Hi hope someone will reply. I don't have a big budget so I have to settle for a 2nd hand dslr camera. Can someone recommend me a good dslr camera brand that can easily be found in garage sale. Budget rm500...

I think the budget too little.. Lens also not enough

So are you familiar with wedding photography if not normal photography ?
Because even a 1Ds mk3 with all the L lens in the world wouldn't help you if you do not have the experience/skills.

Even if you're having that friend to teach you... you should at least have a reasonable amount of experience before taking wedding pictures.

But If I have to recommend something for around 7k,
It'll be a 60D along with a fast prime (Canon/Sigma 50mm f/1.4, Sigma 30mm f/1.4), fast tele prime(Canon 85mm f/1.8), Fast normal zoom(Tamron 17-50 f/2.8) and a good flash(580EXII or a Nissin Di622 II at the very least).

Oh, and lotsa photography classes

However your image quality will suffer and most advance compacts will probably trump it in image quality.

Added on September 14, 2011, 12:51 amCanon 16-35 f/2.8 II USM L is a pretty good lens for landscape photography if you want something wide and fun(a bit of distortion at it's widest angle).
The Canon 24-105 f/4 IS USM L is another good kit lens for landscape photography.

On Nikon side, the 14-24mm f/2.8 is the widest fast rectilinear zoom lens which can be helpful for landscape photography.

Is there any good and cheap camera <RM1k
That can take underwater shots? I won't be going too deep I think.. just need decent water resistant..

The camera have to be decent at least.. Not a toy..

Sony DSC-TX10

or Panasonic DMC-FT3 (water proof, not sure if can use it underwater)

Both of it cost around 1.2k.. hmm nevermind then just enjoy my time underwater

If you already have a point and shoot... just buy a dicapac for it lo.
