the canon 55-250 IS is a good one though... but in your case i will suggest you to take the sigma 18-200 OS which i think is slightly below RM 1700

55-250 problem is you can't snap WIDE but you have longer range when it comes to tele.

and yes, the 18-200 OS is around Rm 1.7k. i got it at RM 1.7k last year NOV. so the price could possibly be lower nowadays.

practice yourself to have a steady hand,

for 18-55mm focal length, i dun think IS will help much..
doesn't worth for the extra bucks..

aww...sweet lens to start with.
Added you to our family. Join us in our next gathering

I would not recommend 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS, it's still a kitty lens + IS only. Picture quality still more or less around the same like kittylens, might as well invest a little bit more and go for Tammy 17-50mm f2.8

Well, that's their strategy to capture new users to use their system. Those who are blinded by their cheap starting price gonna suffer when they wanna buy or look for used Sony / Minolta lens in future.

but if a person just wanna have the twin kit lens, or maybe + some sigma lens, it should be ok..

no doubt Sony , Minolta , Carl Zeiss lens are expensive and rare in 2nd hand market..

off topic btw, hahaha

Yea, however I believe that if you've spent closed to RM3k for your DSLR, I certainly doubt that you wouldn't go for other better lens if you are really into photography. Unless you are just getting it for the sake of getting a DSLR.

haha..

that's effect of kena poison

oh ya btw, someone has got himself a 300D,
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/619215

i suggest 300D to be added into the community too..

so it will be 300,350,400,450..

Added 300D into da family

huge family~

Thanks.

Now thinking of ways to get better lens...

What's your next thingy in your wish list?
Canon 50mm f1.8?

How did u know? Can u real peoples mind over the net?

Er..how much aaa?

Better check the pinned thread created by myjunk.

Yes, most of the 400D users pick 50mm as their alternative rather than the kitlens.
It's very common

Let me know if you are looking for used 50mm f1.8, I might have friends who wanna let go theirs to go for 50mm f1.4

What is the reason? Maybe we can shoot 'em back if you have solid reason.

sure 18-200mm OS around 1.7k? D: where you see @_@

nah, no point else it gonna be an endless war

If you've tried both sides and compared side by side e.g. 400D and Alpha , you'll definitely know.

true. but if u dun wan, pls pm me. coz i wanna know also. comtemplating Alpha and 400D.. LOL...

yeah. its around rm1.7k. try ask goldfries. if i not mistaken..its around BB Plaza or YL camera.

no war plz.

hahaa going yl tommorow @_@ hope can buy ahaha
