Undecided to buy compact or entry level DSLR.  Budget Rm2500.  Purpose : to take my kids photos.  Want fast capturing speed (do you call that shuttle speed?) as kids can't stay still. 

Was actually thinking of canon 600d since it won best entry level DSLR but not sure if i want to lug a DSLR out with the kids - bulky and heavy.  Compact may be more practical as smaller and lighter.

Please help recommend a compact camera and DSLR suitable for my purpose.  Thanks.  smile.gif

Sony nex5n might be one of the good choices. it has 10 frame per second,Shooting photo of you active children can be done easily . Its is small and as compact as compact camera and light. you will tend to bring it anywhere bcuz of it size. However please have a look in camera shop before deciding as this is my personal preference. As for pricing guideline, rm2199 for single zoom lens(18-55) and rm2500-rm2650 for dual kit(a 16mm prime lens & a 18-55 zoom lens )

Thanks for the suggestion.  Will look it up and see if this suits me. 

If i want DLSR, which one would be recommended?

i recommend sony a65 as it has fast shutter speed,very good video function with FHD @60p. recording your kids during their childhood will be interesting. You can enjoy watching with them ltr on tongue.gif

Like sifu Zhao, I will recommend Sony for DSLR. Although I myself am highly interested in Olympus and Pentax as well. But Sony is my main choice.

But if for mirrorless sysmtem, both NEX and m43 will be my recommendation.  biggrin.gif

lol paiseh me no sifu. me is newfag.... I m interested in nex and m43 aswell biggrin.gif

Just checking real quick here, anyone knows what to check for when purchasing a used DSLR?

What signs of damage/wear and tear/ and stuff like that for me to look out for?
*
1.Try shake around see got sound anot.
2.See got any mark /scratch that is very visible(if yes,maybe dropped b4).
3.Open up battery cover and check is there any water stain(if there is any sticker by manufacture)
4.Try pressing each button,and turn the wheel(if there is any).
5.Try removing the lens and check is there any mark on the sensor.
6.Shoot a over-expose picture to see if there any problem.
7.Keep playing with it.(see owner reaction, if he looks scared ,maybe there is something he is hiding.)
8.Repeat steps 1-7 for the lulz.
9.Enjoy yourself wink.gif TEEHEE!

some may be nonsense, but heres some tips . tongue.gif

Hi, new camera user here. Some questions I need to ask:

1. Is Canon IXUS 1100 HS a good quality camera? Is the performance of the camera great?

2. Are there any better compact digital cameras than 1100 HS which costs less than RM1 300? (Any brand, better quality, at least have 10 MP, 5x zoom)
*
canon s95 / canon s100 is better than 1100HS. zoom and pixel are not really important.

Thanks in advance
*
For canon ,its 2years warranty for body/lens if register online.
For nikon ,its 1years warranty for body , 1year international for lens.
For sony ,its 1years warranty for body/lens +3month if register online. A genuine sticker is found on the box.
