if u hvn buy lx3, then for sure choose lx5, if u own a lx3, then upgrade to lx5 is not necessity

hi ! nikon D5000 is also under 2.5k

I was wondering if the extra RM 200-300 is worth the money to get a lx5, or i can get lx3 with the same pic quality?

u may try to ask at these 2 thread, i believe they can give u a better answer

This is depends on u lo, if u are newbie like me, maybe i will feel not that worth cause still dont know will interested on photography or not. If spend extra Rm2-300 get lx5, if "3 mins warm" then will put a side already. This my opinion la,

can someone explain to me what is 18-55mm or 18-200mm?

simply said its the zoom length.

18mm means wide angle, 200mm means telephoto(can zoom further)

so 28-200mm the photo is not as wide as 18-200 one la? k thx

one more thing...

Why so cheap one? I thought the lens itself oso quite expensive

Nt all lenses must b expensive la
there's super duper cheap lenses as low as 300 bucks, bt there's blood suckin expensive up to 10k,100k

Btw, d lens in ur link is a 3rd party brand lens, usually 3rd
Party lenses r cheaper

yes.

oh. because d3100 out d ma. old model sure drop price.

I'm having thought whether i should change my current lense EF-S 18-55 IS and EF-S 55-250 IS to the following:

Type of lens : All rounder lense
Budget: RM1,000 for 2nd hand item
Your Location: Klang Valley
Preferable brand : Tammy/Siggy
Type of photography u want to do : Basically looking for all rounder lense coz i travel a lot....but picture quality is my priority, i would rather stick to my current canon lenses if the picture quality is superior....
Any specific models in mind? : Tammy/Siggy 18-200, 18-250, 18-270mm
Any specific features u want? : Internal focusing, Optical stabilizer features would be added advantage....HSM/USM not necessary....

It's quite unlikely that you will gain any advantage in term of IQ if you switch to super zoom.

Cons
============
-Immediately, you will lose Stabilization feature.
-At the longer end, you will have smaller aperture. (At 200mm, you are at f/6.3 already with superzoom) (Using 55-250, you get f/5.6 at 250mm)
-Working at low light would be tougher due to smaller aperture.
-I have Sigma 18-200mm non-OS, it has zoom creep issue. I dont think any of your 2 lenses have these issues. (Well, if you think zoom creep is a non-issue, skip this)

Pros
============
-You carry one lens only!
-No lens change = no dust = perfect sensor health!

Proposed Solution
============
-Stay with what you have

Market
============
Sigma 18-200 OS is about RM1850
Canon 18-200 IS is about RM2200

Your two lenses may fetch about RM800 (just a very rough estimation)

Estimated damage = RM1050-1400

Sony alpha thread.

anyway, the 18-55 kit lens is a good pick for your budget.

Basically, after launch, how long before the price goes down??

And betul ker the price is rm4k for body only, cz i just look at amazon uk and the price for body only is f1000=rm5000... but at amazon.com $1300=rm4000. pening2
