Yea, if you have a high speed card, you can use it as your mini hard disk too I'm using my 8Gb 266x to share movies and pictures. You wouldn't do that if you are using a slow one.

now we know where all those porn coming from lar...

parang mau parang?

its really good for vertical shots and also somehow i think its just look cool

true
for me, every camera has their advantage and disadvantages... i love the color from nikon, its amazing how D50 and D40x can produce such color.

actually from my point of view, the battey grip actually add in gripping surface for guys with big hand and some what adding the additional weight to stabilize the camera when shooting. This is an important point when you are trying to zoom out for some distance object.

further more, it double the battery life and in cases where u uses pop up flash to shoot, the battery won't die off that fast.

for me the main reason for grip is for a vertical (portrait) shots. if you shoot landscape most of the time then no need grip lor.

It's actually useful when you have a heavy lens like C70-200mm f2.8 L. It helps to stabilize the body when you are shooting vertically. On top of that, shooting vertically is much easier using the extra buttons on the battery grip.

If got that lense and and no batt grip and wan to take portrait shots, can support the bottom part with one hand, another hand holding the lense, and set timer.

This site may offer some help. it is for 350D which i think 400D will have no problem. EOS Digital Rebel Tutorials

how about if i get these 2 canon lens?
Canon EFS 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS
Canon EFS 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS
quoted for RM1,600 for both lens. worth it? is this lens perform well or not recommended at all....
or maybe take tamron 28-300 VC or sigma 18-200 OS (also RM2,095)
need help here

welcome fellas

Why wanna take that 18~55 IS kitlens... u will regret next time.... save up more and get other lens...

18-55mm kit is one that produces soft images, personally i feel that the 18-55mm IS version is not bad. It is used as the 40D kit. Sharp pictures with IS. Recommended by me, what say you guys rebels?

Sony A-200 twin kit is selling for about Rm2300. (Vladimir Thread). Cheaper then its A-100 twin kit. Sony really really pushing and trying to capture the market.

The 450D seems promising for an entry level dSLR which has 12.2 megapixels in it and some additional features :

1. Live view mode, including contrast-detect AF
2. Redesigned menus (including My Menu as seen in 40D)
3. New, larger, higher capacity battery
4. Standard 450D kit will include a redesigned, image stabilized version of Canon's 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens

However, it will be using SD card but luckily it supports SDHC so it wouldn't be that bad but most of the dSLR users are already having CF cards which is a setback. So I guess this is an answer to Sony's competitive A200 for the entry level dSLR. Sony is offering a price which everyone can't resist (unless you just hate Sony or probably love Canon/Nikon etc), this should be an interesting question on how much would the 450D be priced here ? Anyone has any details on this ?

At first i also tot of buying that kit lens with IS, i asked my friend who worked at canon, he said it's just another same kitlens but implemented with IS only. Picture quality wise no difference. So he adviced me to save up and get other more superior lens.

Yes, it's definitely promising IF u are starting from scratch. Really no point for us who has been using an entry level to upgrade to this 450D unless u are tight on budget and going for the live view it has. =)

yes , i agree you shoud save more money for a good lens . the kitlens +IS's pic quality is no diff with the nonIS one.

some people like to change their body, dont bother their budget, as long as NEW , change.


ghagahhaha....
