no. i was right. the new 350D has the same partial metering as found the 20D (which is 9% at centre; same as 10D). this is not spot metering.
if u wanna talk abt true spot metering, its something like D70's 1% of frame. see the specs at dpreview for comparison. this is a major bugbear among 10D and 20D users who crave for true spot metering as found in the 1-series bodies.

yeah. at least we can still reuse the batts, tho they are of lower power than the 511A. sheesshh... lets see wats the RRP first? then again, i think i rather hang onto my 10D and use it till it dies. heck... who knows next yr, 360D comes in 11MP and 1.3x crop factor - ie mini 1Ds (almost, since 1Ds is full-frame).

Yah, no matter what, I'll definitely stick to my good old 10D. By far, I think the 10D is still the best of the lot that Canon has produced these years, excluding the 1 series of course.nightwolf75 said:
However, NW75, I think we really need to start considering our replaced version already, cos the 10D is already into our 2nd year. :bsmilie:
Virgo said:
come lah! lets go change our shutters together?
OT: i could be wrong again. but, isn't powershot batts a lower charge than the BP-511/511A dat are currently being used by canon DSLRs (not counting the 1-series)?

thinking thats how they cut down on weight.... since "DIGIC II is part of the reason that the Canon EOS Rebel XT is capable of taking 600 shots on just a single battery charge."
anyone notice on the picture...the material of the 350D seems to be better? it looks different from 300D and closer to 20D material.... could it a better plastic?
"Canon Rebel XT is more than 10% lighter and 25% smaller by volume than the Canon Rebel" - i guess thats why they can't use the older grips.... size difference

eh, your shutter 'kong ka kiao' already meh? You still using it during my last shoot of Chew Ling leh. What happened? I'm tempted, however, to go for a sensor clean at Canon. Recently discovered a lot of dust specks which cannot be blown away using a blower.nightwolf75 said:
For my PowerShot G3, I use BP-511 leh...that's why I upgraded to 10D without any spending on my batts.
Sorry, a bit OT here. We suppose to discuss the new 350D! :embrass:

change sensor? ;p
no lah. my shutters are still fine. mebbe only replace them mid-yr, just to play safe.
but, the choice of batts are surprising. i thot they will still carry on using the already-excellent 511/511A... :think:
