Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM4500 with kit lens and other lens if budget permits
Your Location : KK
Preferable brand : Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : landscape, portrait, low light shooting
Any specific models in mind? : d90, d7000

I have limited experience on dslr. handled a few dslr but thats about it. my camera now is just pns camera with long zoom. What is the better choice; buying d90+kitlens+other lens or just d7000+kitlens? Thanks.

If you don't want to upgrade your DSLR body in a mid-long term (you define the period yourself), afford the best while you can, which is D7000 + kit lens. I see that you wanted to do low light shooting, get a 50mm f/1.8, it costs few hundred bucks, delivers very sharp image and inexpensive.

You can try visit FOTOMAT DIGITAL in Centre Point, I bought my gear there. Bargain as much as you can!

Guys, for a beginner with RM8k budget, what DSLR can you get? It's for my friend. Probably Canon 7D. Probably with 580EX-II. Or if you think Nikon is better, give you suggestions smile.gif

Wow, RM8k budget is real thing. rclxms.gif
Uhm, Canon EOS 7D, he wanted a kit lens or what? Afford the best while you can. There's no such thing as beginner cannot get a professional grade DSLR equipment. What kind of photography he want to do? Normal shooting, low light?

Canon EOS 7D + EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM would be the best for normal shooting.
Canon EOS 7D + bundle kit lens (either EF-S 18-135mm, or EF-S 15-85mm), 580EX-II, some other equipments

I would say it's up to your choices. Provide more information about his needs.

Thanks for your recommendations bro. But problem is, he knows nothing for now. He wants to buy it coz he wants to join us for outing, studio shooting and etc. Photography is on the rise now in Kelantan smile.gif

How much will 7D, 15-85 & 580EX-II cost? hmm.gif

No worries. He can learn after he got his camera. Ask him to do research online / read articles and reviews. smile.gif
Canon EOS 7D with bundle 15-85 costs around RM6200, Speedlite 580EX-II around RM1700. An excellent "starter kit" actually.
