Type of camera/lens/accesories : dSLR
Budget: No budget yet. Maybe RM4k?
Your Location: Penang
Preferable brand : No preference
Type of photography u want to do : Portrait/in-door
Any specific models in mind? : 40d
Any specific features u want? :
Low noise as good as Canon 40d or better. Cannot be worse than Canon 40d. Have Shake Reduction like K10D which
the CMOD/CCD sensor will move in X/Y axis and also rotate. Sony A100 only do X and Y axis. Has dust reduction like
Olympus E-3 which is said to be effective. Have lifeview with autofocus is better but not a must. Have lens which cost RM700 for f1.4
50mm which I want to use in low light. Hopefully come with twin lens 18mm-70mm, 75mm-300mm. ISO at least 3200.
Autofocus must be fast. So at least 9point or 11autofocus or more. Perfect AWB. Maybe as good as Nikon in metering
with 420 segment metering. Separate light for low light focusing. Should not use the flash for low light focus. 3" LCD
preferable. Battery life must be excellent. Speed at least 6fps.

Lol, if u find this camera in 4k-5k range, pls let me know too.

Even without considering the price tag, no camera (yet) can fulfill all the requirements above.

Be realistic shall we?

Sorry, I just said A560 IS. There's no A560 IS. There's A570IS, A650IS, A720IS...
All this got image stabilizer. Canon is the most famous for Point and Shoot camera.

You can get cheaper with other brand though smile.gif

How about 400D kit + Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 Macro?

You'll get wide angle, telezoom, and macro in one package smile.gif
Good start for beginner

Obviously that's above his budget which is around 3k. Even if it's slightly cheaper than 3k, he can only get himself a body.
