Type of camera/lens/accesories : compact/MILC/DSLR
Budget: 0-4k
Your Location: Kuantan
Preferable brand : Anything with good local support, trade value, community. Nikon?
Type of photography u want to do : In order of importance; Portrait, Macro, Landscape, wildlife, video.
Any specific models in mind? : no
Any specific features u want? : not sure how to say. but i do love good battery life and ergonomics.

so guys, basically just getting into photography. I was afraid if i just went 4k, I'll regret it. I heard that investing in lens is more worthwhile. I initially just wanted to get a prosumer, but someone pointed out it's just another step up for DSLR. Anyhow, I'd prefer the best bang for bucks camera, the rest of the money should go for lenses. I've no training in photography, shops that offers them would be a good plus, a camera with a low learning curve and decent functionality would be a home run.

thanks smile.gif

You can either get a cheaper 18-55mm or spend more on better lenses such as 16-105mm, 16-80mm and 16-50mm f2.8. But their prices will vary, can always survey around garage sales. =)

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Micro 4/3
Budget: RM 1400 - RM 1800
Your Location: Johor Bharu
Preferable brand : Panasonic
Type of photography u want to do : Product Photography, Daily Usage
Any specific models in mind? : GF2 or GF3
Any specific features u want? : Fast autofocus, 14mm lens, Manual Control

I have been jumping thoughts between the GF2 or GF3 for my girlfriend. We will soon be opening an online shawl store and I figure a Micro 4/3 is perfect for her. We are on a really tight budget and I'm wondering if both of these cameras work well under artificial lighting. From reviews online ISO 3200 is very usable.

I'm leaning more towars the GF2 since I don't really like the near buttonless GF3. I was wondering how is the touchscreen on both of these models? I'm planning tu buy a Fuji X100 for myself and does the GF2/GF3 complements the Fuji x100? As in let's say when I want to go out shooting with her, does the GF2/GF3 give as much manual freedom as the X100? I want her to learn as much about photography as possible (she's interested in it.)

GF3's m4/3 will not be the same with the APS-C sensor on X100. Sony NEX-5N does.
