Hello frnds!!

Sorry for having a too late entry in the thread... :)

I have finalised Canon 550D with a increase in my budget..

Is this combination ok??

hmm............. Dont you think 550D is too old?
maybe you can try the 5100D with kit lense Or a D3100.
Dont fall in for megapixels.... Go for the quality of sensor

I am sorry I thought u have confused between 75-300(11k) and 70-300(38k) but u knew it :D

550D with kit price is ok but 70-300 is selling for 37.820 in flipkart, letsbuy and jjmehta.com

soo tell the dealer to reduce the price to 38k

Canon 70-300 USM IS is a superb lens....if u dont want birding and want a better one then get Canon 70-200 f/4 L @41k ...its a pro lens those white one...and ultimate at that price

lots and lots of difference in sharpness/contrast, u will get f4 even on 200mm but in 70-300 u will get 5.6 or 6.3 at 200-300mm

and that f4 will be very sharp...at 300mm the pic quality decreases :)

@ishan_kkr yes it will do....just keep in mind when taking pics at low light see that shutter speed does not go below 1/100 at 200mm :)

look I can tell u a thing...if u get 70-300 most probably u have to use 300mm at f/7 or f8 to get sharp pics...now at f7 or f8 u wont get good shutter speed at night...ur IS will help u handhold at 1/30 ..

but with 70-200 f4 u will get sharp pics at f4 itself....at same situation as above u will get better pic without IS

Forgive me for not following the discussion, so my advice may be a repost... but here it goes..

Go for Canon 550D, u can get it between 30-35k on ebay.
IMO, you won't get this price on retail outlets, they will be quoting 35+.
Prompt me if you can't find it there.

@animesh ....ur post is not helping current discussion :D

@ishan_kkr sorry if I am too much bent toward 70-200 f4 ....if u r planning to use it for little birding then better get 70-300...200mm is just less for birds ...

Sorry for jumping in late:-

Stretch your budget a bit more if possible

Get 550D (or 500D depending on budget) + 18-55 IS + 50mm F1.8 ll + 55-250mm IS

Theres a long discussion on jjmf regarding which is better between 55-250mm and 75-300mm and 55-250mm gets majority of votes.

Its better to go for all the three lens at one go, as once you purchase, you wont invest in the equipment sooner.

If you are insistent upon 300mm, then Sigma 70-300mm DG Macro APO is a good bet though 55-250mm IS image quality would still be better than this. IS does matter a lot.

@ishan_kkr if u want good zoom with nice quality u should go for canon 70-300 USM its a good lens

U have already told me the purpose and I thing using ISO boost and a quality lens like 70-300 USM u can get what u want :)

Ah!! If budget permits, definitely 70-300 IS.

If you could still tweak your budget, you must also include Canon 50mm F1.8 ll lens. Its a great lens to have. The price would be around 5.3K.
