You might get Nikon D3100 if you feel comfortable with it. It's a pretty good DSLR. The lens might be quite costly so maybe you could share some lens with your friends too - mutual beneficial for u and your friend. Canon 1100D will be coming out around this year. I won't recommend you buy it at the moment. If you want full control on DSLR, it's not advisable to take Micro Four Thirds.

thanks for the reply
sorry for asking those noob question ya.. cos i dunno much bout camera but i hope to get one..
those panasonic lx5 and gf2 is call micro four thirds?

is it for long term i should go for DSLR better? cos i found that those panasonic lx5 and gf2 is easy to carry around.. but i afraid i will regret if i dun go for DSLR

Lately in years, I have seen that DSLR has become a norm worldwide. It's depend whether you are going to carry it around alot. Although DSLR has become more compact lately, it still can be very tiring to carry around (for girls, guys might not have this problem). I heard my friend telling me that he rather get a point and shoot camera after owning a DSLR. He hates bring it around cus it's bulky and heavy.

As for Panasonix LX5, you could check the photo quality taken in here. I found it lacks the feel and soul (sorry to panasonic's fans). I prefer the Canon S95 in terms of the photo quality(check in here). DSLR has better in performance in noise handling at higher ISO though. If you take DSLR, you have a lot to learn to get a good photo. Point and shoot can get instance result but there's a limit on what it can do.

Heinlein, thanks so much for the info.. I think I will get a dslr. Btw, I'm not guy so a bit bulky n heavy for me.. Hehe

So ur suggestion for beginner like me is d3100 or any other brand n model that is suitable for me?

Once again, thanks

DSLR D3100
Announced : 19-08-2010
An entry level digital-SLR camera with a new CMOS image sensor, image-processing engine and helpful Guide mode that makes capturing beautiful images easy.

I would suggest to look around your friends. If most of them are using Nikon, I would recommend you to get Nikon as well so you could exchange lens for creative photo shooting. D3100 is suitable for you becus it has guide mode to give you direction how to take the photos you want. Just want to let you know that Nikon lens are not that cheap.

Hi, sifus here,

Wanna ask, i would like to get a camera that can react fast to take my boy's foto. My boy is ~2 yrs old, you know lah, very hard to get him stop for you to take foto. Furthermore, at indoor situation.
