Initially they wanted to send my copy for repair but i insisted on replacement as it was "new but faulty" set... Gotta give DD credit for a fuss-free replacement within 4days!
I will still get grey rather than those from BNS...
IMO this 70-200 lens is a must-get lens as it is really very very sharp! Get at least a non-IS version (around $900) and use with tripod or use shorter FL (while train yr hand to be more stable, if u can find a way...hehe) I m so amazed by it that it gets into action with me 80% of time nowaday...

wow 80% of the time, really so good ah. Ok set.
no problem
if you need to reduce the vibration from the mirror slap, go to custom functions and activate mirror lock up as well..

No. Dont use it all the time, cos it will cause a delay between your shutter button press and taking a picture. Only use this when you are taking long exposure on a tripod and want to prevent the vibration of the mirror from affecting your picture.
Far far away

Maybe you can call up reputable shops like MS COLOR, John 3:16, SLRR to find out. Good to compare quotes.
if looking for really cheap go for 2nd hand in b&s.. still got some with warranty.. as good as getting new and save a couple hundreds to get a better lens..

Hi,
I am actually a D80 (18 - 135) user (changing due to the weight of the D80 plus I want a camera that can do video as well) but I am intending to sell it and get a 550D with the following setup:
Canon 550D with 18 - 135mm kit lens (as all around day lens for travelling)
and EF50mm f/1.4 USM or EFS 50mm F1.8 lens (for night and portrait shots)
and maybe eventually to get EF-S10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM
My question is:
Is it really worth the difference in cost to get the 50mm f/1.4 USM lens?
As for the wide angle zoom, is the sigma lens very much more expensive? And is it worth it to get the canon lens or the sigma one?
I use my camera only for travelling mostly. I dont like to carry a tripod around so small f-number will be better for me to get night shots or low light shots.
Can any brothers and sisters advice? Thanks!
