Default at a point where i need to decide what to spend on

so heres the deal,

im going to sell my 300D + some other lens right.. i figure i will get about 1.2-1.5k sgd in all.

so with the money i get + some money i have ...

i was deciding if i should get a 20D with the money and save up for a 70-200mm f/4 some time in the future

or get the 350xt + 70-200mm F/4

and not get the 20D all together

both are around the same money wise

after selling my lenses, i'll have a tokina 12-24 and a tamron 24-75 with me still.

what do you guys think ?

how about just selling your lens, and get a 70-200?
Than wait for a while and see what new body canon will push out after the new year?

I feel that unless you want to upgrade to 20D. If not stay with your 300D. 350D I find it too small for me. Why not just sell your lens and save up for 70-200mm F/4 ...

If you managed to raise 1.5k, I doubt you could get a resale 20D

Include credit card charges for forex, forex, shipping charges, taxes (for foreign online store purchases), and I still doubt you could get it for 1.5k. If you can, dlo share with us : ) I'm sure a lot of fellow forumers would benefit from this new lobang.

it was 999 for a 20d and 600 for 350xt

prices in usd.

but i think the offer maybe over. what im trying to say is that you can get prices like that here in the u.s ...

Yeah. Fantastic prices

Sorry for the digression then. I would think you would see more difference moving to 20D than 350D.
