I start to grow the hobby for photograph. Not to be a professional photographer. Just wanna have some fun taking photo around. I prefer the photo quality ( high resolution and clear ), focus an object such as flower ( The background blur, what we call that ? ).

Added on March 9, 2010, 4:32 pmBased on ISO, G11 is definitely much better... But based on quality, LX3 is a winner

sorry for a noob question
actually if got the motor and dont have the motor whats the difference ?
i was thinking of saving more in order to get lenses thats why i asked about d5000 as well

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget: below 3k
Your Location: -
Preferable brand : Nikon, Canon
Type of photography u want to do : dun have anything in mind
Any specific models in mind? : D5000, EOS 500D
Any specific features u want? : low noise on high ISO, User friendly interface for beginners, easy focus

Im a beginner and this is my 1st DLSR, comparisons plox

if d body din built in AF motor, certain lens (tat dun have AF motor as well) cant autofocus..for eg Nikon entry lvl cam like D40, D60, D3000, D5000 doesnt built in AF Motor..so when attach to 50mm f1.8 lens kenot auto focus, must manual focus.

Well, IMHO, if u r new u might test wif entry lvl cam such as Nikon D3000 or D60 (d noise performance is better than D3000). For D5000, d image quality is slighly better than D3000/D60 and wif video and live view capability..other than tat is not much difference. And it more expensive (Rm800 difference)..i might as well spend d RM800 and get Sb-600 flash XP..If u have plenty money, then straight go to D90. Learn play wif kit lens first then only upgrade to other lens depending on what kind photography u love and wan to do. Alot ppl simply buy lens and in d end just keep it aside wif dust..LOL

if no motor, u need to use lenses that has motor to autofocus. that's the AF-S series. u can stil use lens w/o motor la but quite a hassle to manually focus everytime...

AF-S are more expensive compared to the non-AFS equivalent. e.g. 50mm f1.4D is only about rm1k...but the AFS version is rm1.8k~

ofcoz the newer AF-S got more improvements lah... got manual focus override w/o needing to switch, internal focusing (good if u use graduated filters)

range of AF-S are very good already so for me it's not a big deal

thanks for the feedback
btw i will be using it more on clubs parties and stuffs like that but im also gonna use it for normal outing usage as well
and all these while ive only been working with lx3 only
finally making a change to dslr so i just need ppls opinion to help me make my choice

club allowed to bring dslr?? oh well mayb if u manage to sneak in

u got lx3? then u might as well go for might range adi : Nikon D90, D300, D300s

ooo if like that, what do u think is the limitation of lx3?

lol i work in clubs thats why i can take em into clubs im a dj trying to make a move into photography
actually i like the outcome of the lx3 but so far never tried getting any lenses for the lx3 as for limitations that wan i really not sure at all la
so far my lx3 satisfy me its just that im thinking of getting deeper into photography
thats why i plan on getting a dslr if i never thought that way i will just continue with it and not planned on getting a dslr
i just wanna find something else to do professionally

then i believe Nikon D90, D300 or D300s work pefectly for u

assuming u want to take photos of the club environment... d5000 tilting LCD could prove useful to frame shots above ur head.

of course in low light, ideally u get the D3S la for the high native ISO, but d90 n d300s ISO performance more or less the same with d5000.

juz get d5000 body only, then pair with a fast zoom lens, maybe tamron 17-50 2.8

wana ask wat's d street price for fujiflim f200exr...?
Rm1100++ or Rm850++...?
btw...
can d new sony TX-1 take nice pics during day & nite...?
coz it seems like quite compact & nice for me...

bro u r wrong...D90 noise control AKA ISO performance is much better than D5000. and some article stated that nikon DSLR wif 4 digit series usually pic quality is not good and compressed to low quality. just my opinion, get D90 body which cost 3.1k better than get D5000 body (i think around 2.5k.correct me if i wrong)..not to mention D90 is mid range, D5000 is entry lvl cheers

yes jloi i heard someone telling me bout that difference between d90 and d5000 before and thats the person that made me want to wait and save up for it lol
btw what kinda lens you guys think i should go for ? i was thinking 50mm 1.4

of course it's better, but how many of us can differentiate it? different ppl might have different ideas on how to spend the price difference.

anyway i've written a guide here so those wanna buy a new camera can refer to

feel free to comment or add anything i miss hehe

depend what u shoot more..50mm is good for portrait but not landscape, casual and event shooting..i got my 35mm f1.8 lens and sold it off coz reli seldom take close up/portrait pic
