QUOTE(-kytz- @ Mar 16 2010, 01:25 AM) Just curious...What't this Nikon Coolpix L100?My sis has it and it's only around RM900-1K.....I definitely doubt it's a DSLR..Is this a semi pro camera?I think it's just a normal PnS with superzoom,no? i think it's pretty safe to say, apart from canon S90 and G11/G10, no other compacts can beat LX3. S90/G10/G11 can say 'got fight' la...diff ppl diff preferences. but IMO these 4 is bttr than any other compacts out thereTried it but didn't give me any good impression of it.Practically very noisy and can't change the ISO  How will this fare against my future Lumix LX3?  I need to know because my family is going for a holiday and need to determine which will be taking family photos  QUOTE(empigid @ Mar 16 2010, 02:50 AM) Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR first of all, the olympus pen EP-1 is not a dslr Budget: 4k max Your Location: kl/pj Preferable brand : NO IDEA Type of photography u want to do : potrait, landscape Any specific models in mind? : olympus pen ep-1 i'm a beginner want to buy dslr to take good pics, not too bulky, easy to use.. any recommendation? also now got E-P2 and E-PL1. can also consider panasomic lumix GF-1. not sure about EP2 and EPL1 but EP1 and GF1 is under 3k. extra 1k u can spend on flash, or viewfinder, good bag, spare battery, extra memory cards etc. but if u get the camera with 20mm f/1.7 pancake lens (arnd rm1.3k i guess), u'll get much much better portraits it wont do much for landscape thoughQUOTE(Lester1987 @ Mar 16 2010, 09:39 PM) Type of camera/lens/accesories : compact camera pretty big budget for a compact there Budget : below $1k (SGD) Your Location : KL/Singapore Preferable brand : anything Type of photography u want to do : anything Any specific models in mind? : anything Any specific features u want? : small size (easy to smuggle into concert halls as i wanted to take pictures in concerts). still give me a decent quality photo after i zoom. as i said i will be going to watch concert and want to take picture in the concert. maybe canon SX120IS? if u really want good concert shots, the best way is to get as close to the stage as possible. so spend the balance for a better ticket! QUOTE(y_owez @ Mar 16 2010, 10:19 PM) panasonic g2 ( coming in june ) vs sony alpha micro ( coming in may ) vs nikon d5000k g2 and micro not yet come out how to compare...whcih is good? g2 has the lcd i love that can self potrait without being blocked by tripod. |

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Mar 17 2010, 06:43 PM) I already bought the most expensive ticket, but i cant take the picture with my SE Satio even with a 12.1mp camera phone, after zoom, the picture still sux. that actually makes me wanna buy a camera. but i look at the picture on the camera, it looks bulky leh, u sure we can smuggle that into the concert hall ar? that's because it's a phone...even 2mp camera u buy in 2002 can beat current 12mp phone u know.. to me it's not that bulky in real life. maybe can also consider lumix tz7? im assuming u need long zoom here though. if u want really2 good concert photos like in magazines u need a dslr with good lens...which is very hard to smuggle lah haha This post has been edited by dvlzplayground: Mar 17 2010, 07:11 PM |

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Mar 17 2010, 10:00 PM) no la, what i wan is at least can see the artist face and know it is that particular artist's concert i attended when i post it at facebook. coz i try to take with the camera phone, u will see those petak petak after we zoom it too much and can't even see the face clearly. so in conclusion, i wan the smallest camera that can give me the best quality picture if i take from about 20m-50m distance. At least they dun give me the petak petak after i zoom it. Sorry coz i am a noob here, all the while i assume that since those SE phone comes with cybershot, so i persume that it works the same as a digicam. That's why i keep changing mobile phone and didn't think of getting a camera last time until recently i saw a picture taken from my aunt's 8mp digicam is much clearer than my phone, then i start to think wanna get 1 to smuggle into concert halls lol that's the power of branding my fren  too bad it's not powerful enough to conquer physics hehehe. u need a camera that has good zoom, fast lens n good ISO performance. lumix LX3 n canon S90 has good lens n pretty good ISO performance for a compact, but both lacking zoom lah |

