Don't cry..

First of all, I would suggest that you have go the shop and try on 3 model.. Feel it on the hand first... Nex size is much smaller than DSLR.. btw, how much your MAX budget?

1000D is around 1.7k

nex3 18-55 around 1.8k

d3000 rm1.5k

after googling about d3100 ,

it is quite impressive . 10mp CMOS . just no AF motor

Btw is below 2k..just wanna start this hobby..want to learn slowly..:claps:

Personally btw D3000 and 1000D, I would go for 1000D base on the specs, lol.... even I'm a Nikonian.... but the feel of holding and maneuvering it, Nikon is definitely The One!!

Yup... I prefer not compared spec due Sony always had better spec on "paper"....

rule of thumb is....

shutter speed : 1/ [effective focal length]

So the conclusion is to get 1000D instead ? Im worried that D3000 doesnt have the AF motor.

U must think either u will continues upgrading lens(most of newer lens does come with motor unlike 50mm f1.8, etc)? or will stick on same kitlens? Without AF motor, purchasing lens is really pain on wallet or making hole on our pocket sometimes.. >.<

Anyway,which brand you prefer and do you saw the color tone on both brand? You should have a look on it, see either which one you prefer the color?
Myself prefer nikon because it more sharp and vivid(just my point viewing) and canon is soft and smooth color tone.,...

Yeah, for budget around RM2k, I would go for 1000D instead. Now for RM1.9k, the 1000D even bundled with a 50mm f/1.8II

1000D seems more worth it for that range to be honest.

but it's different for ASP-C sensor right? *I read it from DCM*

so it should be= 1/[effective focal length x crop factor]

Correct me if I am wrong.

Why not the D3000 bro?

^ I don't think so. Because basically your focal length is still the same, just the crop sensor can only see part of what a full frame can see. It is only just an 'equivalent'.

If not mistaken 1000D got live view, video recording, build in motor and CMOS sensor!!! which the D3000 lacks off. Correct me if I'm wrong.... forgot the specs dy

I'm thinking about it now. Will let you know if I've decided, bro.

I think no video recording and no build in motor(motor on lens)....

Ohh..so..i like Canon's 1 more..but i also love Nikon.

Main factor is because of CMOS sensor lo and because 1000D can add-on grip.

Why Nikon don't release an official vertical grip for D3000/D5000??

Added on August 12, 2010, 1:49 pm Yeah, both are top contender in the camera world. To me, they both win and both got their specialty. What I can say is buy the one that suites yourself.

Last time I struggle between D60 and 450D until D5000 came out.

What's the differences between D3000 and D5000 ?? And D5000 with kit lens priced at around 2.2k ?

Hmm.... around that price.... CMOS sensor, 11 point autofocus, Live view, Video recording, tilting screen..... This is wat I could thought off U get D3000 if u just take photography as point and shoot and wanted something slightly better den compact cameras.
