iPhone killer = SingTel phone plan pricing. :D

1150 USD... worth every dollar though! I just got Audio-Technica ESW-9 as well for casual use, because I cannot share my UE11 with my friends when I want to show them funny YouTube video in library or crowded areas... I can't stop smelling the lambskin headband and earpads! :dunno::bsmilie:

This baby spoil me so much already. I cringe whenever my friend want to share their music using their iBuds or whatever. UE11 is true king of portable sound. :sweatsm:

Definitely justifiable. If you use the 18-55 kit as your primary lens, and you want to upgrade to Tamron, do it. The wide aperture (f2.8) and better IQ will be better than the IS feature on the kit lens anyways. At any rate, I love my Tamron. :D

You sure it's not just the AI Focus switching to Servo Mode and following the locked object when moving the camera? Keep it on One-Shot AF and see what happens.

AF 80-200mm f/2.8D ED - $1650 (John, Sep07 - ferrariGTR) Tokina AT-X 828 (80-200) - $800 on ebay.sg? No exact pricing on this lens, but I would assume that the Nikon sells for approx $1200 used and the Tokina around $700-800. So there is a significant difference, at least. At any rate I...

Use bounce cards/diffusers of some sort to get non-harsh flash - NEVER use direct flash. I personally use the Demb Flip-it! Pro with the Diffuser option, really great at bouncing the flash, and much smaller than the Gary Fong Lightsphere which is the other one that people like the most. The...

High-end body has better noise reduction compared to low-end. D300 vs D80, for example, or 5D/40D vs 450D. Plus you got higher ISO range too.

Tammy 17-50, for sure. IQ and wide aperture makes this lens awesome. IS is nice, but wide apertures are better for low-light. IS doesn't stop a moving subject, faster shutter because of f/2.8 does.

Don't worry, they're talking about the Nikon mount of the lens. All Canon-compatible EF/EF-S lenses have motor, and the Tammy has a motor for the 450D. No major differences.

Dude, how many pics a day do you shoot? I have two in a batt grip and I can take ~1200+ pictures on those two alone.

Battery drain - don't worry about it, I think you'll still get 600+ shots out of the 450D battery. It's quite ridiculously long-lasting. Now with my batt grip I charge monthly or something - charged both batteries once, shot a wedding (600+ pics), topped up one battery, and haven't charged in 3...

Fast prime with a monopod, preferably. 1600ISO or higher, wide-angle-ish. Say, 35mm f/2 or Sigma 30mm f/1.4 or Canon 50mm f/1.8.

Yeah, that would work. The kit lens is actually a good value, though, and it costs not that much more in kit form than just body. You could buy kit then sell off the lens to get some money.
