Really?

Which shop recommended? Then maybe I will get it b4 CNY

I have no recommendation store tough. they all money minded beware.
all you need to keep on your mind is the price range is RM 1950-1999 don't go for more than that. You will get all the freebies. + don't buy any weird converter or lens whatsoever on your first purchase of DSLR the seller will usually tell you a lot of bullshit which eventually you will pay a hell lot of money for useless stuffs. (Like what I did)

Ask him to get D7000 with's within your budget. and you will get AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm as your kit lens

Ooops... I wrote wrong on the price
It's RM2000-3000

Ask him to go for D3100 and 1855 instead it is better compared to D5000

Go for d90 for long term built in motor body and d3100 for short term because no motor body built in

d90= can use practically any lenses with AF

d3100= limited to the built in motor lens only that can use AF

both are great camera but maybe I vouch for d90 for its features and whatnot

Budget : <RM2000
Your Location : Currently KL. Going back Kuching on CNY. den after CNY KL.
Preferable brand : Any
Type of photography u want to do : Portrait + landscape + outdoor types.
Any specific models in mind? : Canon 1000D. Nikon D3100. Sony A380
Any specific features u want? : Just want it to be handy to bring around. Takes good pictures.

Beginner level.

I have a few friends( CANON users). The most pro among them advised me for canon 1000D and also asked me to look into Sony. Doesnt recommend Nikon for dono what reason. So yeah.

For 2k budget the best option is D3100.

If they are good friends of yours [that they let you play with their lenses] then I guess 1000d is a good choice since you can play2 with various lenses but if they are not... then nikon d3100

Alright here's the thing. My friends are really against Nikon. I don't question his skill in photography though. He won a canon EOS 400D in one photography competition before. But, i want to know what Canon users out there think about Nikon. Is it because he's a Canon user that's why he has this biased feelin towards NIkon?

Lx-5 or GF1 better?

This is coming from a DSLR that don't even have AF motor built in and saying Sony's DSLR sucks? Clearly fanboyism right?

Comparing D3100 and A33 at both range, A33 is slightly more superior than D3100 in few aspects.

Anyway, I don't believe in brands. If you can take awesome picture on Nikon, so can you with Canon and Sony. Camera is just a tool for the person.

Now now... what's with that generalization? It's misleading and there's no clear basis to what you said. "A man's meat may be another man's poison"

I've been hearing this for quite some time now. Kindly name them out

Nice to know you are feeling helpful.

Fanboyism is everywhere bro..
Not sure why he didn't advice you for nikon. but here is the thing.
IF and ONLY IF your friend allow you to do lens swapping I suggest you to grab the same brand as your friends did.
this is an advantage as you don't have to spend a hell lot of money to test a lens. HOWEVER if he doesn't allow you to do lens swapping.
just follow your intention bro. it doesn't matter what ever thing you choose since all of your consideration is an entry level model. which will serve you very good for beginner.
NIKON, CANON, SONY, SAMSUNG, PENTAX it doesn't matter. However please do consider lens availability in the market.

and yeah again for <2k DSLR model camera D3100 is the best deal you can find in the market bro. good luck

Im nikon user but i see you say Sony Suck , so im here to help Sony . Tell me how suck is Sony? Can you explain to me in details? Sony is GOOD !

Is okay, Ignore him. . No need waste time on him , and we just keep give the right informations in this thread can already
