Hi all,
How about cheapest price 450D body only? thinking to pair it with EFS 17-55mm f2.8 IS...how much is the lens going for (brand new of course)... upgrading from g9 to dslr so need advice from everyone... and also, using 450d worth it to get L lens aaa? maybe go for the 70-200mm f2.8L IS if budget permits...

Rich Boy spotted!!!!!!!!

450D body only is around RM 2,500 to RM 2,600. So far I not aware any place cheaper than RM 2,500.

Tammy 1750 - RM 1,300 to RM 1,400.

EOS 450D body is in the RM2,500-RM2,600 range. EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM is in the RM3,700-RM3,800 range. EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is in the RM6200-RM6,300 range.

aiya, not rich la... Going to europe for honeymoon in august and need better gear for low light shootings... G9 cannot cope with night shoots and putting my 430ex attracts too many attention... So between these two, which do you sifus suggest for walkaround lens and a little bit scenery... Going for 2 weeks visit 9 countries so don't want to regret... Thanks.

money for dslr and money for euro trip not rich?

cannot say like thatlah, kawan... been saving like crazy for almost five years, time to pamper myself a bit...the reason i chose 450D and not 40D is because still not sure whether i'm going to stick with the dslr world (depending on the pic quality i'm taking in europe)... my g9 has been a darling to use for the past 9 months but too many limitations.
about the lenses, my understanding is these lenses are sought after in the used market so no harm in buying the best all round lens... still, it all depends on whether i will get love at first sight with the 450D like my g9 when i come down to kl next week...
thanks a lot for the replies guys, really appreciate it... ciao

What would be the lens to get for beginner if I decided not to get the starter kit lens? Any recommendation? And how about filter?

maybe for somebody thats still expensive for a entry level DSLR... up to 3k
wait until price drop

haha..im kidding la friend...u deserved the price of ur effort la...salute*

well, if after u buy ur 450D and quit this forum, im definately sure u r not into dslr world but saja click n snap with ur 450D...

if u keep sticking to this photog thread, im sure u will infected by the virus here...the intensity of the virus infection here is very very very strong..

erm...about choosing 450D and 40D, u might wanna consider 40D...im going to 40D with 2 reasons...

i dont really like the batetry grip of 450D

price of 40D is tempting + the big body comes convenient...

and many extra great feature...

my 2 rupiah

thanks so much raymanlucas,
yup, still not sure which body to take, 450D or 40D, price is only 500-600 different... only sure about the lenses (70-200 f2.8L is & 24-70 f2.8L or 24-105 f4 L is)... need the white lens for zooming objects and people but not sure which 24s are good good for scenery... maybe go for the f2.8 as my friend told me it's better for low light situation... what do you think...? haven't tried any of the lenses except for the 70-200L f2.8 non is version... next friday going to kl so still got time to think...

hi ae8za,
last time i went 6 conuntries in 16days already consider rush for me. so i can tell u 2 weeks 9 countries is really rush. if u dowan't spoil ur honeymoon, the lightest equipment will let u enjoy more on ur trip. 24-70 2.8 + 70-200 2.8 is too heavy for travel in my mind, unless u r pro travel photographer.

last time i bring 18-55IS + 55-250IS, the combo is really light in weight. but end up only <5% of my photo shoot with 55-250IS bcoz of rush and feel lazy to change lens. so it's very usefull if u bring an all rounder lense like sigma 18-200OS

for scenery, not 24-70 or 24-105. 24mm definately not wide enough.
if im going there again, i'll bring 450D + sigma 18-200OS + canon 10-22.

given your situation, and with the healthy financial status, i'd advise you to go for 16-35mm f/2.8L + 70-200mm f/2.8L IS since you don't seem to mind changing lenses. ya 24-xx ain't gonna do good for scenery since you are on a crop body. the EF-S 10-22mm is good to but since you are not sure you're into photography or not, and with backup plans to sell it off, these Ls can sell easier. alternatively, cheaper and lighter combo would be 17-40mm f/4.0L + 70-200mm f/4.0L IS lor...dslr body 40D lor since you are already buying succh expensive lens.

thanks for the recommendations mr genkis3 & mr kennji,

hey..wanna ask..saw the many threads in dpreview about 450D's AF issue..any user here had the same problem? I wanna buy it later in the US via online (very cheaper than shops in US), but scared since the many threads about the AF issue in 450D..
