Type of camera/lens/accesories :  Digital SLR
Budget: RM3600 +/-200
Your Location:   Melbourne
Preferable brand :  Canon
Type of photography u want to do :  Landscape
Any specific models in mind? :  550D, 50D
Any specific features u want? :  I pretty much want to get into photography.

I have the option of getting the 50D with a EF-S 18-135mm IS Lens Kit for RM3663

alternatively I could get the newer 550D with a EF-S 17-85mm IS USM for RM3803.

I'm kinda torned between the 2 as one has video recording capability while the other is a body targeted at more advanced users. This will be my first DSLR as well.
EDIT: Just noticed another kit lens option for the 50D with the 17-85 IS USM which is for RM3584. Figured it would be a better comparison if the lenses were the same.

buy 550D + 17-85mm IS USM since this is ur first DSLR. I just bought mine and its really good...4.5/5 stars rclxm9.gif

Hey guys,

I don't know much about cameras, so I decided to rely upon your knowledge and wisdom to advice me.

I was wondering which camera should I get if I want to take photos that I can use to print for buntings, banners, posters, etc?

How many megapixels should I be looking for?
Thanks in advance!  smile.gif

ummm for bunding, printing banners should for for RAW and large Mpixels.... biggrin.gif

I was thinking of getting a dslr camera for entry level.
Currently comparing couple of brand such as Sony, Canon and Nikon.
No idea what to look for. Looking at Sony A200, Nikon D3000 and Canon 1000D. But feeling like A200 is a bit outdated.
Budget below 2k.

you can get a Canon 1000D or D3000 thumbup.gif for entry level

@dri@n7386 like what those pro's said.... depends on ur liking based on brand.... but overall 550D is a newer camera so expect more from it rather then outdated D90.... blink.gif blink.gif but my opinion is that, i personally like 550D coz i own 1... and i like it...

D90 has a good built, feels solid. and it's easier and faster to control cause it has 2 dials for aperture and shutter separately.

correct D90 has better egronomics... but 550D is much user friendly...

that's the least that you need to worry. they would normally last for days or may go up to thousands shots before you need to recharge depending on your shooting needs.   flex.gif

picking up what you like is more important.  drool.gif

about the warranty, that's correct.  icon_idea.gif

QUOTE(radi0head @ Jul 15 2010, 08:18 PM)
whoa~ can last for days ar? even if i snap it d and view it right away? tat's fantastic... now that makes a strong point to scrap the idea of buying another compact cams (as mine spoilt d) and get a dslr instead...

so both canon and the nikon are as good ha? now i'm deciding between this two but seeing the warranty that canon covers 3years... tat's a bonus!

wink.gif

hahaha wont last for days if u keep snapping... most of the battery will last about 300-400 or more...depending on how u shoot lo and yes canon has 1+2 years warranty...and nikon only provides 1... tongue.gif

actually depends on your needs....
got question to ask u back
1. do u need a larger megapixel count?
2. do u need FF?
if no then u can just upgrade your lense and flash + studio equipments\
else
Sell off 40D and everything else and buy 5D Mk II + lens + flash 580EXII thumbup.gif

as in function wise almost similar.... just dat video better frame rate better metering system and more Megapixel... the rest are almost the same...

Today I borrow my colleague Canon/ Fuji/ Agfa digicam and shoot some samples of the meeting room (yellow light, not quite bright). My boss like the Fuji natural colour & sharpness. I told him Fuji is not popular and the best model is F200EXR about RM1200 which out of budget. I then read some review and found that predecessor of F200EXR like F100fd & F50fd are the best low light model back in 2008. He is willing to increase budget to RM800+. I can't find the price of F100fd or F50fd. anyone knows?
*
u can try here.... eBay try and ask whether there is international shipping or not (quite cheap $100 = RM 300-400+)... good luck anyway...
