guys, is the nowadays digital camera are close or comparable with dslr camera nowadays?

my digital camera just burned last week and planning to buy new one but I dont like the bulky dslr but at the same time I need some good quality photo shooting.

any comment or suggestion?
*
if you are talking about compacts which cost a bomb like the g11 then yes, the quality is close.

if you are talking about compacts below rm1500, then no, its not really comparable. unless the situations are not very demanding such as landscape photography with good lighting.

u can have a look at sony's NEX series though..it uses SLR sensors but at a compact size biggrin.gif

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?
*
if you like to do a lot of settings..G12 stands at a SLIGHT advantage here as the NEX user controls are a bit messy..

however if you want a camera which can shoot DSLR picture quality(and even better than a lot of models in the market), the NEX-5 is your best bet.

How much do these cam costs? I'm just really worried I might lose interest later on :S


Added on September 28, 2010, 12:52 pm

are they much cheaper? how much are they? and are the lenses expensive too?

nex5 for both lenses are about 3K. their new lense is 2K yawn.gif almost a brand new cam :S
*
the 18-200mm is more suitable for the NEX VG-10 lo..very bulky when extended to 200mm.

in short, photography is a very very expensive hobby if u cannot resist poison. tongue.gif

I'm still beginner..Probably assortment of photos. Portrait, landscape and some sports I think..

550D is it much superior to 30D? I get this a lot: Difference in 5 years of technology is like between heaven and earth.

Not sure how true is that though..I'm student on budget, so just looking for a good camera that will last me for like 3-5 years..
*
if you are really on budget, maybe you can consider sony's DSLR. they are considerably cheaper than canon & nikon.

Don't really want to go Sony because my friend has some L lenses and he's agreed to letting me borrow them tongue.gif hehehe..So yeah...If not I would've gone Nikon with a really good deal on D200..
I'm not sure whether I need all the features though..I just need a clear view on the LCD, some really good images and good handling..And lasts long too..I don't suppose camera tech is like computer -- the newer computer, the faster it is and more powerful?

I mean, 20D and 30D can still take really good images isn't it?

borrow you? are you sure?

imagine if you are shooting a very important event, and you need a 24-70 L. but that same day, your friend is using it as well. you sure he's going to borrow you?

Hi guys,

Can you please help this newbie to choose his new camera?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM2000 include kitlens <- Is this possible?
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Travel, outdoor, landscape, cityscape & foods (restaurant indoor)!
Any specific models in mind? : None
Any specific features u want? : Actually, I bought my first camera 10 years ago and it was not digital. Back then, I did not care too much about taking great photos. Then, the camera was lost and I only use my iPhone camera to take memorable photos. Now, I plan to travel overseas, so I think I should get a camera to capture this trip especially nature & landscape. Since I like foods as well, I'd like to use it to take great foods photos. Can you recommend a camera that can be used for both outdoor and indoor? I am a newbie, so an entry level DSLR camera should be fine... smile.gif

Many thanks!!!

Is it better than Nikon 3100D?
A friend of mine recommend to get either Canon or Nikon.
What makes u choose Sony A290, mind to elaborate?

TQ! thumbup.gif

no its not better than 3100D, none of the video recording stuff, but it fits your budget well.

well generally its a very basic camera. quite suitable for beginners like you.

the other camera which i can think of below rm2k with lens MIGHT be the canon 1000D.

specs almost the same, but try to hold those two cameras and see which feels better in your hands before you decide.

im not a sifu firstly n im just a beginner oso..

but to answer ur question,i think u shud go with the nikon D3100..why?bcuz its new-er than the D3000 and there's new features in it.

mostly the HD movie recording with the continuous AF when recording..and the price diff is rm400 oni..

nikon D3000 - rm1499, nikon D3100 - rm1900..so,if it was me,im going with the nikon D3100
honestly,i dont quite like about the 30% lost of light on the a55..not one bit.

but other than the 30% lost of light,i think the sony a55>nikon D3100 (just IMO)

i havent tested it yet (both),but by reading the specs and watching reviews on utube,i think the sony is better..10fps,tilt screen..but if u r really caught up in such situation,i mean u cant choose between these 2,just go to some shop and try it out..hold it in ur hands and stuff..which one fits u better...but if it was me,as i said earlier, other than the 30% lost of light,i think the sony a55>nikon D3100 (just IMO)..
*
30% loss of light means if u shoot at f3.2, the light that goes in will be at f3.5.

significant loss? i don't think so. smile.gif
