I'm not too sure about the s100 price too. The site, t-d that I normally go to doens't have it out yet. But i checked the s95, and its about RM 1130. I thought the s100 was going to come out in Sept

OT: just got myself an olympus micro 4/3 camera, still newbie and i dont know where to ask so i'll ask here. can the camera uses those dslr lenses? and also other brands' lenses on my olympus cam?

should I wait for S100??
i asked around the price from the retail said is around 1.5k-1.8k~ they also not sure.

if 1.8k. i add on another few hundred, I can get a DSLR?

Hi. Im planning to buy a m43 cam. Any Suggestions from anyone?

Type of camera: m43
Budget: <RM2k or around rm2k
Location: Puchong
Preferable brand: Pana, Sony
Type of photography: General (landscape, portraits, low light, quick action, nature..etc)
Any specific models in mind? : Pana GF2, Sony NEX series
Any specific features u want? : good quality image in low light

i think the possible retail price for s100 might be around rm1.5k to rm1.6k

Sony's not a m43. It has a DSLR sized sensor and it's not as small as those Pana series too.

If you want good quality in low light, then you are looking at the Nex series then with superior sensor size to give an advantage during low light situation.

Sorry guys!

Will recommend you Olympus XZ-1. Nothing much to say, just winning S100 in almost every aspects (especially aperture and the image quality). Price is nicer also.

Added on December 12, 2011, 6:03 pmOnly Canon EOS1100D and Nikon D3100 will meet your requirement since you prefer C/N. I'm a Sony user though and Sony has a better price/performance ratio in longer period in my opinion.

Added on December 12, 2011, 6:05 pmD3100 and D5100 won't give you much difference in my opinion. Go for the cheaper one and spend your budget in flashgun or lenses.

Added on December 12, 2011, 6:10 pmHow about a Sigma 10-20mm f3.5, Nikon 16-85mm and a Tamron 70-300 VC USD?
They end up approximately RM6000+/-

Or replace a the Sigma with a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 for a better wide? Since you listed landscape is the type of photography you do the most.

It is ok if I buy end camera.. N u hav any suGgestion what model is gut if take 2nd camera.. N what I need to consider if I take 2nd camera?

If can, ask for the shutter count. But it only gives you a guide since in most situation, shutter count doesn't guarantee the lifespan of the camera. But go for the lesser if possible.

Cosmetic appearance is also another key to see whether has it been dropped.

Warranty. Do note that unfilled warranty does not always work. There used to be cases that unfilled warranty card wasn't not accepted. Ask for a printscreen of the warranty registration website so as to see how long the warranty last.

Lastly ,ask for other accessories.

waah.. i can only spend about rm2000 for lens.. later buy some more laa:(

Opps..I thought you already own a D300 so have the budget on lenses.
Then I would recommend a Nikkor 16-85mm for your purpose. =)

Added on December 13, 2011, 1:15 amIn my humble opinion, most budgeted cameras perform almost the same. But I would also recommend a Sony W510. Maybe because I love the sweep panorama? Any A2200 is also a very good choice.

I need advice.

Canon EOS 600D 18-55mm or Sony A35Y 18-55 + 55-200MM? Which is better?
