what "filter" u wanted ?
probably fine with kit lens , the get a flashgun XD

550D is a nice choice , should be below rm3k for the kit , just not sure for the filter u needed ..... if UV filter i think cheapo one as protection / dun use at all (degrading IQ)...
as those original hoya is rm100+ (if it is cheaper high possibility it is fake) , so may go over budget ....

as for memory card .... try to opt for sandisk lor

since u doing landscape , probably should nego for a tripod too (cheap / expensive lil different as u are still beginner ) .... if u can't , u will wan to put it in the list too

you can try YL @pudu plaze / J-one @ Amcorp mall ....
you can find some people in forum recommending some reputable shop around , just try using the search function ....

if you doing portrait , should really get a flash / a cheap 50mm prime =p
well that is future upgrade after u familiar with the function ...

PS : u can use shasaki.com as referencing , you can imagine around few hundred cheaper than it shown on the site , if it is more , 80% of the time u getting "slaughter"

( be careful for those filter , some say they offer u low price , but slaughter u when u buy those filter )

erm , how bout giving extra info like what your father gear are ? ..... help to give more accurate answer ....


they u need to find your others point to support 60D ... ISO performance , sensor , weight , video , etc ...

as for the LCD .... i love the live view a LOT more than LCD ... just for reviewing is fine .... unless u always take bird eye view / low angle shot / video , then u may like the LCD (it is more like a bonus feature )

(that why dun really fancy a33 / a55 ) , oh a note to A33 /A55 ... i am not sure if it is just my friend ..... but the battery drain faster i guess .... may b due to the LCD view finder

photography style ? thinking of changing lens next time ?

my opinion always lean to nikon / canon ..... not so niche market , easier to get deal around .....

erm , sorry if i offended u in anyway

may b it just occur to my friend that his camera battery drain off fast , just trying to mention that , since it is a EVIL ... i may drain more battery , erm get the point ?
after some Google-ing seem some a33 user experience fast battery drain , may be just minority , not sure ...

as for LCD , if u refer to the post before , i was meaning the "swivel" LCD of 60D for live view , sorry if it cause misunderstanding
