Yeah i know post CnC can get more response, but well, before posting there i would like to seek a couple of CnCs from fellow 550D mates thus posting here.

And posting in CnC require the mod to approve else it won't be up.

Haha thanks! Actually, it was pitch dark when I was shooting this. Then use a lao pok torchlight that doesn't use batteries ( mus squeeze manually ) .. gave me goosebumps :sweat:

i shall have a try at it as well! poor students like me will have to resort to laopok torchlights until i save up enough for flash :bsmilie:

Yeah i agree. All factors are very important so as to be able to portray a nice picture.

I also want to get 580ex I remember asking mscolor, they quoted me around 8xx. Did you manage to find any place which can offer cheaper?

I also want to get christmas lightings and leds.

Mass Order online? Apparently canon has a rebate ongoing in the US. I think with shipping and GST...can save. Hoping to find a cheaper alternative before I commit to this deal!

395 USD, about 42 USD shipping ~ 437 USD = 605 SGD ~ 647 SGD after GST.
Not sure if GST applies to the shipping charges or not. ><

Better if you invest in a dry box. Much better if a dry cabinet.
BBB virus ah! Haha!
You might also want to consider 17-55 2.8 or 24-70L for indoor events like that, rather than teles

Oh i have a dry cabinet already.. just that I wanna put a silica gel in the 5 million dollar crumpler bag when i bring it out

oh ok. i do that too. i have silica gel that came from my lcd tv. i put it in my camera bag when i go out. i think that silica gel for food should be the same

Guys, I was quoted by a shop 550d + EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 USM IS for $1120. And 550d kit 1 for $1290. Which shall I get?

550D + 15-85mm F3.5-F5.6 IS USM for only $1120, is that a mistake??

 

[soons]

2 pics for today, taken a while back.

"Watashi wa hachi-roku desu!"

My niece, jumping. Taking with on-board flash, so u will know obviously an external flash is better. (Didn't bring it out, brought my small sling bag)

get the 550d+15-85mm if it is indeed only $1120 :bsmilie: looks like the 550d body is free there, or did you mean $2120?

You should have taken the 550d+15-85 rightaway and took advantage of their misquote:bsmilie:

 

[ducky88]

They states me 1120. Included gst.

I thought so too

Which shop? I won't mind getting a second body with that lens at this price

 

[ducky88]

Jus called them. It was a error. Haha.

 

[bellevue18]

I think 1120 is for body only, 1290 for body w kit 1.
