Official Canon 550D User Thread Part II

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the welcome.
I got my 550D Kit II (EF-S 18-135mm) + Crumpler bag, 2x8GB card + 2xEF Lense Work III book +mini 5D MkII flash drive (2GB i think) at AP for $1588 (w GST, cash). Got the Phottix BP-550D for $115 there also. Unfortunately they ran out of EF-50mm f1.8

I did some calculation... not worth paying full $1799 at PC Show to get the extra tripod + media player + 50mm at $89.
If you buy from outside PC show within these 4 days (Thurs-Sun), you get to claim the Crumpler bag at Keppel Bay and claim your mini flash drive at the PC Show level 1 (not for the cheap 50mm though).

$1588 (w GST, cash) is "cheap" for 550D Kit II with all the accessories. Think previously that offer is not too attractive.

Hi to all!

I just gotten my 550D KitII at SLRR for $1622 (inc GST, Cash) with Hoya filter, Screen protector, 8GB SD card, len book and crumpler. I'm suppose to collect the last three items from Canon directly.

Hopefully it was a good deal...

I was actually deciding btw D90 and 550D.. it was a pretty tough choice cos the feel for D90 is more solid and ergonomics but 550D has more advance technology. Eventually decided on 550D.. hee!

Btw, MS color only left with 550D kit I and they have sold out D90 as well.

I decided to get from HN to save a trip down to AMK, and also since my first DSLR, good to have some of these freebies too. Can also use credit card and monthly instalment...

 

[TristanRed]

Got it for $36.

MS tried selling me Kit I and they seemed pretty disinterested in serving me (since they have sold out Kit II and D90). Maybe business too good. ;p

I'm surprised to be told that they don't keep stock 7D? :dunno:

 

[Sn0wMaN]

Kit 1

kit I or kit II?
