Anyone knows which place have the best deal for this camera.. Planning to get 1 asap.. Thanks

hi, im confusing to choose between Pentax k-5 twinlenses ot sony a580 with tamron 18-200 and sony prime 50mm 1.4. Both have relatively similar price (rm4.7k)

im not a hobbyist  or photographer, and it will be very unlikely to me to upgrade further lenses...i will just use it for potrait and landscape as i plan for many vacation in the future. i already have lx3 for my pocket camera, just need to get a DSLR to get better shot for tele and lowlight...

thanks

hi, need guide from sifu here.

i just bought canon eos 550D, but without any filter. is it necessary to put on the filter? which filter will be recommend for? there are alot of filter there, bt i was surprise with the picture quality of CIR-Polarizing Filter. is it recommended?

thanks in advance

so wht is ur suggestion

1100d?

which is a best buy...

* used 1000d + 18-55mm + Tamron AF 70-300mm

* new sony a390 or a290

* used 3000D

* new 1100D

* or canon compaq camera powershot s95

rm1.3 - rm1.4k...

did u actually shooting at that high ISO? i always looking for CANON for entry level , because nikon entry level got no built in motor , if u plan to use with KIT lens for very long term then it's ok , otherwise it will kill ur pocket money to buy built-in motor lens , which i think is not worth 

i would always looking at D90 (cheaper) or D7000 if talking about NIKON DSLR, budget not allow? then CANON 

Ya, as long as u comfort with the system, Since he is looking at canon 550d and nikon 5100, so just give out my opinion about tis two system, we don let him headache to choose if now suddenly talk sony,lumix and other right? Hehe

guys what is the best price u can get for Sony NEX-3? i found one cost RM1799 free casing, leather neckstrap and 8GB memory card.

is this camera on par with LX-5?

need new  dlsr..
im totally newbie

but my budget rm4000

any suggestion?

queenc.D90 maybe?
good features.

If u looking for nikon, increase ur budget and get d7000

For canon, rm4k can get alot of stuff already, 60D + flash gun and good to go

It better if u holding the two system and see which u feel more comfort with, i think before u get dslr, better study up what is aperture, shutter speed and iso

Type of camera/lens/accesories :  DSLR / 18-135mm or 18-200mm (Lens)
Budget: Rm4k - RM4.3k
Your Location:   KL
Preferable brand :  Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do :  From portrait to landscape, day to night
Any specific models in mind? :  currently research on Canon EOS 60D vs Nikon D7000
Any specific features u want? :  mostly on photographing than video

I have done a few reading on 60D n D7000, n whats i found out are : Source
1. 60D auto white balance is not as great as D7000
2. A lens with IS & VR (same item) is recommended..(really?)
3. from GS : 60D = RM2899 (body only), with 18-200mm = Rm4399
                    Nikon D7000 = Rm3,333 (body only), with 18-105 = rm4166
4. 60D is better in video than D7000
5. D7000 is faster in start up and continuous shooting
Doing more reading atm.....

My Q :
1. How would it be for 18-105mm vs 18-135mm vs 18-200mm lens? the higher the wider screen it can capture?
2. What kind of lens should i take if im not taking d c/w lens? (body only)
3. Juz notice both did not come wit IS, n all lens out in d market has IS feature embedded?
4. A great detail comment on both DSLR would be great o any info to read up is appreciated

Getting a mixed review from reading, hope forumer here can advice based on ur experience. TQ

Not easy to choose between the 2 (done a lot of research to choose between them too) but luckily it is easier for me coz I have a Canon Speedlite 420EX leftover from my spoilt Canon G2.  Bought them about 10 years ago.  Since I can save about RM950 (what 430EXII is selling now), it is a no brainer for me to go 60D.

Bought the 60D with 18-200mm IS (yes, the 18-200mm kit lens come with IS). No regret, great combo for my normal walkaround needs.  Just need to get a 50mm f/1.8 for indoor or low light situation.  The 50mm f/1.8 can also recycle the various 52mm filter from previous Canon G2 - some added savings too.

Anyway, even without these 2 factors, I may still buy Canon.  Heard from my wedding photograher (pro wedding event photographer) that Canon was in the lead in digicam technology over Nikon.  Dun flame me please if you prefer/using Nikon - it is just a casual remarks and the comment was made 6 years ago, Nikon may have catch up now.  And he is using Nikon btw just in case some thought he is a Canon fanboy.  Just my very personal view.

It is because u stated "wedding" inside xD

No la just kidding, 1stly canon and nikon parts like lense, flash, etc is a little bit cheaper than sony. Thats why they ask u to go with canon or nikon. For your kind or budget max 2500 if choose sony.... then later part u meleleh air liur want to buy the accessories. Sorry to all sony users, not meant to condemn but just an opinion. because i also have my eye on sony but to buy the accessory xmampu so i go for things that every1 also use haha like choosing between proton saga or fiat

back to the topic, people mostly will use canon / sony as they can change ideas and thought. ofcoz they are cheaper and affordable depends on your usage. normally once u step in dslr world, you will tend to know more, explore more and when that comes into the scenario u will need more money to buy accessories like flash etc etc.

so choose wisely ^.^

in my opinion, better go with the kit lense. Trust me u will learn a lot.

50mm is a MUST XDD

wa... thanks all for reply and remind me .... really i wanna try to go DSLR world.. but still newbie... talk seriously... i never explore the function in dslr... when brother xilerain and chiahau , explain/introduction about dslr and sony part... i going scare to go with sony... but... i find some review... they say... Sony A55 very friendly for newbie "like me" , then i find some bad review to sony a55 also... they say regarding the... overheat when recording video need off 15~20min to cool down also battery problem (just can snap 200~300 picture).... izzit this is a big problem ???

seriously with RM 2.5k in my pocket now... should i get any market DSLR such as Canon / Nikon / Sony ??? within my range of budjet RM 2k~2.5k ? or just saving to another amound like RM 3k~4k??? .... but i scare wasted there.. coz i newbie here.. buy expensive dslr camera but not/dont explore all function inside.. also wasted right ?

between this 3 model.... withone ur guy suggestion ??? 550D ? nikon 5100 or just go ahead with sony a55 ???? izzit canon EOS 600D in my budjet???

let say if i get... sony a55 (regarding the batery problem) ... its good i get spare battery ??? mean if first battery empty then just use spare battery ??? mean i can snap 600~700 picture with 2 set of battery ???

I went to Nikon website (lenses) and saw 'DX Format' and 'FX Format' . I read in the internet ppl say, you can use FX lenses on DX body, but not DX lenses on FX body as it will lower the MP.. In the nikon website, under DX format, the only prime i see is 35mm. In the FX format i see alot more like 50mm ..
If i get the D5100,is it better to get the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G (DX Format) or AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G (FX Format) ?

BTW, is there a 50mm lens under DX format that nikon did not list in their website? Just curious 

Thank You     

waa A77 out ? sure expensive more then 3k ??? ... brother u the one using a55??? nice if u say like that ... no more hesitate... i will go a55.... but what its EVF ??? ... sorry new here... may i ask from you... i saw up there ppl tell about DX and FX ??? what the defrent between >< ??? ..
