I'm also choosing between these two DSLR..
but.. I would like to know what makes 450D better than D3000?

I suggest you forget about the latter. The previous-generation Sony models sucked, really badly. With the kitlens. The quality is atrocious. At least the newer models are slightly better.

I suggest you look for a used 1000D, it's your best bet. A Nikon D40 kit if you're really, really lucky. Forget the D60 too. The D3000 has so many significant improvements over it.

Added on January 31, 2010, 11:00 pmThe 450D is in-between the 1000D and the 50D. What do you think? (: It's a bridge between intermediate and entry-level. A notch higher than the D3000 and the 1000D.

Ic.. I also not understand..
why cannon lens can cheaper than nikon even both also need a motor in the lens to help auto focus..

is it because of mass production?

No idea. But it doesn't apply for all Canon lenses though. Some are more expensive than the Nikon latter. Anyway, most Nikon lenses (from the past era) don't have AF motors while every EF lens in the Canon's arsenal has an AF motor.

1000D body + 18-55mm NON IS kitlen = RM1330
Worth it ?

Non IS is a drawback, but for that price for a mint condition body it'd be a good deal. Your choice (: it's a really good deal.

Thanks for your advise

hm... price is a factor here... any significant plus points for the 450d compared to 3000d?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM3000 include kitlens
Preferable brand : ok with any brand
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : sony alfa 380
Any specific features u want? : most completed function.

Really struggling with the choices between 450D and D3000 cause only few more hundred top up..

worth it for me

im doing fine with no IS at 55mm

If you're landscape or portrait..... there's many rival for you to choose

If you want a built-in stabilizer which mount on any lens you attach, dynamic angle shooting on PnS (used on portrait), fast action shooting and yeah good low light performance...

Sony A550+SAL1855 Kit Lens can be your choice

Hi.. how much does Panasonic Lumix X3 cost now?
is it suitable for a beginner in photography?

what about olumpus SP 590U and Sony TX1?

any disadvantage for sony a380? wat's the difference between a380 and a550? thx for advice

The a380 is a notch down from the a550 if I'm not mistaken, which makes the a550 'on par' with intermediate cameras like the Nikon D90 and the Canon EOS 50D.

By the way, wingster, what is so special about this 'dynamic angle shooting on PnS'? Just wondering. Never heard of before.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Compact camera
Budget: RM600
Your Location: Cyberjaya
Preferable brand : Panasonic, Samsung, Olympus
Type of photography u want to do : Normal photography (non serious)
Any specific models in mind? : Lumix DMC-FS15, Samsung SL201
Any specific features u want? : Antiblur and decent twilight portraits

Been out of touch for a long time. I need quick recommendations. Thank you for reading
