thanks for all the advices. i need another advice but unsure if this is the proper thread..anyway, i want to know about filters, what brand available, what type of filters should i buy and what is the price range? i had read about UV and polarize filters and how it is used but i would appreciate if sumwan can educate me more. TQ

actually Canon EOS 40D compared to Canon EOS 500D/450D.
Do 500D will much better than 40D?

500D is entry level while 40D is intermediate level.

so i cant determine specs but the quality for the both DSLR?

cant really understand ur english dude

to simply put it, the 40D is a higher class DSLR than the 500D, so it is better and more expensive.

sorry that are my grammar kinda weird..
so for 40D (2nd hand) and 500D(brand new) are putting on my buying list by now ,so what should i buy?
because the both pricing more or less around RM3k.

I see... thx thx^^ em... then maybe can you recommend me what brand is already enough for me as a newbie??
I also scare the salesperson will brain wash me... haha~

Type of camera/lens/accesories : compact camera PnS
Budget : RM700 max...if only critically needs, then stretch budget a bit more

Type of photography u want to do : family's event, vacation/scenery, especially night event (dinner, stage performance), collectibles
Any specific models in mind? : nope so far
Any specific features u want? : Anti Shock/Image Stabilizer/Face detection
Others : hopefully less editing using Photoshop etc

recommended earlier for Lumix FS15
however, heard some reviews about its weakness in night mode....

there r various brand of filter available in the market... from cheap plak brand to the most expensive like Heliopan and B+W (not black and white photography)...
the cheapest u can get for few tenth ringgit until few hundreds like B+W...
normally DSLR user will use UV as protection to avoid damaging the lens...
about the CPL, more on landscape to generate more blueish sky...

hi all, saw newspaper Fujifilm doing promotion on Finepix J30, RM599 + 2gb card... anyone using this? any opinions?

and also finepix J27 (10mp) at RM499, everything is the same except the Megapixel.. should i get J30 or J27 ?

or

would u guys recommend me other cheap p&s camera with below criteria...

-below RM600
-dimension around 91x56x20mm (compact and easy to carry)
-must use rechargeable li-on battery

I found some ppl selling cheaper than this but with 1 or 3 months warranty only, is it advice to get from such seller? they claimed is unused demo set...

thanks all !!

between the finepix J30 and J27, get the J27 (assuming the rest is the same as u said). less pixels = smaller file size = more photos u can take in 2gb

Canon 1000D or Nikon D60..both are DSLR n should be around 2k. but then if u scared kena the DSLR poison from this forum (hehe) get manual compact camera like Canon S90 or Panasonic LX3 for around 1.6k. in some ways the s90 n lx3 is better than 1000D and D60 with kit lens... the F/2.0 lens can help u take nice pictures of ur baby. LX3 is wide angle which is nice for scenery, and the lens can focus very near so u can take nice pictures of flowers. but the zoom not that good, so u have to get near the insect to take its picture n hope it doesnt run/fly away/kill you

dont forget d3000.

oh ya LOL..how could i forget that ;p

no reply for my query?

Canon A1100 IS ? should be around 700

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Digital Camera
Budget : 700-900
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand: Canon/ Nikon
Type of photography u want to do: Normal Photography during day and night
Any specific models in mind?: -
Any specific features u want?: slim , light and easy to carry around, user friendly, and better quality during photography at night

I thought if getting Olympus FE-5020 earlier but I change my mind after my fren told me tat the image quality that Olympus snapped out is not good... Sigh... Hope can get a good camera during this Xmas promotion at Lowyat... Hope can get some advices and recommendations here... And another thing I would like to know wat is the different between 3X and 4X optical zoom?

dont let people come up to u n say "brand X not good". different people different taste, n olympus has been making cameras for decades already. almost all digital cameras can take decent pictures, so if u like the FE-5020 i suggest u go test it urself...if u're happy with the photos, menu, price, then go buy one..its ur own money

zoom is the range of the nearest and furthest focal length of the lens. usually 4X can zoom further than 3X, but sometimes this stuff is tricky if u're comparing between different brands. again, go to a shop n try urself. that's always the best way
