I think the price is around 1.5k please do check it on LYP.

Leica M series? I am not sure about this1 tough. since I didn't own it

I wanna ask, I am stuck between compact interchangeable lens camera like gf2 nex5 and some entry level dslr like d3100 or Sony a33. The thing I love about those gf2 camera is tat they are compact enuf to bring around. But I scare I will have to sacrifice alot of image quality for it.

NEX 5 is comparable to A33's performance, only lesser lens support for it lol.

Compact interchangeable cant really match DSLR but it can perform almost similar to it.

I see, how about can they compare to those entry level dslr like d3100? So hard to choose becos I am buying my 1st camera..

Frankly, I feel that A33 pawns D3100 in terms of specs sheet and performance. But then again, you can't simply go to a conclusion like that.

I prefer the A33 over the D3100 based on my own preference la. Others maybe prefer D3100.

hi,

if i buy a new Canon 550D body + 18200 tamron lens is it worth to buy?

Might as well get 18-55 n 55-250 instead of 18-200.

I heard 18-200 lacks IQ, despite more convenient all around travel lens.

If you intend to buy 18-200mm, why not consider tamron 18-270mm?

I prefer D3100.

can as well consider D3100/any other model + 18 200 Nikkor. <- I bet a way better compare to Tamron

I am not buying 18-200. He's buying it XP
And 18-270 is quite soft from 200 onwards.

550D alone would've been better for D3100

Unless you wanna go Sony, 550D any given day is better than D3100. With 18-55 n 55-250, it would be awesome too.

guys, have decided to get a DSLR, even more poison seeing few frenz took out theirs during CNY... since its my 1st buy, i m thinking of getting Canon 60D with 18-200mm lens.. is this combo good? where can i get a good deal m'sia, Singapore or Hong Kong? any other accessories recommended?

Do u need a canon 60D in the first place? Why not go for Canon 550D and spend the rest on more proper lens? When i tell ppl i have EF-S lens they will say they use it as paper weight haha

First what type of photos u like to take?

U should watch this video to have a better understanding the difference between Canon 550D, 60D or 7D

that's a great combo. easy to carry around 1 allrounder lens and buy the 50mm 1.8 too. bokeh lens. from there u can start learn slow2 aledi

awww.. don't be like that lar bro..
I found out 550D ISO performance is worse to D3100.
yesterday test it out with my friend 550D, I guess it's because the sensor size.

come la jump ship to nikon hahaha..
just my 50 dollars tough

if you are videographer go for 60D.
else go for 7D, budget problem? 550D.
else 1000D will serve you right as well.

Nvm. Shall not feed the troll

Btw, get 60D dun get 18-200. Might as well get kitty 18-55 n 55-250 n 50 f1.8 XP Most people like this combo much. Unless you can afford L's la then that's another story.

If not, 550D with such lens would be an awesome learning curve as well lol.

Photographing is not how expensive your tools are but how creative and skill you are as well.

This sifu take all his photos with a canon 550D
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kytz/with/5397847260/

When u think ure up to another standard considering a better body is not too late. Like the video i posted above cheap body + pro lens = ownage

If u are new to photography best i recommend get 550D at least comes with video recording as well. No point get mid class then few months later sell. Most important are the lens

I see kytz's name~! Lol.

Those shots are taken with 50mm, if I am not mistaken ....

550D's awesome lol. 60D's better with the articulating screen and videography, but if you hardly use video like me, maybe the 550D would be better.

He sifu ma. Haha u see his photos quite nice even from canon 550D somemore with 50mm F/1.8 lens only.

Honestly i hardly use the articulating screen at direct sunlight u cant see anything on the screen hahaha.

I see alot ppl as beginner straight go for canon 60D already.
