How do u know the results of F1.4 when u haven't know how to use the lens correctly??
I gave up F1.4 and switch to zoom F2.8 as I find zoom F2.8 suits my shooting better.
Would anyone go for 3rd party battery grip and batteries like Phottix?
should be out in 2-4 weeks time.
I read many posts before this, some had the divipower batteries and work well for them.
I likely will get a original battery grip, haven't feel the 3rd party one before.

nice one brother. ya photography is friggin ex...so i decided that until my skills are better (or i suddenly turned rich) then i'd upgrade. if not...tahan lor. The grip is good right? pretty solid. compared to my bg-e2n, its way better. but i wish canon cameras were as smart as nikon's. we dun know exactly how much power we are left. for nikon, when they use bg, they will know exactly which batt left how much power exactly in percentage.
damn, why must the original stuff be sold so expensively??? batteries dun cost much to produce. sighs. now im juz using a batt grip with one batt...dun see the need for another for now.

to be fair with 3rd party batteries, actually the guy at AP tried to persuade me to buy the 3rd party battery. he said it's good enough. i'm just so stubborn to buy the original canon...
yeah it's pretty solid to hold. my big hands feel more comfortable holding the camera now.. shooting portaits are now easier.
(if i had a 50d or 7d, which have big bodies, i would've had one less reason to buy the bg.)
it's the brand name we're paying for, as always.. but yeah i also feel two batts are an overkill. tho that one day when my batt drained in malaysia taught me a lesson..
Hi guys.
I am actually using a Olympus E-P1 right now. So i am actually thinking of going for a real DSLR now. I realise that sensor size really matter. And i had fun playing with my friend's 500D. So I am actually looking through this thread. And i found this 550D with the REBEL T2i Label. Does all 550D come with that label? I just thought that label is really cool, definitely a plus.
And do you guys suggest i get the camera in the next IT fair or, should i just get from shops? I am thinking of getting the body and use tamron's f2.8 17-55mm. How much do you think i need to buy this combi?
One last one. How would 550D compare to Nikon D90?
Many thanks! :embrass:

you can read the review of D90 vs 550D comparison
i personally prefer D90 features, higher fps, body size.
but i went with Canon for its value, 1080p recording, ISO performance of entry DSLR.
after trying out few times between D90 & 550D, I prefer the natural colors (neutral to me) from Canon.
i quoted from someone "when you need a camera, just get it."
but for me, i'm learning and i know it can achieve good imaging to keep special moments.

is the proper sized 550d lcd screen protector out yet?
Guys I need some advice.
I plan to get a 550D + 50mmf/2.8 soon.

- Kit 2 (18-135mm) $1429 or
- Just get the 550D body $ 992 >Since can get a cheaper 2nd hand zoom lense ??
????
Please advice.
Thanks
