Any idea when we can start playing with the 450D in shops?

is 450D compatible with eye-fi? since 450D already use SD...like D60, it can detect eye-fi and adjust its power...

Hi guy,

Shashinki 40D drop price to RM 35++, Nearly the same as 450D with kitlens.

Any here interested with this price???

Wow what albnok said is true. o.o Better get 40D straight lol.

But maybe you should wait a bit lar. Maybe the 450D kit will drop to 3K or so and 2.5K for body.

PO,
dun need to worry, the 450D price will drop soon....since it is new and just launched. after 3-6month price will drop, just depend on how many of us can wait until the price drop.
most properly 400D will not discontinue soon, coz need to fight a market sony A200, and olympus Dslr camera....
Mostly 400D will drop less than RM2000 soon...anyway it is good for us coz we're consumers...

Any one had hands on experience with the 450d or know where we can touch molest it ?

I went and try the 400D wasnt very comfortable on my hands and placement of buttons werent that good.
Heard that 450D had some improvement on both button placements and grip.

bro, mind telling me where in jp to get that price? i'm looking for X2 kit, the price i can find so far is Y99,800 (~RM3125) at bic and yodobashi, i assume that's the retail price. i got some contacts leaving for Japan tomorrow night, they'll be in Tokyo and will go to akihabara (that's where the shiznit at right? ). so any info on where to get discount price is much appreciated... thank you

you can try at kakaku.com for a cheaper price.

OMG. Can you believe this?!! Quote from the thread here

The price is reasonable for japan set. I have ways to get imported 40D body for 3400 only but not everyone dare to take such risks, including myself.

thanks for the info hopefully can get a good deal

EOS 40D KIT (18-55MM) --- 4100

Wah, so cheap ah. Where you get it oh?
Oh ya, just read a post by YL camera shop. They already got stock in hand. So you guys might want to check it out.

i got it at fotokem pyramid..
(i paid using credit card somemore.. no extra charges..)
/gg

4100 for 18-55mm kit consider ok la. But for EOS 40D KIT (17-85MM) --- 4650 this one really cheap lor.
Anyway, already check with the thread owner. He confirm is Japan import set. Anything happen needs to send back Japan to repair.

kk.. correct me if im wrong..
if i buy camera from JAPAN.. i got JAPAN reciept.. i come back malaysia, can send warranty or not?

coz if im not mistaken, they just dont allow JAPAN unit, but Malaysian reciept.. am i right?

i m new in photography, recently trying to get a dslr to satisfied myself.
*camera phone tak clear enuf*
i might getting neither 400d or 40d.
or maybe wait awhile more to get 450d.


but i wanted to ask what lens shud i get if i more to Portrait?
or what lens shud a beginner will need?

=)

appreciate if u anwser my ques.

@pinku

I would advice you to start learning with the kit lens for a few months first. Then maybe you can try out the 50mm f/1.8 the cheapest prime in the EF family and provides decent bokeh. Maybe a sigma 70-300 APO lens too. Just read around the threads here and I'm sure you'll be able to learn fast. Welcome to the DSLR world anyway!
