QUOTE(narien @ Dec 8 2009, 07:51 PM)
thanks for all the advices. i need another advice but unsure if this is the proper thread..anyway, i want to know about filters, what brand available, what type of filters should i buy and what is the price range? i had read about UV and polarize filters and how it is used but i would appreciate if sumwan can educate me more. TQ
*
there r various brand of filter available in the market... from cheap plak brand to the most expensive like Heliopan and B+W (not black and white photography)...
the cheapest u can get for few tenth ringgit until few hundreds like B+W...
normally DSLR user will use UV as protection to avoid damaging the lens...
about the CPL, more on landscape to generate more blueish sky...

Preferable brand :  Canon
Type of photography u want to do :  Potrait, Landscape, Food, Girlfriends
Any specific models in mind? :  was looking at Canon 1000d, 450d,500d, but not sure which direction to go.
Any specific features u want? :  easy to learn and use, easy maintenance, good photos, video function not needed..

am planning to start learning dslr and now i've around RM2.5k to start up, hope sifu can help guide me on the best and most economical way to start learning.

500D maybe out of ur budget... get the 450D while the market still selling it at the price of 1000D if u dun wan the video function...
if u wan good photo get a good lens... emphasis on lens and accessories rather than body upgrade...

i dun suggest to get the 18-200mm... althought i can cover from wide angle to telephoto range but IQ sucks, image corner softness...
go for a 24-70mm F2.8 and later a 70-200mm if u have the budget...

I'm just asking price for Canon EOS 500D here at my place Miri, Sarawak.

The body only is RM2750...

While with kit lens(dunno what didn't pay attention) is RM4850...

While buying body and lens separately body is RM2750 + lense RM2870 = RM5620

Now, how much the price there at lowyat?
Can I get any cheaper than this?
*
wat lens so expensive rclxub.gif dun get conned...
do more research and survey b4 u buy... even the 18-200mm lens is around 4k...

QUOTE(TheWandererX @ Dec 16 2009, 03:36 PM)
I like the way you think. In fact I'm using the same setup, different body only. I'm suggesting the 18-200 because they're just stepping into DSLRs, and I think the 18-200 is a very good choice for a beginner. Personally I don't like changing lenses. Every time I need the zoom range when I'm shooting wide, I have to change lenses, and if I want to shoot wide when I'm on the 55-250 I have to change again. It is a bit of a hassle, don't you think? I wouldn't want to be burdened by that.

It gets really annoying sometimes for me, but I had no choice because back then, 18-200 kits were scarce, exception being the 50D. And I'm sure they'd love the accessibility of the whole range with one lens as a starter.  wink.gif
*
this 1 i agree with technodude...
if u never use the 18-200 b4 then u will never know its performance and IQ...
the most important for me is IQ and this 18-200 is far more worst than 55-250mm...

Type of camera/lens/accesories :  compact dslr / micro 4 3
Budget: 3000-3500
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand :  canon
Type of photography u want to do :  all
Any specific models in mind? :  lumix gf1
Any specific features u want? : 
- great in low light
- compact/small body
- stabilizer (to handle shaking during shooting)
-interchangeable lens
- need to upgrade from my current canon g10. i hate the g10 fixed lens <----- the digic sensor controls the aperture once i start zooming-in (this happens in manual mode, FYI). my aperture is limited from f/3.5. but if i didn't use the zoom function, the aperture starts from f/2.8
thanks y'all
*
compact DSLR? then enty level like canon 1000d and nikon d3000 suits u with its small body with interchangeable lens...
but entry level have its disadvantages like poor perofrmance in low light condition, not very ergonomic hand grip and many more

i m not sure bout this but if u intended to shoot a movie it is feasible to buy a camcorder than a DSLR to do the job...
just my 2 cents...

I have attended photography class as one of my minor in college, and recently I was given a green light on getting my first dslr, but I have minimal knowledge on camera's gear, therefore I am not sure which one ease me well. I have been playing with friend's camera on and off, it is a canon 450D, I hate how you need to press another button to change the aperture, comparing to Nikon D70 which has two different separate dials for each program. If Nikon interface are the same, I will be glad to have Nikon instead of Canon, but please provide me a truthful comment. Thanks before, appreciate any reply and comment. cheers mate.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : dslr
Budget: < RM3000
Your Location:   KL
Preferable brand :  Nikon
Type of photography u want to do :  Landscape
Any specific models in mind? :  D60, D80, D3000
Any specific features u want? :  Good in capturing Lowlight, more than 5 focus point.
*
450D with D700? different category... u r comparing a entry level with a high-end...
i assume u r selecting the manual mode in ur friend's 450D which u will need to hold the exposure compensation button while turning the main dial...
but if u playing with intermediate level like 50D it have 2 dials...
even the above model that u proposing also have only 1 main dial except the D80 coz it is all entry level DSLR...
it is not the matter bout brand interface or wat but more on cost cutting that if u pay for a entry level DSLR then u will get less feature than a intermediate level or high end DSLR...
go do more research...

Thanks TheWandererX.

I have heard people saying that Nikon is good at capturing greenery subject where Canon captured a better skin tone color, I am wondering if this is true. As I prefer capturing landscape instead of portrait. I don't think I like either the D3000 & D5000. The Video function and the twisted screen annoyed me for an SLR, no offence though. that's my personal thought. that's why I am looking into Dxx series. I've got few friends having Canon, and I really think that I want a Nikon instead. Shall you provide me more options, thanks for the advise in advance. Cheers!
*
majority people saying like this coz they also follow wat other people says...
i m not saying it is nonsense but if u can pls judge by urself...
at the end it is all depend on ur skill...
just pick up any available camera and shoot and learn...
but the D60/D40 model has been discontinued...
and why u dislike the D3000? it has 11 focus point same as the D5000 which is higher spec as compared to D60 only 3 focus point... and the D3000 also dun have video mode either...

I want to buy 500D body. As a beginner more focused on learning, should I stick with the 18-55mm kit lens or go for a better general-purpose lens? My friend recommended the 17-85mm or the 18-135mm lens. What are your opinions? Thanks.

17-85mm has some very bad review... i rather buy the tamron 17-50mm F2.8... or the 17-55mm F2.8
