My 18-55mm did fail on me after about 11 months and the AF also could not work. CSC replaced it free of charge under the warranty and told me that they swapped out the entire lens assembly. Ever since then it had been working fine :)

I currently own one and its almost the perfect lens for my needs..fast AF and images can be very sharp at the 'recommended' apertures of about f/5.6 - f/7.1. I think one of those review sites did a comparison with an equivalent L lens and found that the sharpness is comparable. I was then...

From what I know the airshow organisers did try to shift the slot this year as the timing is very bad for photography and viewing as well due to the overhead sun and heat. However, this time slot is still given by CAAS as it is the period where there is the least traffic at Changi Airport as the...

Aiyoz eh....call me a stickler for details, but I honestly feel that even while in the process of venting anger, vent it accurately. Firstly, one of the major changes this year is the 'free' shuttle buses from Pasir Ris is operated by SMRT Buses, NOT SBS. I'm not sure about why SMRTB has...

It actually left on 15 Aug at 4am for Dubai as AIB702. Big Kahuna saw it last Thursday (ie National Day), the day when the demo landed.

I encountered this Error 99 problem on my 350D before, and the shutter for some reason also went with a weird click sound. However I managed to isolate it to it only happening when my kit lens was mounted and only between 18-24mm. Somehow the camera-lens interface caused this weird error and...

According to the NDP 2007 website, there would only be two days of Singapore Fireworks Festival this year. Unfortunately, I think that the 27,000 seats at the new floating platform would be available by invitation only...

I agree, as well as the fact that I believe right tools for the right job. There is just the unnecessary extra attention that a DSLR (however small) screams as compared to a prosumer. I still use my Oly C760UZ extensively even after having my Canon 350D for a year plus now.

Heh, even the flash doesn't pop up when the cover is inserted for Canon DSLRs. If you don't really always use the flash then leave it in the slot as protection, its easy to insert and remove anyway, although there is the risk of losing that small square of plastic. As for me, I treat the small...

Hi, definitely using the Format function in the camera. This is because if I'm not mistaken the file allocation tables are created differently based on which camera software version is being loaded in the cam, so its best to format the card on the camera that it is to be used on for maximum...

I used to have this problem intermittently on my Olympus 512MB xD card which is used on a Oly C760UZ. There are times the card displays Read Error and a number of pictures are corrupted. I eventually discovered that it was due to an old Li battery pack that was providing irregular power supply...

Back then, I wasn't sastified with my 18-55 kit lens that came with my 350D after using it for sometime because the AF just wasn't fast enough to keep up with my moving subjects. In addition, I needed something to plug the gap between the kit lens & my 'workhorse' 75-300mm lens. Naturally, I...

I've managed to get hold of this lens (the f/3.5-4.5) just recently after a fair bit of saving as I needed to fit the gap between my 18-55 kit lens & 75-300. The focusing is fast & accurate enough for me, as well as being sufficiently sharp. The 28mm end is a bit long occassionally but I could...

It is technically possible to take photos of aircraft taking off from the T1 viewing mall if you have at least a 400mm lens hehe. But I guess you would end up with pretty bad distortion due to the distance & the glass barrier. In the past, it is possible to get decent pictures of aircraft...
