Nikon D7000 or D3200(depends on ur budget, d3200 is much cheaper u can get additional lens with extra money)
or
Canon 60D or 600D (same case as above)

im not sure bout fujifilm, it's quite costly though.. if nikon, then d7k is a great one if ur budget is good. getting more lenses means more versatility.. the d3200 is also a great camera for its price. u could get an extra portrait or wide angle lens like the 35mm 1.8G or tokina 11-16 or tokina 12-24 (make sure the tokina one comes with motor or else it wont autofocus with the d3200. it will focus with d7000 though)

why not get sigma 35mm f1.4? 50 for street might be a bit tight if there're many ppl..
sigma 30mm 1.4 is just for crop sensor right? if u dun plan for FF upgrade, then it's a good option too.

that's because of the white balance. the street light makes photo yellowish..can be corrected using photoshop.
maximum life spend of a shutter unit is around 100k.. if more than 100k, need to change the shutter mechanism


nikon d3100 (but lens is not wide enough)
unless u take both used camera n lens. then u should be able to get then at around less than 2k

hi to all the sifus here.. For average use like everyday photoshooting, which one wud be better? Sony Nex-3n or Sony Nex-5t?

Hi guys/gals!

I like photography and I've been using the Canon Ixus 220 HS for a few years. Now I would like to move on to something more advanced. I've just started working recently which explains the low budget. Anyway, I would like to practise more 1st before moving on to a higher tier like the DSLR.

Can help to recommend a good camera?

get a mirrorless..(much better than advanced compact)
either canon or sony.
canon eos M
or get sony nex 3n
both around 1.3-1.4k

2 times i post, still not repons LOL

d3200 is a good camera.. it's video function also improved. dno bout sony..

Hi folks, green horn camera user here.

I love to take shots with phone but the quality of it starting to fail me - as I desire better photo quality

Therefore I went for a search on what type of camera that can fulfill my needs and I think I am into Enthusiast camera. It is cheaper but better than point & shoot - balance between $ and quality.

However, with limited info I have on hands, hope Gurus here can shed some light on the direction I am going.

Thanks.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Enthusiast Camera (in between dSLR and Point & Shoot)
Budget: <RM1k
Your Location: Northern Region of Peninsular
Preferable brand : I know only Nikon / Fuji / Sony / Canon. Not particularly like anyone of them ~
Type of photography u want to do : Mother nature / Sunset / Sky / Of course friends and families
Any specific models in mind? : Currently looking at Nikon CoolPix & Canon Powershot series
Any specific features u want? : Pocket size and fast on getting the camera ready on shots as the moment might just slip away in split second ~

* Ps: I might not be able to understand some professional terms so please if you have time explain it in more layman term. Thanks again.

With your budget.. I dont think able to get D3200.
Maybe A37 still able to. If video does matter to you, why not just get Camcoder? because DSLR wont last long for recording as I know.

average shooting... either one will do. 3n got more beginner mode for leaning..

Cheaper : Olympus E-PM1
Abit more expensive: Olympus EPL3
other option: u can go for CANON POWERSHOT S110 or s100 (both are great small compact cam)


canon s100


Sony NEX-3N Nikon mirrorless abit disappointing since sensor size too small..

Nex series are not m43. They are mirrorless aps-c sensor. m43 usually has smaller sensor compared to aps-c sized sensor which are used in dslr..
Canon Eos M is also not m43. also it is a mirrorless..

so u want m43 or mirrorless?
m43: try find Olympus E-PL5~
mirrorless, it's either EOS M or the Nex 3n~ both are less than 1.5k now..

what dslr n lenses are u using now? if u're not using any camera now, it's fine to choose either canon or nikon system.. if u dun mind bout no video capability and heavier, there's always the d700 (which has been a great cam)
if u want lightweight, there's this d610 (improved 0.5 shutter speed, changed the shutter mechanism so no more oil issue and one more thing i forgot.. i think is the white balance or something. these upgrades are quite worth it la anyways if u wanna go for a new body. new body d610 around less than 6k la.

bt if u talk bout d800, then abit headache, cz canon has this 5dm3, which are equally tempting~ haha..

btw d600 i think some units have some doesnt.. depends on luck. bt if u wanna buy new body, i recommend d610.

wide angle zoom , u need to buy additional lens.. bt the 18mm on dslr considered wide already.. not ultrawide though.
Nikon d3200, canon 600d (since 650d n 700d only has additional touch screen feature and has no difference in image quality, better get cheaper one), or sony nex3n or canon eos M~
Olympus E-PL5 is nice cam too. bt be reminded it has smaller sensor. usually bigger sensor wins.
