[Alan]

Darn it, I just realised it should be 40D... I wish camera makers are more creative in naming their products. :redface:

[qqmeng]

but this a canon thread.... :rolleyes:

[QuickShare]

i think he meant 40D from Canon :P

[noruazumi]

[ND40]

where is the logic that a nikon D40 taken as a Canon 40D?:D:tongue_roll:

[raclette]

and canon itself had D30 before 30D :D

[ShaolinTiger]

He's talking about 40D rumours, should be coming soon :)

3" LCD etc etc.

[seraphangel]

wow, that's some confusing names there, they should really move away from the XXD, DXX naming convention.

[andythology]

is not confusing, at all. if you dive enough in the net. ;p

[qqmeng]

ic.. so he was referring canon 40D .... i wonder why he posted a nikon D40 :rolleyes:

[Alan]

Sorry folks, I was mistaken that Canon named its new DSLR the same as Nikon's D40. Silly me.

Anyway, rumours are wild on Canon's new DSLR, with pictures to boot. Where is Nikon's new DSLR that was supposed to be released in July?

Dude look at the words.

IN LENS

Means IN the LENS - not in the camera.

[dannylak23]

hmmm but if inside the lens shud not be telling us rite ? coz we also noe from the lens rite?
e.g. 70-200mm F2.8L "IS"

from ur explanation does tat mean certain camera dun hav in LENS IS function?
btw 400D got?

[Crazymalaysian]

Well read here, http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/eos40d/01.html#2

It talks of canon's IS LENSES.

Anyways it wouldnt make sense for canon to build IS into any of their cameras, as they've invested heavily into IS lenses and in-camera and in-lens IS do not work well together.

[andythology]

somebody.. help..


ok. U just adapt what is written. dun b to particular. IS ALL ABOUT "IS Lens", that's all.

[Alan]

Maybe you've been smoking ........ :rasta:
