Indecisiveness has struck once again at none other but myself, why am I not surprised. Seriously considering getting an 'upgrade' for the 400D before year 2008 ends but at the same time unable to decide on which item - between the 580EX II Speedlite or the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Zoom Lens - even though I had been weighing both the options rigorously for the past few days.
I thinks I is needs somes helps srsly!
Well, the intention to get the lens came about when I was in Bali watching a stage performance and was unable to capture the elaborate details of dancers' costumes due to limitation in zooming. Similar difficulty experienced during sight-seeing around town and places of interest as well as when trying to capture the locals from afar or inside the car (as natural as possible mah) and all that. Oh the frustration!
And the Speedlite came about due to difficulties in capturing decent looking pictures quickly during wedding dinners or functions or all those in-door stuff events where the lighting can be a bitch at times. The built in one normally requires a few tries before getting the right one, could be either due to over-exposure-ness or shadowy background.
Or perhaps I'm just giving myself excuses to get one since the above can be partially solved by attaching a diffuser to the flash, I think.
Additionally, the lens would be much more affordable compared to the flash but then the flash would required more time to get accustomed to than the flash, dilemma, dilemma, dilemma. So, back to the question again, would it be the Zoom Lens or the Speedlite. Hopefully I can (or will) get an answer by the end of this week, hhmmm...

Had lunch here (@ Gardens Hotel) sometime back - they had this super, awesome, mega deal for lunch whereby a group of 10 person would get 50% discount on the total bill, not sure whether its still on though. Comment will come soon.
