why lor? I bet it won't be 0 lo. Unless its a sealed package la

really??????? ayoyooyoyoy

have to wait another month.......

wanna buy a camera but can't dcide.... i'm still new in this.. so i'm not prefer to dslr since still noob

Type of camera/lens/accesories : dslr or powershot
Budget: rm 4000
Your Location: kl
Preferable brand : canon
Type of photography u want to do : potrait n lanscape n movie
Any specific models in mind? : powershot sx1 is/ powershot sx30 is/ eos 550d kit II
Any specific features u want? : juz want a camera that can take nice picture n movie capture

4k is quite a budget
you can easily get the 550d with a pair of good lens
or opt for 60d with kit lens

hmm.. thanx.. but still what the difference between those 2?? i didn't understand... sorry for the question..

basically both 550d and 60d are DSLR
60d is the newer model with more features such as articulating LCD screen (i think 550d more of entry level while 60d is semi-pro/enthusiastic level

depending on what you wanna do with the camera
if you're into photography, a DSLR would be a great buy
but all you want is to take some nice picture of your friends n family, a smaller lighter point n shoot camera is recommended if you're not willing to carry the extra weight of a DSLR

oh i c.. but maybe i would juz go with the powershot since i juz want to take some picture n movie recording.. so which one do you suggest better??? or maybe u have another opinion...

Nvm, keep going...

Most of us here also patiently wait b4 we get our lovely toys...

A DSLR will give you really nice pictures only if you are willing to learn how to use it and will not depend on auto mode. But if you're not ready to take up the extra "responsibility", then a powershot would suit you best (powershot 1000HS, S95 or even the more advanced G12). It can serve as a learning platform (these models have manual mode which is similar to what a DSLR can offer) which might change your mind in the future when you're ready to go for DSLR.

Why Sony not better or same level with nikon/Canon? You are comparing something which has to different feature and functions with its pros and cons.

In terms of value vs money, A33 would prove to be better compared to 500D.

And it all depends on the photographer to be better, rather than the camera's brand.

use for 4k for d7000 I bet you wouldn't regret.
but the price for d7000 is 3.7k - 3.8k for body only if you want the kit they will give w. the price tag 4.5k
If I were you I will go for d7000 + Nikkor 50mm 1.8 the price will be 4k or 4.1k around there.
I bet you will satisfy the control given by d7000 (the best prosumer DSLR in Nikon line up *the latest technology DSLR on nikon w/ HD video recording, 2 memory card slot, magnesium aloy body (usually used in PRO body), fast burst mode, anf freaking awesome 56 focus point (CMIIW))*)
and 50mm 1.8 will give you a very good bokeh + fast focusing w/ a very cheap price ... Lol


go for 550D I friend got it for 2,4k including kit lens. for D3100.
if you are not good in bargaining you can go for 500d. but try to get 550D if you prefer Canon or d3100 if your prefer Nikon

you can, just go to lowyat and do very nicebargaining.
usually they will let their 1000d go w/ 1.4k
but for the used set 1k is enough

I suggest you d7000 or 7d its' up to you.
FYI
d7000 own the latest technology in nikon line up with makes the rest prosumer DSLR looks less interesting for customer.


Dear all,
I if you found it doubtful to buy some cheapo DSLR.
let me tell you something entry level DSLR will be always like that.
not much difference offered.
the only difference are
HD or not HD <- if you are serious in move making, and yeah it still doesn't make much difference I have friend w/ d90 which is not HD camera but produce very good video
AF body. usually Nikon doesn't give AF motor on its Entry level body (d3000, d3100, d5000) this makes your body unable to use lens without focus motor therefore you can only go for the newer lenses w/ most of them has focus motor.

lastly megapixel, ISO, etc, etc <- this doesn't make much difference
what makes much difference is your skill.
if you doubt about your camera go to http://www.mylensdb.com/explore/
and browse what kind of picture your camera produce. so you will know the lacking things is your skill not gear.

Peace..
