All very clean and nice shots! Yes, get the grip for 550D it's a lot better. Indeed the VF is sadly not there. Shall look at FF next :bsmilie:

Nice growth in the number of new 550D users, enjoy the new toy and most of all...bring it out of the closet!

To d guys who were talking abt getting lens, if u can afford go for d canon 50mm f1.4 or even better sigma 50mm f1.4. No doubt d 50mm f1.8 is usable n sharp too... Sign but many times I see ppl use it, it really make d whole system look damn cheap... Sign d plastic look of it just look too Jiak lak. Lol I shd be saving for 50mm f1.4 canon

I actually like the feel/look of the 50 f1.8 on my 550d... doesnt look too intimidating to others esp when you're taking candid shots.

use too big a lens and they get all stiffy and stuff.

plus its super light in that combi. great for lugging it around all day.

the 15-85 is oso just nice for a walkabout lens; its the one lens that i'm thinking of buying to keep n use as a kit lens.. but still with the 50 1.8, my cam is like a throw in the bag, bring anywhere cam... doesn't matter if i'm not shooting that day, just go out oso can bring along..

with the 15-85, i could, but i wouldn't just chuck it in my bag everyday.. i would use it when i'm going with something in mind.. i know i will shoot sth...

depends la... could be $100 less could be $200...

the warranty just have to make sure its the international warranty card... unless its the new lens, the warranty will be the local warranty only..

yea, u have to scout for the shops with the best prices and check the warranty card before you purchase or else the savings might not be worth it in the first place
