QUOTE(TheWandererX @ Dec 21 2009, 07:51 PM) RM3k will get you: Hye thanks for the advice!1. Nikon D3000 with extra 1K 2. Canon EOS 450D/1000D with extra 1K 3. Canon EOS 500D with no extra 4. Olympus E-520 with less than 1K extra 5. Sony a550 with no extra If you ask me I'd take the 450D, because the previously 3k+ model has now dropped to 2k, it's a deal well worth your every cent.   You said the 450D has now dropped to 2k, but why at statement #2 I need an extra k to get EOS450D? Pardon me noob here. What about 500D? What I know is that 500D has the video recording feature when 450D doesn't have it. Thanks! |

Hi people!
Going to get myself a new camera. Between these 3 cams : Canon EOS 450D, Nikon D5000 and Sony Alpha 330. Any advice? Can someone compare for me the pros and cons of those 3 cams? Budget is around 3k-4k. Kinda new to photography, so sound kinda noob here. Sorry! Thanks! This post has been edited by renaelyng: Jan 21 2010, 01:53 PM |

QUOTE(TheWandererX @ Jan 21 2010, 05:10 PM) I shall direct this part of the post to you two. Right. Thanks for the advice on the sony alpha! Firstly and definitely, I'd recommend the 450D. It's a RM3k camera, which has had its price reduced to RM2k. Good enough to make me buy it already. The D5000 is also a good DSLR though, don't get me wrong. I haven't got to try one out yet but trust me, if you make up your mind for the D5000, you won't regret a single bit either. Now to the 500D, it's merely a hyped-up 1000D (yes you got me right, 1000D) with SLIGHTLY better specifications and video. That's all. To the Sony Alpha a330. I have not gotten a chance to play with it either. I don't really trust Sony though, they have TOO MANY entry-level cameras in the market as of now. I don't know how to comment on this because I being a Canon user might be misinformed about facts. Lemme tell you this though - I've played with the A200, A300 and A350 previously (the older models of the new replacements) and they were horrible. They couldn't compare to my 1000D at all. Guess the 1000D has a name to live up to eh? It's been in the market for quite a while already. What are the comparisons between 450D and D5000? D5000 is a tad more expensive, but is it worth the money? The pros and cons? Thanks bro! |
