Hi guys..
I had been into photography few years ago and now seriously considering to move forward into dSLR.
Out of the brands and models out there, I had decided to go for either 350D or 400D.
What I fancy about 400D over 350D:
- 10MP
- Low pass filter with ultra-sonic vibration
- Nine area Auto Focus sensor
- Larger 2.5" LCD screen
- Camera settings made on main LCD
What I fancy about 350D over 400D:
- Cheaper. Price does matter =)
- No underexposure issue like 400D with kit lense (how is this issue in m'sia and s'pore? is it only on certain batch? or it's a known general issue?)
- Dedicate status panel, which has no irritating white backlid like 400D's ..?
- Errr, cheaper. =)
NOW that I've sort of made up my mind to go for 400D after receiving e-quotation from one of the reliable shop =)
Here are the prices for your reference:
- Canon EOS 400D Body : $1118 + 5% GST
- Canon EOS 400D Kit : $1265 + 5% GST
Now, I have another doubt on which option to go for, and need recommendations/thoughts from you guys =)
1. Go for 400D Kit and stay with (lousy?) Kit Lense until I have more budget (dono when =P) to get better lense
2. Get 400D Body (saves around $150+) and get a 3rd party lense which is slightly better than the kit lense
The thing is, if there are any better (than kit lense) 3rd party lense around $200+ I would consider that.
This is because: My budget is no more than $1500, and I will need to spend on a 2nd battery + lense hood (if not come together with lense) + filter -- which should not cost more than $100.
** OPTIONS : I may also consider getting any good deal second hand lense =) But more advises needed for that!!
Please, your opinions are needed! Thanks! =)
