hmm then which lens would be recommended for taking pictures in places like clubs ?

guys.need some price advise

nikon d5000 + sandisk ultra 4gb ( rm 145 ) + hoya filter ( 140 ) + hood ( rm 40 )+ free screen protector = 2839

worth it?

i think d90 kit lens (18-135mm, f3.5) + flash (built in or speedlight) will do..or if u aim for more zoom then can get 18~200mm lens..or get d tamron 17~50mm, f2.8..wider than kit lens 1mm and f2.8..i using this lens and is very good for most kind of shooting


d5000 come with kit lens? hmm sound like worth it..coz new 1 with kitlens cost around 2.6~2.7k..i guess

yea..i think with lens lol... saw in lelong body + kit for 2.4k but no cod.

type of camera/lens/accesories : point and shoot
Budget : RM600 ++
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon or Lumix
Type of photography u want to do : anything
Any specific models in mind? : Canon 95IS and Lumix FS12
Any specific features u want? : -

Please give me some suggestion between these two camera. which one should i go for?? thanks

Ditch the hood, useless. The 4GB card, forget the price, they just say like that to convince you. Filter too.

Try to bargain down to about 2.6k-2.7k. And get a bag.

Sounds too good to be true.

Both are equally good though some claim the 95 is better. Go test both out and see which one is most convenient to you (easy settings, etc)

thanks.
correction, price quoted was for sandisk extreme

i dont want the bag.will get crumpler instead.. isnt filter to protect the lens?

I mean, forget the price. Just 'include' it in the deal and bargain gao gao. (:

Crumplers are like the Gucci of camera bags (well to me that is). Good choice.

crumpler very exp ..i think i gonna get Bagman (like crumpler 7mil size) that cost RM150..LOL

lol i dont want long long kinda lenses the 17-50 sounds good compare to 18-135 or the 18-200
longer lenses will be a trouble when a place is full of people

then get wide lens la.. i oso own 18-200.. not to long meh...

Hi, I am considering the Canon 550D with EFs18-55IS at RM3,113 (RRP) but at the same time I'm not sure if I topup RM800 for D90 with 18-105mm will it be better. I know both D90 and Canon 550D is of different class/level. I'm just a newbie in photography, any recommendation. Thank you

Type of lens: Dslr

hi all,

i am trying to get a entry DSLR.... what's the best option available in market? I have long out of touch on photography world... used to do sales in camera shop last time (4 years back).....

please suggest.... thanks in advance...

Both are worth the price, if you get what I mean la. I couldn't get stock for Crumpler 7MDH for 2 months, got fed up, got a Bagman.

Yes filter is to prevent damage to lenses. Also blocks out UV rays but considered 'obsolete' now so primarily protects the lens from dust and scratches.

Hood is useless. I can bet you they'll give you a cheap petal hood which interferes with the lens (at 18mm severe vignetting is seen).

I wouldn't know about the duty free thing in airports though. Sorry about that one, can't help.

thanks.i'll take u on the hood. ( someone quoted 40 bucks )

i found pro tama 52mm uv filter for rm25 and kenko for rm 30 ( whihc one to get? )

and extra batt they quoted around rm 150?

Added on March 11, 2010, 7:39 pmoh yea and which memory card? sandisk got so many types/class im also confuse.
which one is the good value? no need so pro le...sandisk extreme 4gb (class 10 ) i think is for rm 93?

This post has been edited by y_owez: Mar 11 2010, 07:39 PM

Neither. If you want to compromise on quality, the Kenko will be your second choice. Hoya is the definite first.

Also extra batteries I can direct you to a seller which sells 3rd party ones which are as good for about RM50+.

Adding on, you can do fine with a SanDisk SDHC Class 2. I've got a Class 2 8GB and it works perfectly fine. Don't matter about the Classes, entry-level cameras like ours can't really shoot high-speed anyway (3fps is not fast).

ah..great info +1

hoya really exp..one person quoted 120 :S is that the price range?
