What are you looking for as in the comparing? One has IS, the other doesn't, 7-blades vs 8-blades, EF-S and EF, non-L and L, f/2.8 vs f/1.2.... How you define upgrade? are you saying you are using 50mm on the 17-55mm most of the time thus comparing with the 50mm f/1.2L for its optical...

Stick with your 450D. If the diff is so biggie significant, i believe you would have upgrade already. Anyway... ya again... stick with your 450D... it's a good camera mah

I dunno you... your preference and style - ain't mine. If you ask mine, and with such a budget, i would rather get a used 5D for those L glasses and top up for a 16-35mm f/2.8 to 'complete' the coverage, or even forgo the said if you hardly use that range? afterall 24-70 and 70-200mm r like a...

In the 35mm film SLR era, where got IS? and people are still living and thriving with what they have, you got the answer? :) It's definitely good to have IS (i would be dumb to reject technology), but it's not a must have especially if you grasp your basics well. Afterall, IS is not gonna...

Geez touch screen... capacitive or resistive it will be so dumb. Do i have to remove my gloves before i can make a selection?

Cambodia where? if Siem Reap and including Angkor... please read on for my thoughts, else not applicable hehe. Only two lenses and a tripod are the necessary for my Siem Reap trip. * 10-22mm for temples withins. * 24-70mm for landscapes and all sorts. they are on FF camera. So...

3 questions i will ask myself :) - Do i need the extra pixels? 12mp vs 21mp. I am not saying that 5DM2 image quality is clearly superior over 5DM1. - Do i need the clearly superior 5DM2 ISO performance? - Do i need the movie mode?

Both the Canon 10-22mm and the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 are very good lenses, and, you will not be able to differentiate which lens makes which photo. If you ask me, i say in the EF-S family, besides the 17-55mm, the other well-proven lens is the 10-22mm. If you have the cash and the specs...

You might want to consider using flash, higher ISO or even a combination of both.

Tried it couple of days ago. In short, these are my findings and thoughts: - Very versatile compact with lens that starts at 24mm Wide, and ends at 360mm on the Tele. - Typical consumer slow lens, but, compensated with the effective IS and EXR High ISO, the end results are acceptable...

70-200mm with a rubber hood lor

Was at bkk sometime back... alone too. Instead of using a backpack, i choose a shoulder bag, and ensure that the bag is in front of me at all times. At least it saved me the constant thoughts of watching my back, and, gets hysterical whether the person at my back would open up the bag and...

Most likely to be dust on the sensor. It's either you clean it yourself or have it cleaned at the service center.

Actually to make a choice between the 550D and 7D is quite easy. Their specs are rather similar in many areas ex. the sensor of the 550D and the 7D is very close. So do some homework, and work out the significant differences, and see whether these differences are worth the extra $ to you...

Try masking the AF contacts on the EOS body. I had problem with one of the adapters that kind of 'short' the AF system thus the Err message. It's either the adapter has too lousy build quality or its too conductive i guess.
