i bought mine at HN at 1499 ....

but they gave me a 4GB toshiba sd card, nikon bag, and a nice canon tripod

they give you NIKON bag?? hm.... :dunno:

anybody can post some pics??

thinking of buying this also... will be my 1st DSLR!! is it worth it to get the 55-200mm lens also?
 

Bought the 450D at MS Color (Main branch) for $1180 (body only)

Free gifts need to collect from Canon at harbourfront - SD card and book.

Sorry hammie, did not check price of kit. pls call them 6457-6380 (the main branch) for quote.
MS color folks very friendly.

I already said with kit is 1380 with a 2GB card
 

JUST GOT MINE TODAY AT MS COLOR (Main Branch)! $1350 with kit ! haha 4gb + 1 book hv to collect urself at habour front..
 

Any users here got 40D and 450D at the same time? Care to compare the difference? :bsmilie:
 

Hi Everyone, i'm a novice. Please advise.

i intend to buy a Canon 450D with EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens.
What's the best deal in Singapore ? Which shop to buy from ?

Is it recommend to buy the EF-S 17-85mm f4.5-5.6 IS USM lens or should i
get the bundle kit with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS kit ?

What's my main concern is the f index. EF-S 17-85mm only has f4 at 17mm wide instead
of f3.5 for the EF-S 18-55mm IS kit. Therefore, it may not create enough background blur effect if i shoot.
Although i'm also interested in buying the EF-S 18-55mm f2.8 IS USM lens at a later stage.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks Everyone :D
 

Anyone got it from John??

aye get the 18-55 IS.

since you're still new. shoot with the 18-55 1st. get a feel of what u like to shoot. den invest more $$ to get the lens u need. i think the 18-55 will suit u better in terms of price tag. and its not a bad lens to begin with! this version 2 is improved!
 

i just got myself the 450D with tamron 17-50 f2.8 lens
:)
 

Hi
As I just got my 450D yesterday that does not come with bag, I am looking out for one. I hope to get the crumpler one. Anyone knows where can I find it? I went to town but cant find at Best Denki, they carry another brand. :)
 

Crumpler shops are at Wheelock and Raffles City. Cathayphoto also carries them.

You need to understand DOF better.

At 17mm, f3.5 and f4 do not give you DOF that differs too much.

Image quality wise, 18-55IS wins by a margin...
Zoom power... 17-85 of cos wins haha... So it'll boil down to whether you are fussy over image details or convenience... But 17-85 is really versatile... If you print your pics, you won't see much difference. But if pixel peep whole day in front of comp, then 18-55IS is more satisfying :bsmilie:

The 17-85mm has very bad distortion. It has a slow max aperture and i believe the 18-55 mm IS is better value for money. Thus, id suggest u go for the 18-55 IS.

Alternatively, get the body alone + tamron 17-50mm f/2.8
