oh (thanks). I didn't think about that. Will remove the strap once I bring my new cam out. Haven't had the chance to yet. Now I just dump the whole camera in .. strap, lens and batt. lol.

I think it is. U already spent so much on your camera, might as well take care of it properly. Besides, dry cabinets so cheap nowadays .. I got a digital one 30litre digi-cabi for only $108. And it has a 5 year warranty.

hehehe. you're telling me. I was really shocked when I unwrapped my present to find the 7D. I really thought the 500D would be more than enough for me. Ya lar. I am trying to NOT use the "auto" function .. struggling to read and understand the manual. lol !!

ZerocoolAstra, lol. My birthday is also our wedding anniversary and it's right after Christmas on the 27th, so it's a COMBINED gift .. lol! .. My hubby doesn't like to take pictures so it's just for me to use. He had a tough time deciding between the 7D and the 500D cos he knows ZERO about...

I wanted a Canon EOS 500D to start with too .. then my hubby surprised me with a 7D a few days ago for Christmas. I have been using a PnS camera all along .. my Canon G3 .. so the 7D is a real big jump for me. Now trying to read up all I can .. so that I don't just end up just using the...
