Type of camera/lens/accesories :  DSLR with lens.
Budget:  rm2k
Your Location:   JB, KL.
Preferable brand :  Canon, Nikon, but if there are other good alternatives then I don't mind other brands.
Type of photography u want to do :  Normal daily stuff. Nothing too professional. Plan on using the camera while we travel, etc.
Any specific models in mind? :  D3100 for now.
Any specific features u want? : 
Me and my girl are total beginners. We've only used those cheap point and shoot cameras before but we're planning on learning more about photography. I've done a little bit of research and it seems like D3100 is probably our best bet at the moment. Seems to have good features and easy to use and good for us beginners. However I've also read reviews for Canon 550D and it seems like a much better camera for not much more.

Being total beginners we'd like some advice here. Is Canon 550D worth the extra money over the D3100? I don't want to spend about 2k on D3100 and 5 months later wish I would have spent a little more on the 550D. Is it possible for us to 'outgrow' the D3100 easily? We don't mind spending a little more for 550D if it's worth it.

Thank you very much for any advice.
*
550D is technically better as you need not to worry bout the type of lens that you can use in future.. Sony have A33 which is around the same price at ur budget. Nikon has D3100.

Budget : RM2,000 or less include kitlens
Your Location : PJ/Subang
Preferable brand : Canon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : 550D, 1100D, 1000D

Any specific features u want? :
I'm kinda a beginner here and want to start on photography. Want to learn how to take good pictures (moving objects with blur background, up close shoot, etc..) and maybe take some video recording. Been looking around and i think the three models above are closest to what i want...but dunno which to take as i dun really understand the differences betweem those models..

Thanks for advise and recommendations.

550D is your best bet.

QUOTE(seejun87 @ Mar 17 2011, 06:42 PM)
I wanna get my 1st DSLR Camera. But i dunt know which one to choose.
In my mind, for my budget, i can get either Nikon d3100 or Canon d1100.
But i dunt sure which one is better? Can i have some advices from yours?
*
Erm, Sony A33 would prove better compared to Canon 1100D actually. D3100 has no AF motor, causing problem for lens compatibility in future.

Worth. Depending on what you are expecting from it la.

Nikon d3100 or Canon d1100, which one can produce better capturing results?

Both produces same image quality, depending on your skills only.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will look to it.
Of course will have to follow the sifus to weddings first to learn the trade  notworthy.gif

d7000 + kit without a proper flash gun would be quite useless in weddings btw. Coz the lightning inside wedding ballrooms usually is terrible doh.gif

Or you can look into Sony A580 + F58 + tamron 17-50.

Best part is, this combo cost around 4.3k and has everything you need for a wedding shootout, except skills that need to be trained biggrin.gif

Type of camera/lens/accesories :  DSLR, a zoom lens 18-105mm, a 85mm lens and a external flash
Budget:  around RM3k for body and a flash first, I'm not sure how much i will invest in, but i am saving money from now smile.gif
Your Location:   KL, Cheras
Preferable brand :  Nikon for camera body and others lens & accesories i don't really mind the brands.
Type of photography u want to do :  Landscape, Portrait, Bokeh
Any specific models in mind? :    D3100 and D90. So far these 2 are my consideration, but i do hope to get more option and opinion from you guys.
Any specific features u want? :  I want to get a good overall kit as i like to travel and snap photo that i felt is worth taking. I need a external because from my experiences of using my uncle's dslr, my portrait shots are always not well lighted, and the 85mm lens is for fun to shoot bokeh and portrait, I like to take picture photo at night too, because of the playful colour of the lights and all sort of things, so a tripod would definately help.

and yah, I'm new to photography, sometimes i want a picture to be something in my mind but I can't produce a good shot, maybe it's due to the gadget or my technique.

and i'm trying to snap the picture excatly what i saw, without editing it. I think a picture should be perfect at the moment you trigger the shot. My uncle gave me this advise few months ago..

any advise for me? I'm listening biggrin.gif
*
Tough choice there.

3k for body - 60D, 600D, 550D, D90, D3100 + lens, Sony A55 + lens, Sony A580 + lens.

