Got My Canon 450D Finally

Today is the day when a big hole will be burnt in our pockets.

After having our breakfast, we headed to Sg Wang, KL all the way from Melaka to get something that's luring us for the past weeks and months.


Kimfei, the driver, and...


Jian and Hanping

Four of us, the soon-to-be photographer.... wannabe... LOL!

When we reached Sg Wang around 11 something, the whole place is so quiet, not crowded like during weekends. I like.



Without wasting much time, we started going from shops to shops for price surveying. The price is almost the same, but the services from the shop varies. Some explain to us how the things work patiently; some just ignore us; and one even like quarreling with us (Kesian Han Ping, he's the one kena. Luckily I don't know how to speak fluent Cantonese! XD)

We tried a few models to "feel" the body before deciding. The one I aimed for the past weeks didn't disappoint me. It fits perfectly in my hand.



Fattien came around 1pm and we had lunch together while he shares his knowledges with us. He's a nice and friendly person.



After the lunch, Fattien had to go back to his work, leaving 4 of us to continue hunting for our babes. After some surveyings and discussion, we finally decided to get from the first shop we visited in Sg Wang. The shop lady smiled when she saw us. 4 dSLRs to be sold at the same time with cash, imagine that.



After some negotiating and cock talking in the shop, we paid the money, and walked out happily with 2 Canon 450D, 2 Canon 400D and empty pockets.

We had yumcha session in Old Town Coffeeshop together with Hung Wei who dropped by in Sg Wang for the fashion show at 8. So the 5 of us, sitting in the coffeeshop, drinking and chit chatting until the time when we should be going back... YEA RIGHT! Right after we sat down, all of us took out our dSLRs and started to play with it like thrilled kids. Of course, we learned something from Hung Wei who is glad to teach us.

Tarak Jian with his Canon 400D's pic... :P

I bought myself a Canon 450D with Canon 50mm f1.8 prime lens, which means I can only eat grass for the next few months T______T



Included in the package are: Camera Bag, 2GB SD card, Tripod, Canon Backpack, UV filter and screen protector.

Congratulations. I was wondering if it's OK for you to tell me the price you paid for the 400 and 450 respectively? Been contemplating on getting myself a 400 too. :-)
