    Juz bought my Canon 350D Rebel XT

    Hi bladehamster! I bought the exact same camera on Friday evening too! Despite some bad reviews here on how bad the kit lens and the 75-300mm lens is, I am totally satisfied with them. Could be because I'm new to DSLR, and how good or bad a lens is... doesn't matter at this stage. What...

    1st hands on impression of 400d at comex

    Hmmm.... that wasn't what they told me. They said there are 100 sets for sale during the COMEX. And the 100 sets will arrive on 14 Sep. Confirmed. Then on 25 Sep, 400D will be officially launched. Those who buy it then will have to wait 1 month for the shipment. So which is the case...

    Best type of Lens for spotting airplanes?

    For Changi, the wind conditions will change about Apr and Oct every year following the monsoon seasons. Runway change will be very frequent during these 2 months. From now till about Sep will be rather stable on Rwy 20, following that you can expect stable Rwy 02 ops from Nov onwards till...

    Hi everyone (especially those who have given me advice), Here's an update. After some opinons and suggestions, I researched further about D50, D70s and 350D. I've also gone down to the shops and handled them all. I like how the D50 feels 'coz it's not that taxing on my small hands...

    Thanks quinton for your response. A pity I wasn't able to handle the D70s over the weekend. Was only able to try out the 350D and it seemed alright. Guess I gotta delay buying a DSLR by a couple of weeks more. Hi zaren, I can't really remember why D50 was sieved out during my initial...

    Wow Koelsch, that was a late breakfast you had! raptor84, DeSwitch and Koelsch, you guys made a good point about going with the brand most of my friends own. Never thought of that before. But frankly, I doubt they will trust me with their expensive lenses. I'm one of the clumsiest person...

    Thanks DeSwitch and Koelsch for highlighting some of the questions I should be asking myself. From what I've read and gathered, my head says 350D but my heart says D70s coz 1) I have small hands and I'm small-built, so 350D (which is relatively lighter and less bulky is more suitable) 2)...

    You're right on that. Too old to be considered a gal anymore, though. No worries, I think I have more guts than that. :bsmilie: smtan24, Think it'll be a long while before you see the photos I take. With so many pros here, I have to muster A LOT OF COURAGE before I dare to post any photo.

    Thanks DeSwitch for the link! :) I've been following that thread closely since it was first posted. And still contemplating. I take a long time to make up my mind :dunno:

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and this is my very first post. Currently considering to buy a DSLR and venture into the world of serious photography. Still contemplating between D70s and 350D and reading through all related threads for information. ;) Hoping to learn more...
