,Jan 2 2008, 08:50 PM]AFAIK, if you buy a 350D now it will have the latest firmware.

** wow, I'm so outdated in this thread already!!!

anyone can recommend me a new lens? Or should i save more to buy 40D(together with 24-105L)? budget 3k.

get a lens 3k not enough?

crumpler , nah try lowepro, tamrac or bagman,
yes its true but they dun ship outside US

not more than RM300, u should be able to find one at the range of RM280 - RM290

I asked from Foto Edar previously, it was RM470.

BTW, I so very itchy and went ahead and gotten a new lens. (plus a couple of extras)

I'm a happy camper of the new Canon 55-250mm IS lens which I got for Rm850 From Pertama Complex, International Camera Center IIRC is the name. (sorry.. I made a typo and typed I'm not a happy camper when I meant I am!)

(Foto Selangor was willing to sell at RM840, but after I asked him for the price of a UV filter, I balked, he was asking for RM75 for Hoya UV)

End up I bought from the shop above which gave me better pricing on the filter. (and I ended up buying a better UV filter as well)

55-250 RM 850
Hoya +4 Close Up RM38
Hoya Pro1 UV Filter - RM100 (this may be a stupid decision though)

Being the 1st time playing with the IS feature, I'm already liking it a lot.

This lens has 7 aperture blades (circular) which is better than my 50mm f1.8 which has 5 aperture blades and is NON-rounded.

congaz to ur new gear, the 70-200mm F4 L is very small is it?? yesterday i at sungei wang there pass by some camera shop.show the 70-200m F4 look very small to me..

Wah.. since when you got yourself a 70-200 F4L lens ah??

***DISCLAIMER***
Reading through this thread is bad for your wallet    

and it's gonna be molested by many people
i was thinking of bringing one but realise my chaplang tripod can't really support the weight of my camera now haha

Can that bag fit a C70-200mm f2.8 L attached with my miserable D40?

how much is EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 lens nowadays?

RM3950 for local warranty.
Grey unit around 3.5k

Everything starts from 0, so don't be shy like me, I'm a newbie too
Will be taking photography as my subject for my coming level if I manage to pass the next sem

IIANM, they can work much longer than 2 standard 350D batteries.
I think around RM285-300 for the lense and UV filter, according to the pinned thread here.
