forgot.. but you can check it out at Cathay Photo. For tripod, look for Jimmy Chia, I would say he is good at explaining at tripod, a nice chap to show you the features of the tripods at your needs.

true its tough cos the screen so high res, the pixels so small

Anyway forget abt. It will be sad just thinking abt it. Life have to go on...

 

[compgen]

what i did was take the picture with manual focus and the lens cap still attached.. it will produced black image, zoom in and see around.. after that take out the lens cap, shot the av wider aperture to white or paper and zoom it again.. but off course, our eyes could fail us

Too late now, that time when I buy should have done but did not. Actually i tried calling SLRR that time n they have no stock. Tell them to inform me once got stock n they reserve 1 for me. So I assume quite safe...

$80 meh? thought about $100?

Ya S$80 for Phottix grip (w/o 2 x batteries). See here http://shop.ebay.com.sg/i.html?_nkw=BP-550D+Grip+for+Canon+EOS+550D+Rebel+T2i+BG-E8&_sacat=0&_sop=2&LH_AvailTo=180&_odkw=BG-E8&_osacat=0&bkBtn=&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313

Nice meeting every one here.

Thank You

getting tamron or canon17-55?

Tamron's 17-50 and Canon's 17-55. Little bit of diff..

 

[zonal77]

LOL thats wayyyy overbudget for me and for most of us (i guess)... even i find the 550D batt grip ex hoping it will drop to like $80 or smth. i actually dun mind 2nd hand but hv to wait for 600D to come out b4 ppl will start selling 2nd hand

Original Canon ones are impossible to drop to $80...even second hands...

Guess you will have to take a look at the phottix ones...
