I tried canon s95 before was quite impress with the quality for s point and shoot camera and it's within your budget

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?

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

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

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.

haha yeap or over the crowd or certain angle. Maybe spy cam to use along corridor many benefits haha. Ill go for 60D for the 5.3fps take alot movement thingie. 550D 3.7fps too slow di

+1 Lately u go everywhere alot of ppl using DSLR but when they post their photo its abit you know. Its best u learn the basic and if u think ure up for it then only upgrade. DSLR investment is not cheap in long run

I suggest try to learn more about photography before venturing into DSLR. Or else u end up coming out alot of money and disappointed of the quality. Maybe try it at the shop or hangout with some friends with DSLR. Play with it learn it then if u think u are serious only get it.

If u notice these days everyone carry DSLR and many lens but how many looks great?. I not criticizing anyone but to make u understand its like u buy a Skyline R35 but u take it to drive to work. The car is abit big for parking and too long to overtake sometimes. Question is do u really need it? It does look good petrol also makan faster. The car have tons of features but u hardly use it.

DSLR without proper lens cant take macro , cant zoom far , lack of quality sometimes. So why not learn from a friend? if your friend suggest u to get D90 or D3100 ask them to let u play around it to see whether u will like it?

Like macro ? low light ,portrait , landscape? Then only decide. Not too late?

For beginner I suggest u go for 600d

get a longer zoom lens maybe 18-135 or 18-200 so u can cover most shots without upgrades

depends how much you want to invest in DSLR

normal kit zoom lens cost lens but quality also you know haha

good zoom lens cost alot and u know the quality sure amazing.haha

If u are not planning to upgrade then d3100 is sufficient and get a long zoom lens maybe 18-200 or tamron 18-270

Added on April 11, 2011, 3:30 pmFor me I recommend to go for the lens because lens is the one that makes the biggest difference.

1100d only camera but if u wan video recording then go for 550d.

I have proven many times to people it's not about how much your gadget cost but how u take it. There some photo I took with mobile phone he go show to his friend so called professional dslr and he said it's impossible to take with a mobile phone. I show him the exif then he keep quiet di.

Because the paper they use? Or can u show us some sample maybe we can assist u to see what wrong with it?

logically of course highest ISO is interesting. What da point having so good touchscreen phone if it doesnt give u the best in photography?
