QUOTE(NooberThanYou @ Oct 26 2010, 10:42 PM) d3100 or A33? Why? A55 XD well A33 has an edge in video recording compared 2 D3100. Other than that, nothing fancy much except 4 the EVF. |

QUOTE(SHARCS @ Oct 30 2010, 01:07 PM) My friends offer me a sony dslr, alpha 200 with a basic lense, battery grip and beg with a price of RM 1600. Is it reasonable for me to buy it? How's it quality? Please give me advise, since I am a beginner in this photography world. Can I get a better camera with this budget (RM 1600~RM 2000)? A33 with kitlens and etc for 2.2k and A55 with kit and etc for 2.5kAwesome? |

QUOTE(atong @ Nov 14 2010, 05:24 PM) Hi everyone, newcomer here. with 6000 bucks, that for body or with lens and etc alone?Only use small digital cam before. Really interested in DSLR but dunno which to buy. Budget: RM 3000 - 6000. Any suggestion? You can get D7000 or D300 with that kinda $$ you are having lol.. It depends whether you want to spend on an expensive body or get a slightly lower end and get better glass. D7000 with kit is around 4.5k like that, add the rest of ur budget for a bag, drybox or another lens or perhaps Speedlite.. Canon, you can get the 60D or maybe better ones already. |

QUOTE(bang cik @ Nov 14 2010, 08:44 PM) Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR I do not think its possible to get Nikon D3100 at below 2k with kit lol?Budget: <RM 1800 Your Location: Kedah/Peneng Preferable brand : nikon Type of photography u want to do : All Type Any specific models in mind? : nikon D3100 Any specific features u want? : with lens Added on November 14, 2010, 8:56 pm QUOTE(lee82gx @ Nov 14 2010, 06:37 PM) Type of camera/lens/accesories : Compact or Mirrorless Mirrorless?Budget : RM2.0k Your Location : Penang Preferable brand : Anything as long as its reliable Type of photography u want to do : Typical landscape for family outing, indoor portraits, MOST IMPORTANT is baby portraits who are moving quite fast indoors. Any specific models in mind? : Nikon D3100, Nex-3 (18-55mm), Panasonic LX-5, Canon G-12 Any specific features u want? : Very quick continuous shooting for 5 seconds. To capture the baby. Also need 720p movie. I'm really stuck right now as I'd really prefer a compact camera that can fit in a big side pocket rather than a SLR or like the NEX-3 which both need bags or slings. So far I've not handled the LX-5 or G-12 yet but from the specs it doesnt seem either can shoot quickly and continuously, for at least 4-5 seconds. Am I right or should I go and try it out myself? Are you talking bout the new Sony's DSLT? If you wanna take potraits, might as well go for a DSLR/DSLT that would be more worth it in a long run, 2k can get you stg like a nikon d3000 or Sony A33.. QUOTE(w.j0102 @ Nov 14 2010, 06:42 PM) tyvm.. But is the lack of AF motor in the camera make me harder to buy cheaper lenses? The AF is on the lens lol. Then invest on a Sony A33 perhaps?This post has been edited by chiahau: Nov 14 2010, 08:56 PM |

QUOTE(bktse26 @ Nov 15 2010, 11:40 AM) Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR With your budget, 6k and you hardly will use the camera, why not get a cheap camera and get it done with? That's wasting money.Budget: RM 6000 - 6500 Your Location: KL Preferable brand : nikon Type of photography u want to do : All Type Any specific models in mind? : nikon D7000/D3100 Any specific features u want? : with super zoom lens The questions are should I get the 1) D7000 wit the NIkkor 18 - 200 mm? 2) D7000 with Sigma 18 - 200 mm? 3) D3100 with Nikkor 18 - 200 mm? Budget is of course a concern but I am after value for money. I seldom use the camera except on certain occasion and traveling oversea once or twice a year. Thank you, To answer your Q, might as well get a D7000 with a zoom lens la. It will cost roughtly around 5k++ that range. |

QUOTE(bktse26 @ Nov 15 2010, 04:35 PM) that is why I am thinking of getting either the D3100 + nikkor 18- 200 mm lens or D7000 with the Sigma 18 - 200 mm lens. Lol.which one is better, a cheap camera with an expensive lens or expensive body with cheaper lens? I personally the D7000 + Sigma 18 - 200 mm lens but worry the performance of the Sigma lens. For me, a mid range body with a killer lens will pawn even pro body with noob lens. Depends on you. Since you are not into DSLR much, might as well get stg like Nex or PnS camera. D3100 with zoom lens would do, since you are not doing much with it but once you get poisoned, you will spend more n more XD |

QUOTE(tachlio @ Nov 15 2010, 09:08 PM) Please give me some suggestion, currently look on Sony Nex3K Sony A33? Its a DSLR but smaller in size. But a bit more exp compared to your NEX.Offer getting is 1.85K with 8Gb + Screen Protector. So within this range any better offer Camera around, not prefer ordinary DSLR as the size is big. Please give me any better choice other than this. QUOTE(viruz019 @ Nov 15 2010, 10:31 PM) Hi all Sifus and Gurus..wanna ask.. Erm, 2.6k would be reasonable with kit lens and etc la.im planning to get the Sony A580..do you guys think it's worth getting that dlsr? or there's better choices? i was browsing at LYN garage sales and saw one shop selling it for RM2688 comes with 8GB memory card and alpha cleaning kit. But its an awesome camera, I can say that. works fine and cost efficient. Head to the Alpha thread for more info XD |
