better sell off the nikon one and get a canon to prevent unneccessary problem wif the equipment.. 
Welcome to the Light Side bro.
Wow...1DmkIII + 500 f4 = my dream birding combo! That is a pretty hefty investment you got there...dun forget for the long lens you would need to spend at least a few k more to invest in a good stable support system (Gitzo CF legs + Wimberley II head), also throw in a flash bracket and maybe lencoat cover to protect the big lens. est. costing for all the listed items I think at least 21k++ SGD :faint:
You can use the Nikon SB-800 on Canon cameras but just certain fucntions/features of the flash cannot be used.
Search the forum, this has been discussed before.
However, having said that, won't it look weird to have a SB-800 mounted on a EOS 1D mk III? :dunno:

If only it was Canon, not Nikon, that produced the SB-800 flash, it would be a match made in heaven. :lovegrin: Best body + best flash at the current moment. lol.You can use the Nikon SB-800 on Canon cameras but just certain fucntions/features of the flash cannot be used.

having the best of 2 brands together.. haa..
err... isn't the best flash is made by Metz?
I've compared my friend's D70S + Metz and D70S + SB 800 combo. It seems to me that the Metz produced better result than the SB 800 :dunno:
it's just a pity that there've been some complaints about the local metz distro. this actually set me back from getting a metz

Like good photography technique coupled with a good camera, good flash technique also plays a part in getting the best results from your flash gun. I believe a lot of SB800 users will tell you all their tales about the great results they're getting, and a lot of Metz users will do the same.
to be safe, just tape the 4 pin from your hotshoe camera before you plug the flash

Thanks. Think I'll sell off my SB-800 and get Speedlite 580EX II to avoid the hassle...
I was still contemplating the use of Nikon camera strap on the Canon...
like yellow color better...:bsmilie: BTW, I called several shops but it seems that there is no stock left and will only be available after 15 Jun... (After EOS day?) MS Color gave the best quote @ 6500, AP the worst @ 6900

I think still can have "bester" quote if you have "good" relationship with the shops. Some bros here may be able to help get you a bester price.
Ai yo....you don't know what he have. 350D is a camera that he use to throw around... The equipment he has, his 60L dry cabi cannot hold all of it!!!:bsmilie:
As for where to get "bester" price, you know better then me! <- Cherkel
