Finally a 350/400D thread. I have been using a 350D for more than a year and im loving it. Pimp it with a batt grip and it feels much better.

You sure about that? The cheapest I asked in msia was around RM420 which I think is a lil overpriced too. During the promotion period, some managed to get it at Rm299 without body purchase.

I bought mine over here for around RM500, a lil more expensive but i've no choice right now.

Some of my favourite pics..

Well offers are always around. It depends on how lucky and how fast you are.

@morph

Since you're using 400D, ultra II would be sufficient enough. Your camera won't be able to fully utilize the speed of an extreme IV card. Shooting at 3.5fps wont need a high speed card.

Haha.. you guys have to rely on artificial snow spray??

There's plenty of snow over here right now

Happy New Year folks!

@valho

Ditto.. I read that book too. It's an essential read for all starters actually.

This is getting really interesting. I see 2 L lens, 17-40L and another white L tele.. Sigma, and even a tokina..

Let's organise another meeting during july? Because i'll only be back then

I think goldfries mentioned that his wife is using his fuji prosumer. Nothing to do with kit lens.

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.

Go to FTZ. So far the best online place I've ever come across.

Oh go to YL lor

Yeah get the 50mm , nifty fifty. You'll be happy with it for a long time.

YL camera in pudu plazza. Look for desmond. Nice chap to chat with. But you'll have to go when he's not busy. haha...

@myjunk

I've a friend over here which has the 70-300 IS, IMHO it's not that wonderful compared to a 70-200 f/4 L. And does a 70-200 f/4 L cost Rm5k? It should cost less than that iinm.

A piece of advice, never buy photography gears using CC. Use case all the time if possible. That means you're spending what you have not spending what you don't have.

@valho

If it's that case then it's ok. For those who plan to pay in installments I dont think it's a good idea. Just my 2 cents though.

As far as I'm concern the price quoted by canon concept stores are higher than other shops by approx 30%

@silver

The answer to your question is pretty easy. It depends on your budget. And what you really need. With the price diff of 1k, add in a little bit you can get a 50mm prime and the new EF-S 55-200 IS. It's your call.

Hmm suddenly it's 50mm buying fever now...

The last time I bought my 50mm, I had to preorder it.. Maybe with so many of u wanting to buy, the shop would probably have to preorder it.
