alright.
thanks friend..

I only had a little time to play with my friend's Fujifilm's polaroid, as there is no way to "try and play" the camera without wasting the films. So no comments, sorry bro.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Compact / Simple Point n Shoot
Budget : RM500
Your Location : Kuantan
Preferable brand : Nikon or Olympus
Type of photography u want to do : Chemical Plant equipment shooting
Any specific models in mind? : I'm a noob...
Any specific features u want? : Preferably tough camera which can stand high heat for a short time (during shooting) & can stand slightly rough handling. Camera design is not an issue as long as it's tough.

BUDGET 1k plus below 2k
NIKON & CANON 2ND HAND
FOR A SUPER DUPER DUMB BEGINNER
KL ; please advice masters....

You should be able to get a 2nd hand D90 but not sure whether it has a lens or not. Some are selling only with body.

isit cheki type? i thought polaroid camera is something where you click and i print out the moment you snap no?

erm, i personally fancy canon. but from your knowledge, would it be able to get a 2nd hand item with the kit lens .. super low budget.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM2500 MAX less is better
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape and Macro Shots
Any specific models in mind? : D90(second hand) or D5100 New


I'm in a loop regarding these 2 models. Some of my friends recommend the D90 some D5100. Actually I'm more inclined towards the D90 as they average out around Rm2k for a 2nd hand kit. The kit lens is good 18-105mm and it comes the AF motor.

While the D5100 is a newer model, HD video recording, and flippable LCD, but no AF motor. I'm concerned about picture quality and also the lens compatibility. I'm afraid that it would be expensive to buy lens with build in AF.


Lens that i'm planning to get, Wide Angle, and macro lens.

Personally i'm more inclined towards the D90 but is the D5100 a better choice?

Classic question of New vs Old.

between nikon 1 & sony nex, which one is the best?

Get the D90 or you will still thinking of upgrading after you get the D5100.

Added on January 1, 2012, 4:06 pmIf you are only comparing both Nikon 1 and Sony NEX, I would say that NEX is way better in image quality and MUCH cheaper. It worth every bucks. Nikon 1 will only give you "fast AF" which I believe it's not a very important element. If you are concerned about the AF speed, get DSLR instead. Nikon 1's image quality will not withstand NEX's quality AT ALL. And Nikon 1 is just way too overpriced.

So assuming that i'm getting a second hand D90, what should i check for? How much shutter count is considered as "low" and worth it to buy? :thanks:

To be honest, shutter count is just a guideline and it doesn't estimate the left lifespan very accurately. If the shutter count is less than 1000, then it should be very new. But expect 10k and above to be normal.

Checking the appearance is also very basic but yet important thing to do so that you know whether it had been dropped or not.

Yea I also thought it's click and print only. But my friend told me apparently there is one type like hybrid with digital camera.. So you can actually view the photos like a digital camera and choose which to print out as polaroid..

hmm, I'm not sure on the availability of such camera. I only know 2 types; polaroid & digital lomo camera-

perhaps you can head to this lomography shop and scout for the item with such function.

http://www.theclickshop.net/
possess a shop in ss2 & pavilion

from what those lomography people told me, polaroid & film camera do not need much maintenance
all films eventually possess expiry date, usually for years. at least a year or two. it is stated.

for lomography, photographer usually prefer expired film because it will enhance the lomo-feel of the picture
just my 2cents knowledge of film/dummy camera.

thanks for your input

btw do u have any other recommendation for DSLR? (budget around 2.5k + beginner)

What kind of photography you do the most? And what is your requirement.

landscape and portait...no specific requirement as I'm newbie.
