Which camera do you own

I sold off all my Nikon 35mm film cameras and lenses at the right time - when prices were still high 
.... but I still have 2 35mm film cameras which are in working condition - both of these are of pocket size. I am sure the Minox must be a collectors camera by now - it must be about 25 years old. The Olympus is around 20 years old.
I nearly forgot... I still have my HALF MP SONY Mavica which I bought about 10 years back stores pics on a floppy. 10x Optical zoom.

Anyways, my advice would be to sell both and get a 30Dhyeah:
Is 30D even available here?
I havent seen it anywhere in mumbai.
I got 400D from US but i wont be able to import anything till june atleast.
I was planning to sell 350D and invest in better lenses.
I have EF-S 18-55 and tamron AF 18-200 xr di II at the moment.
^ Tamron 18-200 is a bad lens lol. CA by the dozen and lots of pincushion distortion at 200mm.
But since you already must have paid 17k, dump the 18-55 kit and get a 17-50 Tamron f/2,8, I'm buying one for sure. $200 cheaper than the 17-40 f/4L, and pretty much sharper, its a steal for $440 (US).

I am wella ware of the 18-200 limitations. Its not great lens. But that was the only one available here at jjmehta and i needed one to shoot certain family functions. Thats why i bought it. And to be honest its not as bad as u made it look like if you dont wana use it as primary lens. 
I am going to buy 2 new lenses and i need one which can go beyond 200mm. Was looking at Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS and other one be 17-55 f/2.8.
Lets see. For now i am only deciding what to get. Purchase will be may end or june only.

Heh, yea, that's true, but a 105mm focal length is more than enuf for wedding.. unless.. *ahem* !
The 17-55 f/2.8 IS is gorgeous ! Straight $1k damage.
As for the tele, you mean the 70-300 DO IS USM ? Get the 70-200 f/4L IS with a 1.7x tele instead, waaay sharper
Edit : Okay, sorry, u meant the f/4-5.6
, that's probably the cheapest telephoto with IS, so great buy !EdwardElric

the only bad points tht it has iz the 3x optical zoom wch iz a bit limiting and the macro mode wch iz limted to 50cms

JJmehta has the 17-85 F/4-5.6 IS as well for ~27K. You should have purchased that instead of the shitty tamron
. Anyway get 17-55 f/2.8 if u can afford it. If you want something cheaper and a bit slower, the tokina 19-35 f/3.5-4.5 is very close in sharpness for 1/5th the cost. Most ppl say the 17-44 is better than the 24-70 f/2.8 in sharpness. Whatever you do, don't buy the 17-40 f/4L. Its a lame lens for 600$. I managed to compare my tokina copy with a 17-40 this time and I have to say I was very very disappointed by the latter .- Status
