Amazingly he asked ppl not to think of it as a review in the beginning:bsmilie: , however, the more I read the more like a review it seemed, although it was not very conclusive or convincing IMO.

YET still, :think: almost bought me over to the 400D over the 30D...:sweat:

Yeah, his "non-review" is quite convincing.

 

[Lensman]

Definitely, but what if u have to do long exposures? IS can never replace the tripod.

Yes. that is a good point here.

A lot depends on one's prefered subjects.

I dun do long exposure or fireworks.

anyway, I saw the carbon-based tripod in HK for under $300...... tempting.....

 

[tamiya_model]

How dare you say IS can never replace the tripod!?:bsmilie: Must be hopeful mah.

Still waiting for the day where I can make a 1 min exposure:sweat: with IS... :think: :bsmilie:

Hi, anyone wondered or know where the dust will go to after being "shaken" off from the sensor in the 400D?

Hey good question! I didn't think of that. Imagine if it all builds up inside the body.

Maybe there's some slot that opens up to release it? :dunno:

Probably have a "tray" underneath to hold the dust particles, so when u hold the camera in a vertical position it goes back to the sensor again :bsmilie: …nar...probably there is an adhesive tray or something … otherwise they will come out with a special vacuum cleaner as an accessory :bsmilie: Wonder if there is any additiional maintenance for this feature? :think:

According to Canon Singapore, the EOS 400D will be available on local shelves come September 8, with Singapore being the first in an Asia-wide rollout. The kit, which includes an 18-55mm lens, will retail at a recommended street price of S$1,669 (US$1,061.84). No updates have been given on when the camera body will be sold separately, or how much. Meanwhile, its predecessor, the EOS 350D, has been repriced to S$1,399.

Consumers in Singapore always get the raw deal. If the rrp is indeed as stated, it is almost US$200 more expensive than the USA list price.

Yes, I do know the smaller shops will offer lower prices. But canon products in singapore are always introduced at a higher (sometimes considerable) RRP than other markets.
