting with the 3rd gen cmos. Will put on a good fight with the nikon D80.

I don't know about that. I'd put the D80 in a different class than with the 40D. The specs speak for itself. It will be interesting to see how NIKON would respond. A replacement for the D200 which was supposedly the rival of the 30D and maybe a full-frame Pro-DSLR would be great news....

You are right too, supposing the D80 should be fighting with 400D.
Nikon will have to come up with something to couteract the canon monster.

D200 should be full frame DSLR, they should have replacement model for D200 since this one had been exist for almost 2 years already.

Looks like canon will lead the pro market for awhile.

WARNING, HIGH-RES PICTURES!

Rumours from the leaked Olympus marketing PDF file states that there will be a 40D from Canon and a D300 from Nikon that goes head to head with the E-P1. I'm sure Nikon will release details of their D300 soon.

By the way, D80 is way out of the league of 40D.

somehow i don like the 40D menu button at the bottom , used to D80 left sided buttons..more Zhao Shao...haha

expect a huge camp jumping refugees

Although 40D is officially announced , the 30D still can't be seen in shelves thought !
Always tempted to try the 30D which even Canon booth doesnt promote it .

Anyway , anyone know the price for EOS 5D ? heard that it's 35mm full frame.
Saw a korean-like lady holding EOS 5D with 70-200mm F2.8 lens if not mistaken. ( for sure it's constant aperture size as it's damn huge ! )

it is a full frame well, what's more to say about full frame, the quality of the pics speaks for itself.

Most probably they are obsoleting 30D, that's why you can't see them in shelves anymore.

Expect loads of 2nd hand 30D in the market and that should be good news for you.

Don't compare with FF lar. Both are different levels. When got new FF like the 1Ds Mark III, then you will compare with MF.

I also saw my friend's wedding photographer using 5D to shoot. He's lucky to get such a pro user. Some charge damn high but only use 400D or D70s.

The replacement model of 5d will be released soon....... early next year probably


40d out on Merdeka 50th day... in Japan

When using FF, cheap lens is not a good alternative at all... All sub par lens are not to be tolerated. So if you want to go FF, perhaps should start collecting some L lens now.
