whoa. If i didn't already had the 350D i'd grab it.

the only thing stopping me from getting it is the fact that it only comes in a kit. but after hearing what goldfries has to say about the kit lens, i'm starting to re-think about the offer. doh.gif laugh.gif

lol thanks for the kind words. smile.gif

just got my 400D not too long ago. slowly playing with the settings. one thing i dislike is that the flash keeps popping out when in auto mode, even when i'm snapping pics in broad daylight. doh.gif

any solutions to this? tongue.gif

I hardly used my auto mode, I'm not sure if the flash-popping is a normal thing. Have you tried using P mode to shoot instead? It should solve your problem. But then again, I'm no pro. tongue.gif

lol i'll continue playing with the settings then. tongue.gif

QUOTE(valho @ Dec 10 2007, 12:30 AM)
it's normal, since the flash is use for auto focus as well. you can disable the flash by going to the last mode on the dial
*

yeah. i use that. "flash-off" mode and also "A-DEP". laugh.gif

You're looking for the canon speedlites?
They are Rm 1k onwards..

There are third party flahses but I can't help you on that =O

yeah i was looking at Canon's Speedlite's. but somehow or rather, shops have told me that they don't bring in the 220EX as it's too mediocre . doh.gif

so i need something. tongue.gif

It's better to get the 580EX II since you're going to save up some money. It's a good flash, plus it has the function to control other canon flashes like the 430EX and the 580EX from a distance, like a strobe unit smile.gif

guys, did a photoshoot today with my gf. here's the shot^^ just a little sneak peek.

i guess i'll wait my skills have extended and i've reached the point where i really do need a flash unit. laugh.gif

wow that's your gf? looks like a model. tongue.gif

You mean 70-300mm is it?

How about Siggy 70-300mm f4-5.6 Macro?
You get a so so tele + macro

You may straight jump to C70-200mm f4 L once you have enough money

Or maybe you can look for Tokina ATX-PRO 80-200mm f2.8 lens. Its tack sharp BUT it's also a rare masterpiece.
*

how much would the 70-300mm F5-5.6 be? hmm.gif

yeah will surely get the 70-200mm F5 L once i've the money, it's sweeet. drool.gif

rare masterpiece means expensive or hard to find? tongue.gif

QUOTE(kenlui @ Jan 6 2008, 09:10 PM)
What's ur budget in the first place? Trust me, just get an L and be rest assured you won't think about other lens.
*

maybe around RM2-2.5k for the best price:performance tele lens.

i'm still a student so i don't have a steady income. relying on my dad's though-a-lil-lost-but-still-ever-present passion for photography to obtain a lens.
