...and its under Rm2K~

"A very impressive DSLR with an excellent feature set and possibly the best high ISO performance in its class. The lack of visible AF points is a frustrating omission, but if you can live with that the K-x is a little cracker, and a bargain too." - DPReview

is there even a semi-pro DSLR under RM2000??

Here is one: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2041513 (additional RM200 for the 28-75mm f/2.8)

That is in Hong Kong... This is the price in Malaysia and its RM1750 only~ :

... if budget still not more than RM2000...

Best option to buy based on TIPA awards and DPreview assessments:

Nikon D3100 - 72%
Canon 1100D - 69%
Pentax K-x - 73%

Do your in-depth research like I did... and you will arrive with the above choice...

For entry level camera - Pentax K-x is excellent for night shots~

...and for lenses, of course you can add more lenses later be it from Pentax or other 3rd party makers (eg; Sigma, Tamron)...

...and also, Pentax lenses even from 20-30 years ago CAN BE USED with a modern day Pentax DSLR~!!

I've got 3 50mm lenses f/1.4, f/1.7 and f/2.0 (bought them all because they were cheap ) , a Pentax FA 75-320mm zoom lens, and others - some of which were made even before I was born and yet I'm happily using them right now~



Do one thing... go to the Dpreview link for pentax K-x above - go the conclusion page, scroll down, you will find the comparison tool, then switch it on, add all categories...

Try comparing the Pentax K-x with other DSLRs and see under the "Low light / high ISO performance"
... you will be amazed...



... just for fun.. try comparing the "Low light / high ISO performance" with a Nikon D3s...
(of course cannot match laa - but just see first)
