Hi guys, need some advice from u guys but not sure is this the right post for it here? I currently owned a D3000 & i bought it on 27/11/09, just barely 1 mth plus & i bought it from Hong Kong with International warranty Service.

I love my new cam as it is really easy to manage & good for beginners But lately i heard the calling for D90 or a pre-loved D300 as i'm thinking of getting a lil serious wt photography. Wt my budget constrain, i need to sell off my new baby but i couldn't find what's the second-hand price for this model as it is still very new. Another question is how much can i sell it for? Would ppl want to buy a set from HK?

Pop up flash with diffuser have very very limited reach =/. I have one of those pop up diffuser, but then ever since I got my flash, I never used the pop up unless I'm triggering my flash wireless lol.

First you need survey on the garage how much people is selling, 2nd is prepared lose some bucks ya... third.. prepared yourself with offer from another that too low.. don't rush selling it out..

yaa...will take all advise seriously, try to improve my gear n skill, hope soon update my pic here but not now lor..even my "anak buah" also complain my pic....huuhuhuu.
i really enjoy my new hobby now...

thanks guys!!

p/s: what software most of u use to edit pic?..do PM if u cant reply here...thanks again... : )

Photoshop!! Paint! ! AcDsee!!!

Adobe lightroom and picasa

Thanks C.P.U & will search harder for the recommended selling price for my set

You are most welcome. I will suggest you to continues using to improve your skill however your skill already great, is time to move on to upper entry.. .. I still at beginner and my skill still sux..

photoscape...but potoshop will be better....

Lightroom! am actually doing a post on lightroom now for my blog hehe..still in draft

at my opinion, losing rm 100~200 is firm...but then ur set is HK set....hmm...how long is the warranty??
because from what i know,international warranty divided by half....
(mean like if i buy the camera frm sg,then the warranty only half year if i wan international warranty)

Im not sure, but i guess the warranty system is like this?
u buy from MY, u have 1 year MY warranty n 6 months international warranty
same as buy from HK, i year HK warranty but 6 months international

most laptops companies have such similar system
2 years warranty, but only 1st year is international warranty, 2nd year is only local warranty

C.P.U,

I'm a newbie also actually and there are so much more i need to learn & improve I'm currently struggling with my AF 50mm f/1.8D lens as it is not easy to manual focus. Went out with 2 friends for outdoor portrait on 1st Jan & it was challenging (with my 50mm lens) but i did benefit from the experience i had. Many of my family members are into photography and i was being advice to consider to upgrade sooner or later so i thought since my set is still new (better price?) and why not?

My dad used to be a full time photographer during the film SLR era & he owned a small photo shop business with the machine for photo print & a studio. That's where i started to develop the interest when i was young. He is now retired from his line and very content with his D60 & a few other compact cams. Oh well i'm in no rush to sell off, but if there is a serious buyer then i will consider Otherwise i will just save more & get another 1 later in the future so i can keep my D3000 for traveling purpose since it is so light & handy (which i like)

Losing RM100 - RM200 doesn't sound tht bad, was worried that will people will press me for better price since my set is from HK. I was not told about the half year part. The seller told me that it is 1 year International Warranty which it comes with a card & also an official receipt. Many travelers or holiday makers were buying cameras from them when i was there. In fact another friend of mine bought a D90 & i purchased 2x D3000 (1 for my younger brother). HK really has got good deal to offer, but i guess there is a price to pay which is the warranty part. Just checked my receipt & card, it is stated 1 year and no further details But it is ok lah, not desperate to sell unless there is serious buyer then i can consider lah. Hehehe i guess the best is for me to work harder to save more & buy another set so i can keep my D3000 for traveling

hi, in my opinion D40/D40x/D60/D3000/D5000 is a very good DSLR. although it is called entry-level DSLR but i do not agree that it is for beginners. There is nothing you cannot do with the entry level camera (unless you are talking about HDR and some advance features in the higher end DSLR). I have been using D40 for almost 2 years now, it is still my favorite DSLR although i also own a D90. Although D40/D40x/D60/D3000/D5000 is lacking of the built-in motor, but that is what makes it lighter! If you got the budget, keep this camera where you can still use this as spare unit, buy the mid/higher end DSLR once you are familiar with all the functions in D3000. That is just my opinion. if you want to sell it, u can post it in the Garage Sales or i know many people post in the Free Trade Zone site.

agree with u

I give up my baby d40 too because i need the money to upgrades and i missing it so much and it is the best SLR for traveling to me
because of the light weight and the small size to carry around. Looks real good and comfortable on my girlfriend neck.

Selling my 18-55 mm and 85mmf1.8

Any recommendation on what should i buy ?? i m into portrait and event

Portrait ehh? Why don't you retain the 85mm f/1.8 for portrait shots?

1750 vc is good but when in very lowlight condition it will hunt quite a bit. IQ is good..
