Why you need ff?

Actually is friend selling it, since he taken care well of the camera and selling price is cheap.
That's why thinking of is it worth it to sell off my 60d v tamron to get that body. Then I use 50mm on 5dm1. Sharper and better quality

Do any of u guys know what camera is suitable for me?Im wanna use it for taking pic of my shirts product..do i really need a DSLR or just Digital camera?

Bro, please advise which one your choice. Pentax KX, Pentax KR or D3100? I know Pentax KR more expensive then the other 2 but I might can try to get enough fund for it if it good. Thanks.

Hi to all sifu. I just check out Fujifilm 550 EXR and seem it very good and EXR 600 just come out replace it. Anyone know where can i get it and any review from sifu here. As seems it not a popular choice here

Type of camera/lens/accesories: Shooting Camera
Budget: RM2000 max
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand: Olympus/ Sony
Type of photography u want to do: Scenery and Potraits
Specific models in mind: Olympus Pen EP1
Specific features wanted: Produce good contrast and sharp pictures

Please help me out

my 2 sen is I won't trade off the faster AF, lens, flash support, much bigger articulated screen, liveview etc for better color depth/ DR for the 5D classic lo.

Checked out your site. You just need more even/softer lighting.

Maybe check out the pentax thread. It's somewhere within the first couple of pages.

Didn't like the F550 EXR cos too many megapixels crammed into small sensor, slow lens, quirky and slow operation.

E-P1 looks really nice but its already very dated. The sensor lacks dynamic range and noisy even at base ISO compared with say.... something like the NEX. The AF is also slow. And its gonna get expensive in terms of lens investment to match what an entry dslr can do. You'll get more bang for buck with an entry dslr + kit lens + a cheapo 50mm f1.8. But that's just technical niah... as long as you like the camera... there's always workarounds.

I dont want expensive stuff. I want a entry level dslr which meet my requirement. Basically, I think 1100D suits my requirement. Give some comment.

how about Olympus E-PL1 ? Is it good ?

Olympus used the same sensor since the E-P1 all the way until now. E-PL1 has slow AF, and lousy low resolution LCD screen.

Only the recent E-P3, E-PL3, E-PM1 have new processors for fast auto focus.

Canon 600D/Canon550D
- Great sensor
- Full HD
- Full video control
- One of the best LCD screen
- Faster burst mode

Forget about the 1100D, it lacks full HD and manual controls during video.
The AF and sensor are also subpar with 550D/600D

Also forget about the D3100, the 550D/600D generally have better sensor and LCD screen.
You should consider that D3100 lacks an internal motor, which means certain lens cannot be used with AF. Including the cheap and good Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D famous for portrait shots on the budget.

But 550D/600D is above Rm2000 leh. I just beginner level leh.

if ur budget under rm2k...
just go for canon 1100d je laa...
if u wanting suggestion for better camera's specs..
of course i will suggest to u canon 550d/600d too

for me...there is no term for beginner level camera...
if u have big budget...there is no wrong if u want to buy canon 600d, nikon d90 or so on...

But 3100D got 1080p 24 fps. ShiT~~~~ How to choose!
