    Canon 1000d overseas - to buy or nt?

    I see.. got a Class 6 Transcend SDHC card. Should be quite ok. Yep I've already bought a UV filter :) I am staying here for 3 more mths till my internship ends. When I asked the salesman he said the dry box is nt really needed with the weather here. I guess it applies more to SG since...

    Canon 1000d overseas - to buy or nt?

    Hi guys, I'm looking into getting an entry-lvl dslr. Either Canon1000d or nikond60. I am in China now doing my internship and hope to use this time to pick up photography as well. I've asked around for the prices and 1000d with lens kit costs about SGD900 after conversion. Cheaper than in...
