if u want the latest model..that amount of budget can't get u a DSLR la...

nikon d5000? or d3000. bear in mind your budget can only afford you a kit lens. and a tripod cost can range from free till RM1000++. same case for the UV filter, can range from RM0-RM300/400++

all of your choices are not exactly PnS though the a55 is the smallest of the lot. why don't u consider a NEX-5?
and with ur budget, i think u can only afford the a55/d3100 IINM.

I don't think the NEX controls are noob friendly

Oh wai...unless he's into Auto

all the cameras he listed are nub friendly also ma..just use auto/program..

I wouldn't go for a NEX-5,I'm finding cameras with standard DSLR bodies.(Don't ask why)550D is a little off budget.Any other recommendation?Considering this is gonna be my first DSLR.

wait for the sony a55.

end of this month or october.

Hmmm... but not a Sony user thou lol My budget should be around 3k. I love DSLR thou this gonna be my 1st DSLR camera so it really took lots of time to decide n choose the one that I like. I'm looking for the compact body as I know sometimes I 'might' be too lazy to carry the whole bag of camera stuff so was asking if there's any camera with compact body but dslr specs.

or any suggestion out of that? as I want the camera with nice resolution esp for taking pets/lanscape picture? I know Canon 550D is great for a beginner but I just want to review some other model before I decided on which one I wanna buy

the only camera with a compact body but DSLR specs i can think of is the Sony NEX. any camera can take pets and landscape picture under good lighting.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR Camera
Budget: Min RM2K Max RM3K
Your Location: Seremban/KL
Preferable brand : Recommend me

Any specific models in mind? : 550D d3100
Any specific features u want? : hd video recording(optional), i want flashgun together... noob here... so recommend me some nice package... or let me know who i can pm to get better advise

How is the picture quality of the Panasonic FZ100? Is it better than Nikon P100 and Fuji HS10 which uses the same type of sensor?

Should i get a Sony a55 or a Canon Eos500D?
Canon's having a gila-gila sale now..so the prices will get some discount.

Bear in mind, once you've chosen your Brand, you'll stay with the brand all the way, and some say FOREVER

hey there..mind to know that where canon having gila gila sale?

The star's newspaper today had an ad about it...Check it out at the canon facebook page for more details man.

Okay I got your point. But after some consideration I think back to my original plan is best suited me after I review the NEX model
I know that between Sony, Canon & Nikon, its actually depends on our preference brand on which brand we prefer the most. But if I would say to 'throw-away' the brand preference, which model do u suggest for a DSLR camera with nice resolution n maybe good for video as well and budget around 3k?

Canon EOS 450D with EF-S 18-55 IS
Vs
Nikon 60D with AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55 VR


I only need it temporary for my upcoming vacation, then I'm gonna sell it again

hi i am currently under-utilising my canon 40d + canon 50mm + tamron 18-200mm. they are pretty heavy for me and i am now considering a more portable camera. considering an lx5 but also noticed that nex3 price is only RM300 extra. which one should i go for?
