Wow, thx for the quick and numerous responses, I'll go dig around and find out more about the trade-in prices. Anything I should take note of?

Not sure if this sounds stupid, but did a quick search and couldn't find anything. Does any store in Singapore provide trade-in when buying new cameras?

For those who've been to Phuket, is it safe to bring 70-200mm 2.8 IS there?

Problem for me is that I can't decide between the larger aperture or longer focal length. 100-400 will definitely be long enough for me, but I'm not sure if it's fast enough for me, to capture say parasailing or other water sports like jet skiing. Will be going with friends so it'd be great...

I'm going to Phuket this week end and I'm thinking of investing in a telezoom lens but cant quite decide on which even after readings threas upon threads. I'll be bringing: 1. Tokina 12-24 2. EFS 17-55 I can't decide between buying: 1. EF 70-200 2.8 IS 2. EF 100-400 If I get the...

Looks like the outcome is unanimous. Probably gonna head down to CP to check out the dry cabis :) Thanks for the advice

Wow thanks for the excellent advice. I think I might try out CS4 since I'm gonna need it eventually for other stuff as well. BTW, great photo :)

Say I have a budget either for tripod/drycabi, which would be a better investment to make first? If I get tripod I'll be using it probably once per mth average unless i go travelling I have about 3 lenses currently. Pls advice :)

Can someone advice me on stitching photos? Are the free softwares available online sufficient? Or is it generally better to get a dedicated software for it? My quick search led me to some general conclusions -e.g. canon provides its own photostitch software -photoshop elements...

I'm seeking for a tripod and hope the pros out there can advise me I'm using a 450d with 17-55 and just got my 430EX II Not sure of the exact weight but which tripod would suit me best? I plan to use it for traveling so preferably lighter and more compact yet sturdy ones I read around and...

Thx for all the great advice I'm leaning towards the 430EX II but will most likely go down and try it out for myself before deciding. Would also like to find out how I learn more about flash photography? Is playing around with it enough?

Thx for the advice so far, one of my key concern is weight/portability It'll most probably be for casual phototaking. Is there much of a difference in terms of weight/portability between the 580EXII and 430EXII?

I'm thinking of venturing into flash photography, but not sure which flash to get for my 450d. Mainly take lots of night photography and indoor shots with warm lighting. Pls advice Thx :)
