PEN mini quite user friendly. got AUTO mode to save the day or you learn slowly the PASM adjustments
myself i am PEN user. indoor can get quite a clean shot & outdoor definitely no problem.

the best is you can invest lens for different occasions & plenty of accessories to match with.
but bear in mind EPM1 is not latest model

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Advanced point-and-shoot //OR// compact system camera
Budget: RM2000 or less
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : Not Samsung
Type of photography u want to do : Macro; all purpose
Any specific models in mind? : For PnS: Pentax MX-1; for CSC: Oly EPM2
Any specific features u want? : Extensive and easy to reach manual control

Always liked playing with all the settings using my friends' DSLR, but not liking the bulk with it. Still not sure if I want to bother with lenses, that's why I'm still thinking about just getting a semipro PnS. Will mostly want to shoot model kits, but would like to be able to use for general walking around photos. Won't consider myself an amateur, still learning.

Looking at some earlier post, my needs seem to match blissmk's pretty closely.

Hi

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Advanced Point and Shoot
Budget: RM 2000 MAX
Your Location: Penang.
Preferable brand : Canon. Other brand also ok for me.
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape, Portrait,
Any specific models in mind? : Struggle between G1x, G16, G15
Any specific features u want? : Taking moving object like swimming fishes in the aquarium. My current Canon S100 doesn't take quite good picture when comes to moving object. And once in a while Macro.

Ps. Touch screen or non touch screen is ok for me. Screen can turn in turn out also won't border me. Battery life also not my concern. I have 5 spare battery for my current Canon S100.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Prime Lens
Budget: Max rm 2000
Your Location: Subang Jaya
Preferable brand : Canon
Type of photography u want to do : Street photograhy, indoors
Any specific models in mind? : Sigma 30mm f1.4 or nifty fifty Canon 50mm f1.8
Any specific features u want? : I want something that is fast, an on the go lens for street photography. I'm using a 60d which is crop sensored. I am afraid the 50mm is too narrow for street photography and not fast enough. Do you think that extra rm1x00 difference is worth it? Where to get it ?

Thanks in advance. Have a great day.

Night scenery?

Here's what you NEED.

1) Entry level or mid range body.

Canon 650D/700D for about RM2k or a Nikon D5200 or an older D7000 body (please go hunt for prices and report back here)

A 2nd hand Canon 60D is also awesome, goes for about RM2-2.2k or so.

2) Decent tripod

Look at around RM200-500 depending on budget. What you need to look out for is a stable tripod with easy to use ballhead. I like the Manfrotto 496RC2 ballhead which goes for RM200-300

3) Optional- wireless/wired remote trigger [RM50-100]

4) Choice of lenses

For landscape, you can just use a standard kit lens or you can go ultra wide by getting a Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 for about RM1.5k new, Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 for RM2k+ or the Canon 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 USM

For shooting macro, you can get the budget Tamron SP90mm f/2.8 for less than RM1k. Pretty good for the price!

Last but not least, getting a DSLR is not just about clicking the shutter button. There's quite a steep learning curve so expect yourself to be reading up articles online to know the triangle exposure: Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.

Good luck!

Thanks -kytz-, it really help!

Regarding the night scenery, sometimes the place a bit dark and after captured, the photo show like yellowish, like a lot distortion in the picture, I recalled this is one of the criteria she complained..may be bcoz of flash..just a rough guess

another question, if 2nd hand camera have SC 10k, is that means the camera have captured 10k time? what will happen if SC too much? what is the ideal case for 2nd camera?

D7000 still selling? I know 7100 selling around 5k if not mistaken, which is over my budget

Could you please share the different between D5200 vs D7000 vs D7100, in case you have idea on these ?
