[peejay05]

hihi, did u get the 50mm f1.8 @$60 as part of the canon online warranty promo? how do u go abt doing it? is it worth getting? thks!

yup i got the $60 lens. after buying the camera just proceed to the canon showroom near harbourfront centre, then register online (using the computers there haha) and just buy the lens lo.
yup i feel thats it quite worth getting cos one of the reasons of buying this dslr is to take nice portrait shots so i enjoyed using it quite alot.

thanks for all the welcome messages! i've been reading the stickies and noob guides, hope to join the beginners outing soon!
