Type of Lens :
Lens with 24-70mm focal length or similar, Constant f/2.8 Aperture

Budget :
Below Rm2k (with filter included)

Type of photography u want to do :
Candid photos, Event Photography, Stage Performances

Any specific models in mind? :
Tokina 28-80 f/2.8, Tamron 28-75 f/2.8, Sigma 24-70

From internet, seems that Tokina has the best build, lens wont extend when zooming, and has better glass. But I find this lens kinda 'cold' among photography hobbyist in Malaysia. I also never heard of this all these while until recently. Dont see anyone selling new. Can only find second hand ones for Nikon mount.

The seller claimed Tokina 280 focusing speed is super fast, soild build, vivid colour output, standard 77mm filter ring. Downside are heavy, a little bit soft when full aperture open, paint at lens body easy drop off.

Anyone has some thoughts to share with?

ok i hav done my research

bt sony dsc w350 with nikon coolpix s6000, which is better??

Plan to start my 1st DSLR, need advice from gentlemen, should I go for 60D w/ 18-135 or 60D w/ 18-200 or even 550D w/ 18-135 and reserve money for other len?

Do you need the extra zoom?

Yes------> Go for it
No-------> Get better glass

Do you need the extra features from the 60D?

Yes-----> Get it
No------> Get the 550D

Type of camera/lens/accesories : CPL/ ND filter
Budget: : 100-200
Your Location: :Kedah
Preferable brand : : IDK
Type of photography u want to do : : want to try some landscape and sunset
Any specific models in mind? : -
Any specific features u want? : -

P.S: i'm nt sure which brand is good, can someone recommend budget priced CPL/ND fitler with good quality? thanks!

it mean, 60D with 18-200 worth for money, 60D LCD display worth for the money? got it,

thank you.

First and foremost, you have got to understand that 60D and 550D have similar image quality except the AF.ISO performance is pretty much similar as well

60D has some of these features which 550D doesn't have:

1)Bigger and better build quality- suitable for those who aren't confortable with the small and more plasticky body of the 550D. I've tried both and i absolutely love the 60D body
2)Top LCD panel- Good for accessing the important settings while shooting without going back to the main menu.
3)Swivel LCD Screen- Same quality as the 550D but it can rotate,flip upwards/downwards.Good for variable angled shots like going high or low.
4)Better AF system- 60D has 9 cross types AF points over the 550D which only has 1 cross type
5)Faster burst rate of 5.3fps vs 3.7fps
6)Integrated Speedlite Transmitter- For wireless flash capabilities using Canon Speedlites
7)In camera RAW processing
8)Manual audio recording level
9)Faster maximum shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second

If you need the features which i highlighted of the 60D, then please do buy it. Because it is a better camera than the 550D



60D with 18-200 lens costs close to RM5K iinm. I would say the 18-200 has excellent range, since it covers wide angle and telephoto as well.Good when you do not want the hassle of changing lenses here and then,thus it's great as a "walk about lens"

Else, 60D with a 18-55 +55-250 would offer a more decent image quality.

What do you mean by "60D LCD display worth for the money? " may i ask?

-----> Do you mean whether the swivel LCD of the 60D is worth spending the extra $$ to get it instead of a 550D?For me, it's a definite NO NO. I'll get better glass instead.

Hi,
recently i have purchase Sanyo VPC-CG10 camcorder and the problem is my battery doesn't last long enough. So i am thinking of purchasing an extra battery which is 1800 mAh yet the batter that came with the product is 700 mAh.

So my question is, would that 1800 mAh battery damage my camcoder or left some unwanted effect if i use that one, because someone told me so.

Thank you.

may get RM27xx price in lowyat ? trying to survery for the actual price for it ><

worth .

Live View .
CMOS sensor .
high iso capability ( picture is usable even at iso3200 with less noise.)

hi. i thought of getting my hand on Panasonic GF1, but then i saw the upcoming GF2.
is GF2 is better? well it's smaller but i love GF1 body the most.
and now GF1 is super cheap

btw, will GF1 stop producing once GF2 lands??

Curious, is there a compact camera which functions almost like a DSLR?

For me i choose 60D over 550D and no regrets ever since. My first choice was 550D but was so tempted of 60D waited till it launch at immediately bought it from which shop available first

60D is such a nice camera. Tried it and absolutely love it! I really love the size, feel and the weight of it. 550D feels like a toy in comparison

60D body only weights more than the 550D+18-55mm IS lens together.

For me, weight/portability > creative filters and tilty screen

If it feels like a chore means I don't bring my camera out = bad.
