Titanium is flexible ler so it'll feel the same

I'm just saying that at tech spec etc aside... at the same price-points... the red and yellow camp equivalent feels better built.

Don't have take my word for it... just go camera shop... tap tap the plastic. They're all plastic but the others doesn't feel like its hollow inside

yeah i agree about this. but no, they are not same priced la. eventhough they are close.

thanks guys... will check out both later.. really appreciate it! btw nikon equivalent to canon 60D?

straight take D7000 laaa~

which nikon are you refering to? nikon lens?nikon PnS? nikon DSLR? nikon microscope? nikon spectacles?

I tokin about 550D wor... not 60D. Rather spend the extra $$$ on lens.

ya ka, how much would it be for a D7000?

but if he using a canon, i can persuade him buying L lenses and borrow his..

yeala...when 550D first time came out how much was the price...and now sony a55 come out how much the price.. few hundred ringgit difference leh..

Im new to camera, never own 1 before. My friends using Nikon D90, Canon 550D, panasonic lumix LX3. I plan to get 1 to but dont know which 1 to get, any recommended for beginner?

if u wanna go dSLR,go with the 550D,or the new sony a55(i heard it got alot of new features)..u can use it for a long period of time..loads of functions..

if u wanna go compact..canon s95,lumix lx5..just my opinion..

its actually wut u want..wud u mind carrying dSLR around?its going to be abit heavy n bulky..

or u just wanna take pics for leisure?

its really up to..but first of all,u nid to choose either a dSLR or a compact..

I also not too sure, im thinking dslr (nikon D90) or semi-pro (canon S90 or 95, panasonic lumix LX3 or LX5)...

err..

there's alot of diff between those 2 types actually..the s90/95,lumix lx3/5 is a compact camera..which can easily carry around and put it in ur poket..but the lumix is abit bigger cuz of its lens and additional rubber grip..

the nikon D90 is a dSLR..

so now,u make up ur mind sir,u need a small camera that's easy to carry around

or

a dSLR that takes brilliant pics,but a bit bulky..

as for me,i take my dSLR on holidays..i mean going new places and stuff..

and i bring my compact everywhere i go..

well that's just me

Eleh.. that's canon malaysia punya pasal. A55 launch price here (taiwan) is same same with 550D launch price ler.

Ditto with mint87...

Ask yourself this question... You wanna start photography as a hobby or are you getting a general purpose camera for snapshots?

If its hobby --> Get a dslr. No matter how "dslr quality" is a compact/ILC.. it's not a dslr in usage experience.... the Zen is not there.

If its general purpose --> Get a S95/LX5. They take pretty good photos, the former stays in the pocket and they have manual controls so you won't lose out thaaaaaaat much to your dslr totting friends.
Plus you have the advantage of looking fresh while they're all sweating and neck pain totting their gear around

Type of camera/lens/accesories:Digital
Budget: less then 2k
Your Location: SG
Preferable brand: any good brand will do...
Type of photography u want to do: all
Any specific models in mind?: no
Any specific features u want?: good optical zoom, Full HD video recording, mobility, user frenly...etc...

Thanks for ur advice, i will think what i really need. At 1st i just want get a digital cam, then my fren ask me get semi-pro. But after i saw my fren using dslr take pics, really nice. Besides, S95 or LX5, both friendly user?

Camera is just a small small part of the whole "nice pics" equation.

Most cameras from consumer dslr's to enthuasiast compacts also have auto mode point and shoot.

1 of my friend told me, what camera also same, skill is the most important.

yeah skill is important..lens too

and do take note that dSLR quality image is 'great' compared to high end compacts that's just 'good'

and both of lx5/s95 are user frenly

Yeah, so i must think properly. I scare i just "3 mins warming"...

hehehehe last time i used to be like dat... " 3 mins hot" but then after i get my DSLR i feel like got passion to photography already... coz when i look at the photos like.... *waaa* *waa* nice nice like dat.... so once u go into the realm of DSLR or high end compact beware.... dun get poison
