in the end, i'm getting a...

canon eos 450d... :P

its a close fight between sony alpha a350 and canon eos 450d... both are of the same pricing... there are 2 groups of people who are affecting my choice, the sales group, and the pro-user group... it seems professional users don't like sony and the sales promoters loves to promote the sony model... funny trend i noticed...

however, its always best to listen to the pros... got one last advice from my wedding photographer, alvin who uses a nikon camera... and the advice is "i uses the nikon camera, but if to choose between canon and sony, i rather go for canon..."

okie, then where to buy neh? after some 'researches', i presented the proposal to joelle (who became the major share holder of the camera after forking out $500 for me)...
