mmm here's my take

S90 - slimmest. better in low light than G11.
G11 - bulky. lots of buttons to adjust settings, instead of diving into menus
LX3 - thicker than S90 but smaller than G11. quality and low light performance comparable to S90. got hotshoe to expand it to a system

just be cautious to those who 1st step into photography and dint want to spend much, theres a garage sales here in LYN.

do check them out

what about the colour for both s90 and g11? and also their wb... which one has a more accurate awb?

hey , are the camera's in duty free shop cheaper than outside ? lets say its a dslr , how low will it be ?

Hi,
i'm new to this DLSR . im currently using olympus 1030. its a good sturdy camera but i want to upgrade to dlsr

since im a newbie, i would like to get some opinions from the sifus here on which brand and model that would suite me as a student .

sony : a330 or a380
both in aussie price : a330 twin lens kit costs around 850 aud
a380 twin less kit cost around 1.2k aud

( anyone knows if its cheaper in msia ? )

canon or nikon might suit me? please advise!

Wanna ask opinion for this camera.

Thanks dvlzpgrd for youy reply. Anyway i have now got my 1000d, a little cheaper than the price that i had said earlier.
But had a annoying experience!!!!!!!! I COULDN'T GET MY PICS TO LOAD INTO MY PC[/B]**$#%&^%$#^^^[/SIZE].
I had installed all the softwares provided in two different machines (XP & W7), tried connecting 1000d to both machines with usb cable (previously used for DMC FZ5), which i still use to connect my Asus smartphone. Tried connecting with card reader, still nothing was detected by both machines!! Also formatted the card (causing me to lose my pioneer DSLR pics). Tried using non HS card - only detected if connected thru card reader. Totally pissed i went back to dealer and got a replacement SDHC....and still had the same problem. So i decided to head for Canon customer service ..and then something struck me....and yes it worked finally Can any of u guys guess what was the problem or have any of u encountered the same situation ???

kopitiam DSLR sifu go ask for recommendation?

i have survey, nikon website RRP is less than RM900 and shashinki offer for RM950

seems like con shop... very expensive

how much?
include more options into ur selection... casio not very appealing to me but it is up to u

i never transfer pic via USB cable... the card reader is more convenience and faster...
but card reader work fine for me... wat brand SD card u use?

Uh, okay? You're not supposed to use a foreign cable with your 1000D, you're supposed to use the one which comes along with your camera. Different cables sometimes have extras (located in the cylindrical thing attached to the wire) that is special for each device, if it is there.

Anyway, problems should go to the EOS Family thread. This isn't a call-to-help topic, it's a recommendation topic.

perhaps u can try olympus tough series, they are water and shock proof. But image quality im not sure abt that.

Hi,
i just check out the a380 last weekend.. it's around rm2600 (twin lens kit) and im kinda poisoned by this camera. im going to buy a DSLR by end of this month. but before the a380, i saw a nikon d3000 (at times square) which the cost is around rm2300. can anyone of sifus here tell me which 1 shud i go for? my budget is around rm2000 - rm2500. and im not DSLR user (*YET*). besides, i heard sony lenses are more expensive than other brand like nikon/canon. is that real? Help me.. im kinda confused.. thanks

a380

d3000 don't even have inner motor

which sony lens is expensive dude?

I'm sorry for breaching the thread topic, guess i got carried away. But anyway u r right Wanderer, the cable was the problem. It worked fine when i used the provided cable.

**Thanks for your concern, Love Money, but the card the wasn't the problem (anyway it was a sandisk)

Doesn't mean no motor = no good.

Go and try them out yourself, but make sure not to succumb to any technical stats. They're not important at all because we're comparing potato with potato here. Choose the one that feels best to you.

It's no problem, anyway. Just so you know the cable that comes with Canon has some special functions in the cylinder attachment, so yea. The camera won't work with other cables.

Also, if your card reader won't read, 99% it's the card reader's problem. Cards never experience much problems, they're dummy-proof toys.

I dont know which is better as i am a newbie in DSLR world. But What i know is D3000 (not AP) can be bought at a lot more cheaper price (with kit lens), coz i was offered the same price as the 1000D.

'wanna be hi-tech' -> how much u got for the d3000? mind to share? with kit lens means oni 1 lens rite for the nikon, not like the a380 which i can get 2 lenses with rm2600... m i right?

'destfull' -> i cant say which lens is expensive n all that, as i said, im new in DSLR world, but i heard some ppl said 'cannot la sony, the lenses are more expensive than other brand'... that's y i ask here.. is that true? but u sounded like it's not true... hehehe... thanks...

'TheWandererX' -> i tried both.. but.. hehehe... still dunno the diff of both of them (newbie).. by the way... what is inner motor?

Besides, there is no 'twin lens kit' for nikon rite?

I ddnt get the d3000, i bought the 1000d. D3000 (oni 1 lens) price i was offered was RM1950, in two different places but i'm sure u can still bargain as i got the 1000d for much less. Any of the Sifus here got any comments about the price ?
