soons: just got the GGS protector for 550D, freaking awesome, sticks well and fits the LCD perfectly!

you may take away the partitions (change its orientation), should have sufficient room to attach 18-135 with body.

Thanks. Did just that. Now still can do that cos I have nothing else to put inside

Guys, I have a question to ask.

How much will a UV filter cost?(From the cheapest to mid-range) I just want to protect my kit II lens.

Any brand or shops to recommend?

Not worth buying top-of-the-range filter for a cheap kit lens, so don't let salesman chop you into buying B&W or Hoya-Pro ! Should get a decent one for less than $20. Look here : http://www.sgcamerastore.com/filters/cat_15.html?page=1

Guys,

How much will Hoya UV filter for my Kit II cost?

Do you guys know where to purchase packs of silica gel?

Any shops to recommend? Forgive me, I'm a newbie.

Btw, it's really irritating when everytime you wanna take photos, sweat or oil will smudge the LCD. I wonder if the GGS protector is available at shops...

Nice GGS SP.
Someone did Bulk order ?

I suppose they can, but for a fee. Contact them to clarify.

 

[dissonance]

and i still yet to receive mine.. monday is the last day..

 

[Syazwan37]

I received a call from My Monster camera just now regarding the GGS protector & transfer information.

Btw guys, I got an another newbie question.

Does resizing the image from 'Large/Fine' to 'Medium/Fine' will reduce the overall image quality and resolution?

Thank you in advance!

Hi all,

I'm thinking of getting a lens hood for my 550D Kit II lens. But i'm not sure what kind of lens hood i should get.

Any suggestions?

18-135 should use the same lens hood as 18-200mm. (72mm?)

Anyway, my 550D suprised me today: I filled up 1 x 4GB memory card and 1 x 8GB memory card (About 1100+ pics) for the Formula Drift event with just 1 battery!! Somemore it is the $25 3rd party battery that I bought. I thought I had my original canon battery inside, but it was not.

In the end, the battery died off at the end of the day when I am reviewing and deleting photos. Veyr happy with the 550D and $25 battery!!

Edit, just check the pictures... 1100+ on 4GB memory card (using Fine Large, approx 2~3MB per picture, not SuperFine L)
And another 300+ pictures from my 8GB. Total near 1500. O.O
