Post your Camera here!

mga master, i'm planning to buy this camera soon ----->>>> Canon EOS 30D with Canon 17-85mm f/4-5.6 EF-S IS USM Autofocus Lens at BH. Price is $1,649.95 with $230 rebate when purchased before Feb 19. 2007. I just need your suggestions and comments. Thank you in advance.

noob pa lang kosa kalibutan sa DSLR, mga duha-on pa gyud ka bulan.... i was been at your position last December but not on Canon rather i opted for the Nikon. I poured man hours on research (which DLSR suitable for me) and the result was.......... All roads lead to Nikon D80 (prosumer DLSR) but on that day i'm going to pick the D80. The saleperson convinced me to grab the consumer DLSR & save the money for the lens. Will he is right & i'm happy with my D50 outfit. I'm not playing devil advocate here, just want to share a lil experience. If i'm in your shoes, i may buy the Canon consumer DSLR (e.g. rebel or rebel xti) body & suitable lens for your photographic aps. Maybe few years down the road, they will introduce a new technology on DSLR and its perfect time to upgrade a new body while you gain some skills from your old gear.

Last month i have this plan. Like mid of this year or 3Q, i schedule to buy a decent lens & flash but as the days gone i'm craving those stuff. Just today i finally address my agony & they will deliver the lens by next week for the flash i pick-up late afternoon. Para naku once you acquire your body with kit lens, it just a mere beginning & there's a long road once you'll hook-up with photog and more magnetic strip to swipe...... AIMHO

thanks for your input guys.

by the way, I also found a site that sells a 30D body only for $600++ (BN & factory sealed). I don't know if it is true but I will call them to verify this. Will this be a good deal?

Pag bantay anang mga bogy on-line store kay sakit sa ulo makipag deal sa ilaha.... puede nimong tan-awon ilang rating kung maajo ba ang mga reviews sa ilang customer. Try bizrate its a good source.

Since you're in the US, I suggest you read this link before you buy.

It seems there are a lot of "photo stores" in the US engaged in scams

For a beginner dSLR.. You can start any model.. Theres no rule to follow here. The salesman is just a good salesman. Of course, he would recommend you the Nikon D50 for disposal since the D80 is now on the market, don't you think people will still buy the Nikon D50 then? But as long as you're happy with the purchase, enjoy!

No such rule if you'll simply loose all parameters, once you'll guarband your parameters (e.g. moolah to burn, price you pay for the technology, riding the bandwagon, technology advancement & etc). You start to think twice which gear you would like to take. Have you ever heard the line, "don't catch the falling knife".

@edwin: does BH ship directly here to Cebu? Around how long ang waiting time? Do you have to pay for taxes?
