You refering to DSLR is it?

With you budget, you can consider Nikon D40/x with kit (around 1.5k) or Nikon D60 with kit (around 2.2K) or Canon 400D with kit (around 2k).

By the way, please refer to the Sun newspaper today, the Sony Alpa cameras are damm cheap....

Sony A200 with twin kit lens only RM 2,099;
A300 with single kit len or twin kit lens are just only RM 2k and 2.5K respectively;
A350 single len is only RM 2.5K.

If you are treated photography as a hobby, Sony Alpha might be a good choice for you.

Hi,
i am not a serious photography fan, A300 twin kit is better or A350 single lens since both are the same price?

In term of body, A350 is better than A300. A350 offer 14mp while A300 only 10mp. A lot of forumers comment that the Sony's second kit len is crappy and not worth to get it. If you want to find out more bout Sony A350 or A300, you can post your queries in Sony Alpha thread.

I am in a dilemma, i cant decide between A300 or the compact E420; the E420 is quite nice cos its small. (i know DSLR are meant to be big but, cant help it).

Recommended places to get your dSLRs are YL Camera @ Pudu Plaza, J-One @ Amcorp Mall and Photo Selangor @ Pertama Complex. Others I have no experience with are Boeing and Tarita in Sg. Wang.
