me also 2nd yr, frm DCNT. Paid 55 bucks for it and erm the carrying bag costs another 10 bucks. Thats what i think also, most of the A40 users will wanna upgrade but first, will want to master A40 1st of course. Also not too sure about what camera to get, sort of felt that Canon cameras the colors are more vibrant, so i would wanna stick to Canon. But unfortunately, can't really find a Canon camera to satisfy my needs except for the old Pro 90 IS, well hoping that since its old, it might have and upgrade version out.

old Pro 90.....is it the one that can zoom v. far? dun remember liao^^|...haha..ya lor.....i think i use the canon " noise free "......now see sony......sometimes also find it a bit bit noisey......so far, canon d.c seems to be the most noise free one.
but......then.....G series.....does not seems like that more advance .....so oso dunno^^|,,
but first thing now is brush up my photography skills.....and learn at least more basics lor^^ hahaha.....

no la...my 2 sets of sony are second hand one.....including my sony one hr charger...bought from horus at $34 for one 1hr sony charger and 8 x 1700mah sony batt^^

star six filter is actually to get the star effect when u take shot...especially night shot. [actually for some camera, just need to use smaller aperture ...e.g F8 can liao...but dunno why A40 is die die also cannot~~]
personally..i think one or two star is nice in a night shot.....but but...too much star is...too ...er....."too star"???

welcome to try^^ hahaha.....gd thing abt using same camera...can try try^^ hahhaa...no prob...if...er...we got chance to go shooting together? but u might have to wait till i come back from hk...
can ur "itch to buy" tahan until then or not?^^ hahhahaah

for anyone out there who's still intending to buy the A40.

My gf bought hers at SLS Song Brothers (upstairs)

for $395 plus GST.
no kidding.

Also got a 128mb CF card and 4x GP 1600
batteries and standard charger plus a camera bag all in for $530.

Thought that this is a really good price.

Stocks there are running low so go go go!

I see, yup agreed, can't get the star effect, by the way how much does that cost? Nah, won't be upgrading my camera so soon, have to wait for quite long. Anyway Thanks for the kind comments abt my shots.
