Great review tanx for sharing.. Would love to get a hand on this.. When will be out on Singapore?

[PeeHooo]

Seems a pretty solid camera to me!

Though I think 600D is a better deal, you can get it so cheap these days that buying this over 600D doesnt make much sence. :)

Dam that's good for entry level. I imagine it's the 18mp CMOS found in the 7d 60d and the rest

Dear Canon, please stop releasing "new" models for the sake of releasing new models.

[sugatak]

Canon Australia which one is better processor? digic 4 or the digic 5

[EAG]

okay, as a replacement for 1100D the only difference I assume is the 18 MP and rubber grip. although I would also assume that this is going to be more expensive. =(
