Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just bought a canon zoom telephoto 55-250 IS lens for my Rebel XT from Photo Circle. No idea how the dude had it in stock because no one seems to have it online. A friend bought a Canon EOS 40D as well so got both for a really good price. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Was browsing through photography books in Landmark(bookstore) last weekend. In it in the advice section, it was mentioned that the duty for digital cameras and digital SLR's are going to be made 0% from Jan 2008. And it was adviced to postpone any buying decision till the new year, since the camera prices in the grey market and authorised shops is expected to even out. Dont remember which magazine, as i was browsing through a lot of them. So cannot give any link or solid source. But food for thought. Anand.S |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() @Samurai, only if i read your post on the duty cut i would have postponed my decision. ![]() So, bought myself a Sony T70, its a 8M pixel, with 3 inch LCD touchscreen. Have been using it for a week now and feel very happy about. Especially the close macro. It has revealed me a whole new world of close up of rings, buttons, & raindrops ![]() It was a grey market purchase paid 12500 for it, and a 2 gb card for 1000. I saw the magazine only after i purchased the camera and was browsing through the spencer shopping mall where i bought it. Anand.S |

shot interior for taj, oberoi & leela, raymonds, lakme, de beers diamonds etc etc, enjoyed still life too with a 4"x5" sometimes with a 6x9cm roll film back, real pleasure to use the tilt/shift feature... when I spoke to the people who would assist me on shoots till early 2005, they did talk about 'the good old days' of using 4"x5" at times upto 30-40 120 films in a day if one was shooting people.. they mentioned its all digital now... | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Finally got my Canon S5 IS today after a long wait, thanks to the holiday season. I havent had much time to spend with it as yet but here are my initial impressions: 1. The camera has a solid feel and DSLR like appearance. 2. The lens cover as stated by a lot of people is something which keeps popping out often. But, personally it doesnt really pose me a problem. 3. The battery compartment is something which one needs to get used to. In other words, its not quite user-friendly. 4. I have shot very few pics indoors as its dusk already and I must admit that they have come out well. I am waiting for tomorrow when I can try my novice expertise in day light. Will post some pics soon. Meanwhile, this is what I got out of the box (except the leather case which I bought separately for $30) which set me back by $333. ![]() ![]() Last edited by rr_zen : 22nd December 2007 at 10:18. |

So, do not lug it all the way from wherever you are buying it. Last edited by Zappo : 26th December 2007 at 14:11. | |
