Upgraded with a Canon EOS 650D

We recently purchased a Canon EOS 650D DSLR camera to replace our Sony Cybershot point-and-shoot model.

The Canon EOS 650D

We are very excited and have been enjoying experimenting with it and trying to learn all about these pro cameras.

The best feature of the Canon EOS 650D is this beautiful flexible touchscreen, the first of its kind on a DSLR camera

We took a few shots of the children (they are such apt and willing models), and I went for a walk this morning to test out the Canon EOS 650D with some nature landscapes.

  4. Duncan -that does look like a fantastic camera, and I'm sure you will learn about it much more quickly than I did mine! I still use the Auto setting most of the time! I am intrigued - there is a comment above from thisisme (no photo) - but I definitely did NOT leave that comment. I sure hope that no one is posing as me! :(

  13. Hi Duncan ... Great to see your new Canon. I purchased the Canon D600 earlier this year and have loved using it. The flip screen is a big bonus.

  14. Wow, that's one cool cam, man! With this pro, I think you will be able to capture real nice close ups of the moon. Waiting to see you do a new post on the orb in the sky that poets wax lyrical on or is it over, Duncan.

  15. Great buy, it's a very good camera for its price. Did you buy the 18-55 lens? What package did you get? Cheers :)

  17. Thanks for all the replies. I am really happy and terribly excited to experiment with the camera! To answer John, I bought the camera with the 18-55mm lens kit, which is basic, but I need to learn how to fully use it first. The other lenses out there will cost another RM3,000!
