    how to counter the small grip of 550d?

    I was a beginner too when I got my 50D. No offence to any XXXD owners, when I went to Canon @ Vivo to play with 500D, it felt toyish. Hence, I bought the 50D. You can get the grip for less than $200 but you need to be very disciplined to attach it on your body everytime you go out to shoot.

    how to counter the small grip of 550d?

    Get a XXD or XD series DSLR. Grip is impt. Pay more for a more comfy grip.

    Need advice which Wide angle len to choose

    The difference in terms of wideness between a 17-40 and 18-200 is insignificant. You should be looking at 10-22 instead.

    Upgrading Dilemma

    I suggest you go 5DM2... if you get the 550D, then maybe a few weeks (maybe days), you will ask yourself why you did not buy 5DM2 and may start selling your 550D @ B&S.

    Advise require for upgrading of body and maintainence for dslr

    500D is able to use third party batteries. I am using them on my 50D (my gears as per my siggy) Link - http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=466425 Tripod wise, you can consider a Benro tripod. I got mine in Hong Kong which is cheaper than in Singapore. Link - www.benro.com.hk...

    How to get a CHEAP BRAND NEW EOS 500D BODY at $652 nett

    WX - I know la.. Thats why am "asking" nia.. Hehe.. Anyway, I think Canon is not DUMB to come up with this buy back program which is in existence for such a long time la. Canon is a company which is ultimately profit driven. Hence, I do believe that they provide such a "goodwill" service...
