budget is around 1.5k ?

D3000 is for beginner, budget below 2k.
if you can afford to buy D90 then buy it.. budget D90 = above 3k/ without lens = 2.4k to 2.3k

second hand d40 is ok . rm900 with kit lense .

good enough to learn .
if you can afford with d3000 , go for it . not bad for me .

preferable to get a first hand cam =)
d5000 is around how much currently ?

i' m using D3000 too..

btw, i don't believe kenrockwell webpages. he use D3000 before and he say d3000 is super sux. So what, duh?

may i have a look of ur outcome ? i just wanna roughly see the quality =)

basically, it all depend more on skill.

standard lens only

yea ...initially i aim d90, but my friend tell me to start from bottom , ask me to choose 450d or 1000d (canon ) and the nikon d3000 and d5000 , but seems like nikon are more exp than the canon 1 ...so i still wonder which is better option for newbies

d90 have better function than d3000. just compare them in google search. see whats the different.

yea ..i know my friend owning 1 ...but i cant afford la , they suggested my to buy the body 2.4 k , and get a potrait lens around 300-400 ?

then buy d3000 at the moment.

everyone own 1 d90, so what? who cares.. once you have enough money just upgrade to d300s, better function then d90.
i m using d3000 right now also.. once i have enough money i upgrade to d300s. right now i m saving money to buy some lens for my d3000.

yup...

if ur budget is RM1.5k, u can opt for used D3000 kit. but i wud suggest getting a brand new D3000 @ RM1750...
currently D5000 kit price ranging swmr around RM2450 ~ RM2500..

d700 la best.. haa.. alang2.. haahaa

nape x d3s or d3x je? alang2...

Gotta remember, for the basic model, (D3000 and 1000D) Canon seems better with CMOS sensor and also built in motor. D3000 is using CCD sensor and does not come with AF built in motor.
