Canon EOS 550D with 18-55mm kit lens. With Canon Gila-gila sale you should get the price around RM2700-2800, can get a battery grip or any accessories. Depends on your need also.

Since you mentioned you are not planning to get an entry level DSLR, go for Canon EOS 50D, or probably a 60D after it has officially released. It's a semi-pro body. Canon EOS 550D considered as the best entry level body, so you wouldn't want it.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Point and Shoot camera
Budget : 600
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : No preference
Type of photography u want to do : Doesn't matter
Any specific models in mind? : Nikon S3000 vs Canon Powershot A300 vs Nikon S570 vc Canon Ixus 105 IS vs Panasonic Lumix FH1 vs Panasonic Lumix F3
Any specific features u want? : Photo quality most important, must be litium battery and better if got HD recording

Errr... if wanna learn... then maybe not the NEX.

All the models you mentioned will do fine. Do watch out the weight though if you're coming over from a point n shoot.

Canon 550D or Nikon D90? According the website below, it states that d90 is better. Although it's out of my budget but if it's that good then i might buy it. I don't want to buy something and regret about it. Any advise or recommendation on other canon and nikon camera besides the d90 and 550D?

Thanks

where is ur location? but u can search for a shop called aver avards... which provides testing demo cameras... u not sure ur hands are big or not? hmmm if u hold a canon rebel series and it is consider big if ur last finger cant hold on the camera grip... and vice versa

both cameras seems like expensive.. u may consider very cheap DSLR, Nikon D3000 or Canon 1000D for starters.. at least u can keep the lens for next upgrade to better DSLR..

ummm D90 is nice in color.... and function.. canon 550D its good but for me (guys with big hands) would not like it as the camera grip is small.... so i would suppose that the camera does not suit u... 50D and 60D not much diff oni body size and the magnesium alloy body and added features

maybe u can consider this few websites

if you like to do a lot of settings..G12 stands at a SLIGHT advantage here as the NEX user controls are a bit messy..

however if you want a camera which can shoot DSLR picture quality(and even better than a lot of models in the market), the NEX-5 is your best bet.

Hi guys, any comment on Panasonic FP1, is it good? Previously I used Sony DSC W1, the picture is really good. Is it worth to upgrade?

I from Miri Sarawak, here i cant get price less than RM3200 for 550D

the 18-200mm is more suitable for the NEX VG-10 lo..very bulky when extended to 200mm.

in short, photography is a very very expensive hobby if u cannot resist poison.

For me was exactly the same..I wanted to learn on something simpler and maybe if I am really into photography can upgrade..

I tested the brands you mentioned as well as Olympus EPL-1. In the end I settled on the EPL-1. I prefer it to the Nex 5 especially as I the interface better. Picture quality is very good and for beginner, there are a lot of Auto-modes to play with. Manual is not like DSLR but for beginner there is a lot to learn already. Basically, can take good photos immediately in the many auto modes and can learn and play with your camera in manual modes

550D price range 2700-3300 (new with 18-135mm kit)
60D unsure bout price
50D around same price as 550D

Where is Aver Avard? HOw about other friends here, any nice shop in KL selling nice price with nice freebies?