D90 is quite old, therefore, 550D, 600D, 60D or Sony's more worth looking into. But its your choice. D90 is still a good camera biggrin.gif

thanks bro for the opinion, i appreciate it and will do some research. I heard people advise that it's good to invest in a good body as future no need to upgrade that fast. What do you say? If it's true i most probably will save abit more, but expensive body for a newbie like me is  doh.gif
*
Expensive bodies, indeed in long term are a better investment. But ask yourself, would you change your body within 1 or 2 years?

If you can afford body changes, then yea, better go for something more expensive and better.

i've been looking at those 3 models but still undecided. please recommend a better model if any.
do i need to buy extra lens kit? i am really2 at the entry level of dslr world. TQ in advance.

A580 is technically better than all this stated. A55 also not bad, smaller in size. Sony's camera quite easy to use. If nikon D3100 also not bad. High iso performance win 550D but lose out to the sony.

550D good body with 18mpx. Overall, you go see and test out the body. Just dun get D5000 coz D5100 might come soon tongue.gif

help me, still undecided n confuse...
Type of camera/lens/accesories :  Micro Four Third or d3100
Budget: 2.5k
Your Location: Kota Bharu
Preferable brand : any brand that suit my appetite n budget

I m interested with these 4 models ..nex5,pl2, gf2 n dslr d3100.

then i notice that nex5 didnt come with carl zeiss lens n gf2 also no more leica..
i m newbie, hope the experience one tell which the BEST.

i m interested in portrait pic n traveling.

Brudder, if Nex 5 comes with Carl Zeiss, i think the price would increase dunno how many fold lol.

Nex 5 is not a micro 4/3 btw, it has an aps-c format sensor lol. It makes it level or even better than the D3100.

If you want dslr, you can look into sony a55 also. Good image quality and quite small and compact.

D3100 is decent too, but you will get frustrated perhaps due to the lack of motor inside.

by looking at your post it's clear that you don't know what do you want. well that's maybe my interception only. good if you have some1 to experience to help you decide.

Why I am asking you that?
it's because
AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED
and
AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR
serve differently.

I can't help you decide nor lowyat forumers here, because it depends on your shooting preference.

Just let it go lol. Rather than you penning down a long respond to another that does not help in anything. Simple. biggrin.gif

I am very new to DSLR photography. Recently used D40 and D60 DSLRs for my bro's wedding. good pictures. Thinking of buying an entry level DSLR for myself. Any suggestion? The cheapest and best value DSLR is required.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : about RM2500 including lens (prefer in one package/kit)
Your Location : Seremban
Preferable brand : Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : all sorts of things.. main family photos during holidays
Any specific models in mind? : Have used D40 and D60.. seen D3100, 550D
Any specific features u want? : user friendly, excellent pictures, multiple shots, not very heavy as wife also will be using the camera, builtin flash... so noobie that i cant think anymore else

Thanks

D3100. 550D. Sony A55. All this 3 got. In terms of size, A55 and D3100 should be similar, plus minus. 550D is bigger slightly.

All this 3 fits your requirements.

hi there,

need your advice..

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : not more than RM3500 including kitlens
Your Location : KL/PJ
Preferable brand : Canon
Type of photography u want to do : interested in Landscape, Street & Macro Photography
Any specific models in mind? : EOS 600D and 60D

I am new in DSLR. Never have any DSLR before. Even i never touch any DSLR before this month. Suddenly got interested with photography using dslr.
initially interested with nikon d3100, suitable for beginners, but my friend (nikonian) said it's features is too basic.
d7000 is too expensive for me.
changed my mind to get canon.
recommended by my friend (canonian) 550d is good for beginners, 60d more advance.
but this month new model 600d released in market.

after go visit some camera shops in KL/PJ.. i found that 600d and 60d only difference in several hundreds of RM..
and if i take 600d + 18-135 kitlens.. i can get 60d + 18-55 kitlens with about same price.

which one should i choose? the best feature of both dslr is both have vari-angle (swivel) lcd..
*
Which one that suites your hands most? Then if you don't mind the difference, 60D and 600D is nearly similar.

But if you do bother about tech specs and etc, A55/A580 for sony has better image performance, quoted from DxO website review. So you might have other choice.

Overall, if 60D or 600D, I rather go 60D.

D7000 la.... I would rate the D7000 over the 60D due to its newer and slightly better designs, functions and etc. But then again, people might disagree. Choose what you think is nice lol.
