now i'm clear already, and i'm planning to go further with photography cause my digital camera cant fulfill me anymore.. XD
should i wait for 600D or go with 550D? since not much changes.. or wait till 600D out then oni get 550D hoping the price will drop?

Well it is not for me to say this. I think you need to go and test it out at the shop.

I mean 600d have wireless transmitter built-in for wireless flash and also the swivel screen thingie. I'd say go for 60d for the same advantage and top lcd screen also the 6.3 burst rate, save time and the thing is almost the same just that 60d feels more tough at hand rather than 550d or 600d for that matter.

but once again, it is up to you to buy what.. since it is your money and well.. you will be the owner for the tool.. so I advice that you pick whichever that you think best for you.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM3000 body only.
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : 550D or 60D?
Any specific features u want? : -

I actually have a 400D, do you guys think I should buy another new one or keep back my 400D?

ya hey thx for commenting.. i'm stil very new to this and stil considering which to buy and yet i dun wan to regret after i bought wrong stuff.. yea juz googled the diff between 60D and 600D, seems like 60D have more advantage compared to 600D. any idea that will 60D price drop when 600D on shelves?

If u notice these days everyone carry DSLR and many lens but how many looks great?. I not criticizing anyone but to make u understand its like u buy a Skyline R35 but u take it to drive to work. The car is abit big for parking and too long to overtake sometimes. Question is do u really need it? It does look good petrol also makan faster. The car have tons of features but u hardly use it.

DSLR without proper lens cant take macro , cant zoom far , lack of quality sometimes. So why not learn from a friend? if your friend suggest u to get D90 or D3100 ask them to let u play around it to see whether u will like it?

Like macro ? low light ,portrait , landscape? Then only decide. Not too late?

i think i roughly get an idea of DSLR liao, it should be the skills but not the camera nor lens.. and by reading all those thread in lyn, some thoughts came into my mind, if i get camera with kitlens, will they provide camera bag? how big the capacity of memory card should i get? i forgot what is that called liao, a storage that will normalize the humidity one, where you store camera and lens one, how much will it cost? should i buy that after i get my camera? money is a matter to me since i'm still a student..

it should be the skills but not the camera nor lens
You need to know the basics of
Aperture
Shutter Speed
ISO Usage
White Balance
Composition
Lighting (when you are more experience)

You need better body-built body with weatherproof if you prefer to take photo outdoors. A more high-end if you want to capture sports. Otherwise, an average DSLR will do the job just fine.
Lens is important for sharp images. Overall, you need to have balance on those 3. Just my 2 cents

will they provide camera bag?
Most of the time, it is provided but it depends on the seller as well. Ask the salesperson

how big the capacity of memory card should i get?
8 GB might be suffice but you could get more. Class 4 minimum

where you store camera and lens one, how much will it cost?
Drybox. Cheapest you can get is around RM200++

should i buy that after i get my camera?
You should. You wouldn't want fungal invasion on your lens and it will cost more to repair or you might have to throw them away

how bout 550d? which better?

Canon 550D is my personal favorite due to its natural color it gets when photographing. Refer to the spoiler above as sample. It's taken with my friend's 550D. Nikons give very rich colors to photos and suite for your HDR project. I recommend Nikon becos of your requirement. Both are great DSLR in my opinion but I think Nikon is more suitable for your case.

You need to survey that. The package and promotion change from time to time. If you scare being scammed, go for Canon Centre in Times Square. I suggest you dun crave for freebies becus freebies are
