which small pocket u are referring?

the front pocket, which can put ip0rn, ip0d, some note pad, and keys.

are you guys talking about this?

Anyone in wppm today?

Guys, are there any rumors of upcoming DSLRs?

I'm considering the D5100 for now. Will there be a D5200 around the corner?

I'm very new so I'm open to all suggestions and opinions, please do. Thanks

no rumor of D5200 since 5100 just launch this year... hmmm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of...on_DSLR_cameras

you can refer this time line and estimate D5200 release date.

I suppose I should just go for the D5100 XD
Based on the time line, it seems to refurbish in 2 years time, hopefully it's accurate.

I won't regret this right?
Will it be very heavy?

I was kinda worried about bringing it around since it's kinda heavy and bulky.

I'm either leaning to this model or the Lumix GF3 or Olympus PEN E-P3 which are m4/3.

It's just hard to decide

go berjaya times square nikon center or KLCC to play D5100. for me it is too small to grip lol...get used with DSLR liao

i think chances of D5100 successor launching is close to nil next year... due to the flood in Thailand... might not even appear until late 2013.... (also check prices b4 u buy, some shop mite jack up prices due to supply shortage)

go to a shop and ask to try out the cameras b4 u make a decision... weight is a subjective criteria... btw.. a good camera bag helps alot too

Ya, I will do that the next weekend when I decide to head down to KL

What is too small to grip? A m4/3 you mean?

Lol, you're quite right, let's hope that the timeline is accurate whereby a newer model will be released in 2 years time.

I last checked that the price of a D5100 is around RM2.5k, is that the price range?

Speaking about bag, I'd have to source for one too, so many things to check out =.=

I think ur trying to say replace, refurbish means fix.

IMHO, the learner to enthusiast range of DSLR are not that heavy and the range of lens u will be using for these DSLR will be relatively light. So, don't worry bout weight till u think u are a serious enthusiast that considering to turn pro

Why not just get PnS then? really depends on what ur purpose tho... If u wanna learn photography with DSLR then u shouldn't complaint bout carrying them.

I'm either leaning to this model or the Lumix GF3 or Olympus PEN E-P3 which are m4/3.
From here, I can tell u definitely assure that u "want" a DSLR but "need" a PnS. Get a PnS mate

speaking about heavy..u should go try D3X with 600mm LOL

Hey I kinda behind on whats going on with the bags. So which 1 are u up to right now?

i waiting lowepro malaysia release pro messenger series lor since the email they said is around next month to release, and the Sg one, the cathay photo is same company with the malaysia so it is pointless i send email to SG side lol

You almost read my mind but I was actually indecisive XD

I'm planning to share this with my girlfriend, that's why I don't know whether I should go for m4/3 or a DSLR

But like what you said, if I wanna learn about DSLRs, I shouldn't complain about the weight, I asked for this

PnS won't be suitable for me, I love the effects of a DSLR!

I have a friend who recommended me to purchase a 18-105mm Nikkor lens instead of going for the normal 18-55mm lens. What would be your suggestion? Would that lens be a great start for me? I don't intend to invest on lens, costly

LOL, I'm sure you mean that it's much more heavier.. Fine fine, I won't whine about the weight.. Around 500g seems good enough already actually

if it's heavy you can weight lift with it

I like my DSLRs heavy. It feels really secure to have something heavy in my hand. It's far from practical but still, it's really enjoying to see people struggle holding it after handing it to them haha

D5100 isn't heavy. Don't worry.

D5100 Weight (without battery, memory card or body cap) is 509g XD

wah i duno 24-70 is 900g...
