Dear sifu sekalian, I am a newbie who wanna learn photography. I am liking photography as i feel like it's freezing precious moments, like wedding, outing, vacations and etc..
I wanna learn from the very basics and wish to get a DSLR. I know there are varieties of DSLRs around. Getting a 550D,60D or D90 would be a waste for me now becuz i'm just a new bird. I wanna start low. May I ask, what model is suitable for beginners like me?
Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM1,000 - 2,500
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon, Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Indoor, Outdoor, Landscape, Potrait
Any specific models in mind? : 1000D, D5000
Any specific features u want? : Sufficient learning modes for beginners so that I can turn to Intermediate soon. I do not mind second hand units if they are still healthy to be used for 2 years.
consider Nikon D3000 and Canon 1000D or even Nikon D40X and 400D/ 350D

Does it qualify for the Canon 1+2 years warranty?
Should be equal or less than RM1.5k from what i surveyed previously. Body only should be around RM1.2k whereas lens would be less than RM300(if no warranty)
Again, this is what i observe and not the price i'm asking you to sell at

Again, i do not want to be held responsible for anything that may arise from your decision to follow my "prices"

hi -kytz- long time no see...not active for the pass month or so...
