Canon Rebel Xsi Club II - 450D only

[gman23xx]

Was watching some 450D unboxing videos on youtube. I notice there is a little red tag on the metal portion where you attach the hand strap to. Did anyone get that tag. I've not see it on Singapore models before.

Read this bible
For flash read this.

The concept of flash usage is steep. To my experience, one must really understand the basic of flash in photography in order to really use flash properly. It almost another course on photography

Thank you hammie!!

from your answer i can tell you've already set your mind on the 50. Just buy what makes you happy, it's your hobby after all, not mine nor anyone elses. We can just advice only, ultimately it's up to u, either choice is good anyway. :thumbsup:

i hate not having the freedom when using tripod. lol, somemore with the raynox the focal distance approx. 4 - 5 inches. Have to find the sweet spot, I think if u see me taking macro u will laugh. LOL. I feel shag after, sometimes im lying on the ground even. :bsmilie: But sometimes the bugs will be in a position that will be tough, I wouldnt mind a monopod in this instance. haha.

I have never regretted to get myself a 430EXII flash.
It has served me well for all my indoor shoots.
IMO, I think that it is a good investment.

Strongly agree but sometime cropping might help to improve the composition a little bit.
However, good composition skill is very important as it can save your workflow time.
