    Which one I should I go 550D or 60D?

    I thought i made the smart choice by getting a rebel body and invested in a better lens. It takes great pictures and the camera is never the limiting factor to taking good pictures. i spend time developing my skills and learning to fully utilize the power of a DSLR. Can i do that with the...

    Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC or non VC?

    Yup its a great lens. I've had the VC version for about a year now. I've been reading all these reports on the lack of sharpness wide open and at the tele end but at the end of the day i like my pictures and cannot convince myself that i need a replacement for the time being. 2.8 is pretty...

    Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC

    EOS, the AF ring does move when focusing. Need to keep your fingers away from the AF ring for those who have the habit.

    How to convince your wife/gf of your intention....

    Hang your compact camera around your neck and whenever you see someone with a DSLR, purse your lips, make a 'ke lian' face and repeatedly switch your gaze between your compact and his DSLR

    500D to Nikon D90? shall i?

    jryckw Colour saturation can be adjusted in camera (try landcape mode) if you like more colour. As for sharpness, if shooting at medium apertrure F4.0-8 at the middle of your zoom range with IS on isnt sharp enough for you, buy a 50mm F1.8 for $150 and shoot at F3.5-8. If it aint sharp enough...

    Hanoi -> Halong Bay

    Curious to know what to expect. For a USD100 2day/1night cruise, can i expect 1) A clean comfortable room (good king sized bed with no broken springs and clean white sheets) 2) A reasonably quiet room at night (no engine noise/fumes, rattling air conditioning) Cheers

    Sungai Rengit

    All HDR-ed except 1 and 8? Many nice places in Malaysia spoiled by litter.

    Official Canon 500D user Thread (part 2)

    Thanks Shane! Yes custom func 5 was the culprit. Selecting option 2 (strong) for HI ISO noise reduction reduces buffer to 2 shots regardless of shooting ISO and picture size/format. Turned it back to standard and my buffer is back to 9. YIPPEE!

    Bros, Got my dusty 500D out to take some shots of our tennis match last night but found that the buffer was somehow stuck at 2 shots.( in continuous shooting mode, it takes 2 shots, pauses and then takes the 3rd, pauses and then takes the 4th ) Tried replacing the SDHC card with a...
