Canon the pro-sumer DSLR (Digital Single lens reflex) camera ‘speed freak’ manufacturer has recently released the new replacement for the Canon EOS 40D which was the fastest pro-sumer DSLR in the market for 2007. However, it’s not much of a difference with the new Canon speedster; the EOS 50D. It is only a tad bit faster in terms of FPS (frames per second) with its 90 frames instead of 75 frames of its predecessor.

The brand for the studio flash lighting is Tianlai ‘Golden Eagle’ JY-180A (China brand). They do look like some high tech medical equipment but they are a photographer’s precision lighting equipment. I believe it is the best buy (cheapest) for a new 200 watt 3 light studio set up anywhere in Malaysia. Replacement light bulb is the purpose built 50 watts Halogen bulb which costs RM10 to RM15 per piece at retail photo shops.

So I had fun at Photo Flash, chatting with the good sales people & went over to browse & perhaps buy some stuff at the FMC technologies computer shop on the third floor, Ampang Point. Soon enough, Jimmy called to my cell phone & we talked how to go about the deal. Naturally, I wanted all brand new stuff & he assured me that all items are brand new with warranty. He can meet me tonight at Ampang Point after his meeting elsewhere.
However, the price for the same items had increased to MYR 2100 & he will have to pay for the items first. Jimmy probably was charging me an extra MYR 100 ($31.25) for his troubles. After thinking about it, I was reluctant at first with the deal but considering that he was going to travel all the way from PJ to meet me at Ampang Point, heck I could even ask him to send it straight to my home; so I said to him ‘No, Problem’ & he will give me a call when he is in Ampang.
