I'm about to enter the DSLR world and have decided to get the 1000d. Can the sifus in this thread advice me on the best price that i can get for the 1000d ( of course with the card & bag thrown in). I checked at lowyat but the price(1950.00) still seems to be the same as last year. Maybe this is the current best price! I dont know pleaseeeeee advice. TQ

Thanks dvlzpgrd for youy reply. Anyway i have now got my 1000d, a little cheaper than the price that i had said earlier.
But had a annoying experience!!!!!!!! I COULDN'T GET MY PICS TO LOAD INTO MY PC[/B]**$#%&^%$#^^^[/SIZE].
I had installed all the softwares provided in two different machines (XP & W7), tried connecting 1000d to both machines with usb cable (previously used for DMC FZ5), which i still use to connect my Asus smartphone. Tried connecting with card reader, still nothing was detected by both machines!! Also formatted the card (causing me to lose my pioneer DSLR pics). Tried using non HS card - only detected if connected thru card reader. Totally pissed i went back to dealer and got a replacement SDHC....and still had the same problem. So i decided to head for Canon customer service ..and then something struck me....and yes it worked finally Can any of u guys guess what was the problem or have any of u encountered the same situation ???

I'm sorry for breaching the thread topic, guess i got carried away. But anyway u r right Wanderer, the cable was the problem. It worked fine when i used the provided cable.

**Thanks for your concern, Love Money, but the card the wasn't the problem (anyway it was a sandisk)

I dont know which is better as i am a newbie in DSLR world. But What i know is D3000 (not AP) can be bought at a lot more cheaper price (with kit lens), coz i was offered the same price as the 1000D.

'wanna be hi-tech' -> how much u got for the d3000? mind to share? with kit lens means oni 1 lens rite for the nikon, not like the a380 which i can get 2 lenses with rm2600... m i right?

I ddnt get the d3000, i bought the 1000d. D3000 (oni 1 lens) price i was offered was RM1950, in two different places but i'm sure u can still bargain as i got the 1000d for much less. Any of the Sifus here got any comments about the price ?

I can PM the place to u, u go n deal urself Quickerzranoid, i dont wanna advertise the name of the place coz the dealer says his competitors complain that he sells at a low price & that it damages his competitors bis. But i dont know if it its true coz its up to each dealer on whatever price he wants to sell the item...right? Anyway i,m not a bis man & dnt know how it works..but this dealer .. as far as i have heard the price in forums .. .. this is the lowest.. good luck!!!! Yeah i'm using 1000D alright.
