Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR / Compact
Budget: RM3000
Preferable brand : Canon / Nikon 
Type of photography u want to do : Wildlife / Buildings 
Any specific models in mind? :  Canon EOS 550D

I have never hold a Canon EOS 550D before, so I am not sure about the size, but I need one that is travel-friendly-meaning not too bulky. So I am not sure if DSLR is the better choice.

And I would like to take animal photos, which means the shutter speed should be fast. (Can compact cameras do that?)

I am not sure where to start searching, since there are so many camera models out there. So would appreciate it if someone can give some advice. Thanks a lot!
*
go to shops and try out the camera... its not too bulky compared to Nikon

Guys, I need some advices here...
I was initially plan to buy Canon EOS 550D, then somehow I came across with Nikon D90 & D5000. Since I'm not that pro in choosing camera its really gave me so much headache. Because of that somehow I was thinking, is there any camera that has DSLR specs but with smaller body? for example the body a bit similar with digicam (smaller) while the specs is DSLR?
*
with ur requirements go for Sony Aplha NEX-3 or NEX-5.... much smaller body but with DSLR quality... btw whats ur budget?? mind telling?

lol I think it's best you just stick with the kitlens, and start learning about the gear you're using smile.gif Rather than splash on stuffs you don't even know or how to use.

yeah either u stick with kit lens OR u go to papa Google or mama Wikipedia for answers

thanks. i did test both previously and decided to go for the Canon also because I feel the Nikon is a bit dated if I compare apple to apple. My friends who are using Nikon will strongly disagree but I guess each brand will have their own fans.

yes correct Brands wise is based on personal preferences... But nikon this year coming out alot DSLR and lenses so dont say they are abit dated....

Dear friends, i am going to KL next month. Planning of getting a Canon 550D, any shop recommended? Cheaper price, and freebies (hoping to get bag + Memory card + tripod). Aiming for nikon D3100 if it is out by that time. I am from Miri, so far DSLR i saw here still expensive.

whats ur budget? hmmm 550D is good, but i dun like the grip... if ur hands are big / large got for Nikon D90 or 550D + batt grip

Should i get Nikon D5000 or Canon 550D for first timer? Just came back from a camera shop and the seller was recommending me 550D. A lot bought d5000 and after a few months they sell it off and upgrade. And i tried D90 and 550D and felt 550D was much clearer? Having doubts on getting D5000 or 550D. Help?
*
Depends on urself actually 550D of coz its clearer... coz the screen size and the resolution is bigger... but if u watch closely as in pixel peep... den u can see that Nikon D90 beats 550D... and if u have larger hands den go for nikon D90 if u dont mind attaching batt grip to 550D den go ahead for 550D

where is ur location? but u can search for a shop called aver avards... which provides testing demo cameras... tongue.gif u not sure ur hands are big or not? hmmm if u hold a canon rebel series and it is consider big if ur last finger cant hold on the camera grip... and vice versa

ummm D90 is nice in color.... and function.. canon 550D its good but for me (guys with big hands) would not like it as the camera grip is small.... so i would suppose that the camera does not suit u... 50D and 60D not much diff oni body size and the magnesium alloy body and added features

Hey guys, need some suggestions.

I wanted to get Sony NEX-5 but I just Canon just recently launched G12.

I'm not that familiar with camera terminologies and I'm not sure which one should I get.

I want to use one of these cams first to gage my interest before I get my DSLR. Don't wanna waste my money buying an expensive cam to lose interest later on..

So which do you think is better for this purpose? NEX5? or G12?
*
since u not familiar with camera terminologies u migh consider to get cheaper kits first. say D3100 or a Canon 1000D
