Low light Kings----->Canon S95 and Lumix LX5

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget: RM 4K
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand: Canon
Type of photography u want to do: Indoor, Travel, outdoor, food, landscape
Any specific models in mind? : Canon 550d / 60d
Any specific features u want? : -

With budget RM4000, go for Canon 60D or 50D. Canon 550D is entry level DSLR but I do not recommend. Make your wise choice, if you can afford higher-priced then get the best APS-C body - Canon EOS 7D. RM4300 body only is the cheapest bargain I know.

It depends on your needs. if u do not need the high high speed shutter and articulating screen why not go for 550D and take the balance of at least RM750 u can get other good lens.

If u need the above mention 60D is ideal for you.

Here the comparison


Quality output is quite close

I'd still go for an "entry level" body and spend the budget on nice lenses.

3 different level DSLR, hardly to be compared together.

Depends, if you're really into photography, I prefer nice body with kit lenses. Save up for nice lenses later on. If body itself couldn't perform good, even you have a very good lens also useless. So you would just need to upgrade your lens but not body anymore. IMO.

the benefit in investing in lenses even u upgrade your camera u still can use back your lenses

Different level?How so?These 3 share similar image quality,so how can they be on different levels?We're not comparing a 5D mark 2 vs and entry level APS-C body here,neither a 1D mark 4 vs a 7D.

Aiya, what do you mean hor?Magnesium alloy body can produce better pictures than a plastic body izzit ?

Again said, how can a better build quality perform better?LOL unless you're talking about taking heavy knocks/drops here and there or in extreme weather until it's totally unusable liao, then i can understand.But what you mentioned i really cannot comprehend,seriously

I'd rather go for a 450/550D with an L rather than a 60D body with a "kit" anytime any day,even though i really like 60D body much more

p/s to Mods: Isn't it time for a new thread?

Sony Nex 3 or Panasonic LX5 ?

Both are of different levels,one is a compact interchangeable lens camera while the other is a high end Point and Shoot camera

The NEX3 will pawn the LX5 kao kao in image quality and ISO performance, and the ability to change lenses makes it a very capable camera as well

Go for the LX5 if --------> 1)You want a pocketable camera with good image quality,manual controls,but don't bother with "changing lenses"

Go for the NEX-3 if ------->1) You want DSLR picture quality in the form of a compact body,a relatively good ISO performance and also able to use different lenses to expand your creativity!

+1 yea i agree. if u watch the video except shutter speed and body build it dont make much different.should go for L lens for the additional quality and speed focus

for Eos 550D with 3.7fps is it enough for normal use like shooting animals and during some dinner events?
