550D would be best choice..... price range around kl is 2799-2999 complete set with tripod bag and 8gb card
550d 18-135 best choice......

Well, i always say : When there are 2 things (similar performance/specifications) you're headache about,just head down to a shop and test both of em' .Choose which feels better to you

After all, it's you are the one handling the camera and not us. Some might like the chunkier D90 whereas some might prefer the smaller and nicer to hold in the hands 550D.

Just my 2 cents ya

thanks. i did test both previously and decided to go for the Canon also because I feel the Nikon is a bit dated if I compare apple to apple. My friends who are using Nikon will strongly disagree but I guess each brand will have their own fans.

is it worth to buy eos 550D with kit lens or separately ?

Hi, could somebody help me out with my details?
I kinda need to decide by this weekend

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget : RM2000 + kit lens
Your Location : Subang
Preferable brand : More to Nikon, but Canon would do too
Type of photography u want to do : Places (when I travel and all), family, more places. Haha
Any specific models in mind? : thinking of getting a 2nd hand/almost new Nikon D3000 or Nikon D60 (from Mudah.my) as they're within my budget and I'm a newbie. Tried considering getting Canon 500D and 550D but too expensive for me :\

wanna ask all sifus here.
is it a very big disadvantage of gf1 to not have image stabilization？
does it cause blurness very ezly?
sorry for d noob ques.

it's probably best if u can wait for D3100. personally i think D60 and D3000 are very small upgrades from the D40, nothing major. D3100 is a huge improvement :D not sure when will it reach malaysia haha

i'd say go for a D40 if u can find a good deal, in good condition. with 18-55 lens shud b around rm1k. i'd go for D60 if it's around rm200 extra for the VR lens n sensor cleaning. spend the extra money on a flash (nikon SB600 or nissin Di622) if u wanna take nice indoor pics, a prime lens (AF-S 35mm f1.8G) for portrait/food or a long range zoom (AF-S 55-200 VR). personally, i'd get the camera body only plus a 18-105 VR :)

                                            Or else going for a new one, but I am a newbie.. NO experience on dslr photography, but want to learn....

haha, D3100, it's not that i can't wait. just that, for sure the price of it will be like super high right, since it's new? lol.

hmm, D40. never considered it. but yeah, by the looks of it on Mudah.my, definitely cheaper compared to D3000.
though, function-wise and everything, is it really worth going for compared to D3000 and D60? cos it was released much earlier than those two right?

no bro , D3100 around 2.1k if not mistaken with lens too , great changes from D3000 , CMOS , video and alots

since ur budget is 2000 why not add 1-2 hundred to get better DSLR? =)

because i am the one waiting D3100 get tested by ppl in PHOTOKINA , then see how the preview whether good or not

i got canon 500d , d5000 and d3100 in my mind , but no ppl want to advice me about that =(

depends also. if u like to zoom far2, image stabilization is a must :P
read my Post #2629.
not sure on D3100 price, but it's US$700 so shud be around 2.2k-2.3k like that. add a bit only..hehe

mmm D40 dun have sensor cleaning, so juz make sure dust wont go in when u change lenses. D40 dun have ADR, but then ADR in d3000 n d60 is uselessly slow anyway. d3000 got 11 af-points compared to d60/d40 got 3 af-points. for me, d60 n d3000 is too noisy above iso800 while d40 looks okay until iso1600 due to smaller megapixels. but then d40 kit lens dun have VR whereas d60 n d3000 kitlens got VR.
