what is recommend len for traveller? std len kit can't zoom far right?

For what brand? For Nikon it'd be a Nikon 17-55/Tamron 17-50 and a Nikon 70-300. For Canon it'd be a Tamron 17-50/Canon 17-55 and a Canon 55-250. Sony I think should be 17-55 and the 55-200. (If Sony has a 17-55 that is) The 18-70 kitlens is absolutely horrible. At least that's what I see from the a250/350/230. Tried these three with that lens... not much difference. All looked really bad. Needed a LOT of sharpening with Lightroom to achieve similar quality.

prefer canon..

for 25-250, front part number is for far zoom & rear number is for marco ? noob here

Canon? Well 55-250 is noting the zoom range. 55mm-250mm which means from normal to telephoto.

Taken from the-digital-picture.com:



This is at 55mm.



This is at 250mm.

Hi there sifu's, which camera do you think is better for me? I want to use it for indoor shooting clothing that are on mannequins w/ a backdrop.

I cant decide EOS 50D or Nikon D90.. Helppp

Both cameras are intermediate-level cameras with similar functions. I'd guess you would want a recommendation for your equipment?

I'd like to know what is your total budget first, by the way.

Budget is not a problem, but i dont want a lens too good that im not going to fully use it. All i want is indoor pictures of clothings taken on mannequins. Thats all.. What lens u suggest?

The nikon comes with 18-105mm VR lens
50d comes with 17-85mm IS Kit

Optically the 18-105 is inferior compared to the Canon's 17-85. Doesn't mean the Canon's is superb either. Both are mediocre lenses.

I'd suggest you to get the 50D body with a 50 1.8 or a D90 body with the 50mm 1:1.8D. These two should be good for 'portrait' shoots, as they amount to about 80mm on an APS-C sensor.

If you want the zoom though, yes the above mentioned 18-105/17-85 would be good.

Price-wise, the D90 is cheaper, with the body only going at 3.2k+- but with less features. I'd suggest you take the D90 since you don't need features like 6.3fps and such whihc are available in the 50D.

interested to upgrade from digi cam to dslr.
which one has titlt lcd and video mode??

Consider a Canon Powershot? They're value for money and should be or above 10mp.

500D, D80. You might be lucky to find a 40D too but that's about it.

As far as I know only the TX1 and HX1 from Sony are noteworthy - the rest are not that much of a deal.

I'd recommend a Canon Ixus 100/110 IS (:

d5000 has both, but you need to state your budget for us to know what type of dslr you want to get.

btw d5000 costs around rm2750