QUOTE(lost_destiny @ Mar 18 2010, 09:28 AM) Not really looking for a recommendation here but wanna ask something. dun say almost rm200... it's just rm120. extra rm120 for one more year of not worrying abt ur camera, for me it's reasonable. i dunno how much warranties are supposed to cost thoughYesterday, I went to LYP looking for Lumix ZR1 point and shoot camera. Found 2 shops selling this model for a different price that comes with a different warranty period. This one shop is selling it for RM1180 with 1 year of warranty while the other one is RM1300 for 2 years of warranty. My question is, is it reasonable for a year of warranty priced for almost Rm200? Which one should I go with? |

QUOTE(desmondxz @ Mar 18 2010, 12:12 PM) Type of Camera: DSLR unless ur budget is 3k+, ure limited to the models w/o focus motor anyway. D3000 n D60 not much difference. bigger screen (same resolution though) and 11 AF points rather than 3. 1500 seems reasonable to me. i think both choices are ok, up to u whether ~rm500 is worth it for a brand new camera Budget: Below RM 2000 (Might consider >RM 2k if worth it) Location: KL Preferred Brand: Nikon Specific Model: D60, D3000, D5000 New to DSLR. Got D60 offer (2nd hand, use less than a year) still under warranty till Aug 2011, with the price of RM 1500. Any recommendations? Which is better? Get a new D3000 or stick with the 2nd hand unit? My purpose of DSLR is for hobby. Thanks in advance. d5000 also good choice hehe. better in low light, can record video n got tilting screen. worth the price la |

QUOTE(desmondxz @ Mar 18 2010, 06:46 PM) Hi all, well actually better camera doesnt mean u can use it longer. if u want durability u shud look at D300s which is 6-7k like that. D60 also can last as long as D90.Thanks for the advice. Today I met my friend. My friend said that D90 is good, and he suggests that why not I wait for some time to keep the money, then, when I have enough money, I can buy a D90 which is better than the D60, D3000 and D5000. Well, I love photography all the while, but then my parents are unable to support me with the equipment, so, now I am in university and I have save some PTPTN money, feel that since I have interest on it long time ago, I think I should really pursue my interest and learn something about it. So, what is your advice? I plan to use the body till I finish my education. I would change it only when I come out to work and have the ability to pay for it. Is D90 is so good that it could let me use for about 4 to 5 years? If so, I think it's not a bad idea also to save up a little bit and to invest in a better camera with more controls and features. Please advice. Thanks so much. but yeah if u can save up for a D90, it's a good choice. better ISO compared to D3000 plus got movie mode. but the main advantage is a built-in motor la...so if u need the motor, get D90. IMO if u buy D90, but all ur lens are AF-S, shud get D5000 in the first place. the price difference can buy lens or flash QUOTE(hsienhsien @ Mar 19 2010, 11:24 AM) Type of camera/lens/accesories : prosumer u need around Rm1500 for the models u listed bro. even 2nd hand i dun think can get under rm1000. not sure about fz28 lahBudget: rm1000 Your Location: seremban, batu pahat, melaka mmu Preferable brand : panasonic or canon Type of photography u want to do : macro, shooting for model , landscape Any specific models in mind? : fz35&fz28(i love this design) , s90, lx3 Any specific features u want? : no idea, as long it is a good prosumer |

QUOTE(kocuroy @ Mar 23 2010, 06:27 PM) sifuu..pls help me.. looking at the price also already know D300s is better hehewhich 1 is batter nikon D90 or D300s? and what is the different between this two model? main differences, D300s built is better, more durable. autofocus system also better. can use two memory cards. 2 important features for video are D300s can accept external microphone whereas D90 can only use the low quality built-in one...and also D300s can autofocus while shooting video whereas D90 can only manual (but then AF during video is slow lah, some ppl juz prefer manual anyway) |
