Yay, finally! a thread dedicated to 350D/400D!

I got my 400D early November and loving it, though I have not fully master it and I still take blur pictures (SIGH), I'm really having fun with what the camera does wonders to lovely pictures.

You might want to try playing with a 50mm f1.8 lens. It's very affordable compared with other lens and it produces great pictues (of course don compare it with a f1.4 la). If you're good at bargaining, you could get it a little lesser than RM300 with UV filter.

I'm getting mine next week.

Err... I want to be added to the list also la.

CutieLynette: 400D with Kit lens. So far. Bought at RM2100 (10 day-old second-hand from a forummer elsewhere)

Hello there!

For me the decision to buy a DSLR came when I was doing my photojournalism subject (i major journalism) last year. I was so inspired and all but didn't had the money to get one. I got through all my photoJR assignments with a panasonic prosumer.

Now that I've finally got one, I find that the leap was rather drastic (my previous cam was a Canon Ixus 500) and I'm having major handshake issues. I can't seem to get sharp pictures.

I'm just wondering if any of the newbies have had such problems too.

I normally shoot in M mode with my kit lens. I change my ISO according to the lighting.

I took this picture on my cousin's wedding, as you can see, it's not as sharp as I wanted it to be.

f3.5, 1/30s, ISO 1600 Canon 400D kit.

Hey Alpse, your name sounds very familiar to me. I think I know you! LOL

Hi all,

I just bought my 50mm f1.8 from a very kind forummer of another forum for RM220. Just want to share a few snap shots I took with it.









I know my pictures are not as crispy as it's supposed to be. It's not the problem with the lens, it's me and my shaky hands.

I hope I can have that steady hands soon as I practice!

A TT sounds great!

Any other girls here? Don't tell me I'm the only girl here! *Panic*

Me, buaya? LOL

Speaking of that ah, fcbarcelona-my, can you please update for me? I just bought a 50mm f1.8 lens.

Thanks.

Yeer! The cat very cute leh!~

RM220. 10 months warranty left. No filter la.

I posted some previously but it wasn't nice la.

These are the nicer ones.

Picture 1, 2 and 3 are taken in my church, which is actually near SEGi in Kota Damansara.

Picture 4 taken in Armada Hotel, PJ.

Very nice for your early days! Mine was like, "BLUEAK". I don't even want to look at it now.

I ain't no pro, therefore I think they're cool.

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.

I'm fine with anywhere within KL/PJ area. I'm working on Saturdays so 11am is out for me. I'm only free on weekend nights.

Let's look at the majority la.

Oh, yea, you're right. It's a Sunday.

I can't make it anyway at 11am. I'll still be in church.

Count me out. I'm not too much of a anime person, plus I am not free.

Have fun, guys.

Erm, guys, sorry but I got a noob question here...

What exactly is the functions of a battery grip? Store extra battery and have the dial and shutter vertically? Does adding the grip adds more weight to the person holding the cam? Or does it just help the photographer have more steady shots, since camera is heavier?

It is really necessary?
