Guess i will settle with this

Sony SLT-A33 + Sony 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 DT SAM + Sony 55-200mm F4-5.6 DT SAM = RM2699

over

NEX3

Still very new to DSLR and trying to do a lot of reading but too many things to absorb @_@

i asked Denki Sony Centre @ Subang Parade and they told me a33 is out since yesterday

another difference: a33 is 14mpx and a55 is 16mpx

Sony malaysia site havent put up the price yet...very tempted to get a33 with dual lens

now i got stuck with my option whether to settle with NEX or A33.

btw, i got one question to ask regarding 18-55mm kit lens. When i tried this lens to take close up pic, the IQ appear to be quite bad. My friend told me this lens is not meant for close up. I like to take macro picture so wonder whether 18-55 is good enough without having macro lens.

albnok: thanks. I am new to DSLR and still doing a lot of reading everyday.

you can try older Ixus model. Maybe can fit your price range.

I have one but now got poison by NEX and a33/55.

Already surveyed few shop but have yet to see a33

zstan: for both a33 and a55 or a33 only?
