Guys, canon eos 600d or 700d is recommended for beginner?
*
600d would be a fine start. since there's like >rm500 price difference, i'd take 600d first. then u could proceed with upgrades like the 50mm 1.8 (great lens for portrait) or speedlights, or maybe get a steady tripod for long exposure landscapes.

Ok thx for the advice bro smile.gif anyway, any more DSLR that the quality is on par or better than 600D and yet price is almost same with 600D ?
*
on par with 600D --> Nikon D5100 (has better dynamic range, meaning more colours good for landscape)

hi guys,

thinking of getting myself a camera, either a DSLR or a hybrid like EOS M or Nikon J.
From what I see, it seems that the hybrids are not much different in terms of price from the DSLRs.

Which would be a better choice? And since I'm just beginning, would you recommend getting a new one or used ones are fine too?
*
im not sure if eos M is called a hybrid. anyways i'd recommend u getting either the Eos M or the Sony Nex series (nex 3n or 5n).. they both have dslr quality images bt at the same time less bulkier. Nikon 1 series are nice cameras, bt slacking behind those two..

Planning to get a 600D tomorrow. As I'm heading for Europe trip on tuesday. It's pretty hard to look for 600D's stock tho. But manage to find it haha. So am I on the right track? or should I go for 650D? and Oh ya, about the lens, 55m is enuf or go for the 135mm? Newbie here. Planning to plant a new hobby haa
*
650D has extra touch screen n some other stuffs i think.. for me i'd get 600D.. cheaper.

Hey, Im looking for a dslr for daily activities not really into taking landscape pictures just pictures of people. Im in dilemma to which dslr should I go for that will last a few years before requiring to change.

Im not into video much but I still prefer for it to be pretty and smooth.

Is it worth getting d5200 or 650/700d? I like the touch screen and tilting screen, but I kept thinking whether I'll be using it or not.

I heard Nikon d5200 produce exceptional picture but is a hassle if I want to change the lens, If im more to basic daily life picture would I need the fancy upgrade for lens and stuff?

I once used my cousin camera that will auto rotate lens, does any dslr has that feature under my price range?
*
auto rotate lens? do u mean u can auto focus it? most kit lens can do so..
recomment u either the 600d or d5100/d3200.. depending u want nikon or canon. both r good.
if cant make ur mind, red vs yellow, which u like? haha

Type of camera/lens/accesories :  DSLR
Budget: RM 2.5k - RM 3.5k (extendable to 4k if really needed)
Your Location:   KL
Preferable brand :  Canon / Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Nature, Macro 
Any specific models in mind? :  Canon 700D , 70D , Nikon D5300
Any specific features u want? :  not really coz im a newbie smile.gif

P/S : this is my first ever DSLR

hello , im planning to get a quality camera but im facing dilemma on which to choose , basically my budget is around RM3k, but i dont know which to choose , so many types and brands

DSLR or Mirrorless, I read some articles about the pros and cons on these two types , but still need some advice on this

secondly , this might be my first and only time im forking out a sum of money to get a good camera, means im not able to change new , better camera step by step according to my skill level, at least not in a near future. so i plan to get a mid-range camera that is good for beginners but also adequate when (IF) i "level up"
IF im getting DSLR, im actually looking at Canon 700D or Nikon D5300 , any advice on which one here is better ??

but the most immediate problem im facing now is that the PIKOM PC Fair is coming soon on 6 - 8 December 2013, is PC Fair selling at cheaper price ? because im thinking that if PC Fair selling at a cheaper price, im might just stick to the budget im currently having now RM3k to get an entry level camera. If its not worth going , i might wait for awhile until my bonus out then i can increase abit my budget to get the Canon 70D.... still i neeed your advice ~

another question is regarding the lens, like Canon 700D comes with a 18-55 lens, should i go for 18-135 lens kit ?

please please advice me ~ its not a cheap hobby i dont want to make mistake on investing my money ~

thank you~

kit lens cant shoot macro.. u need to have extension tubes , macro lens n etc (sry im not vy sure)
as for EOS 700D and D5300, it all depends which one u wanna go for.. d5300 1855 i think is rm2600-ish now..
not sure bout 700D. u could google the difference between a d5300 and 700d or youtube them to watch real life testing.. d5300 has gps n wifi, and 39 AF points. 700D has touch screen, body built in motor and etc..
u could consider the d7000 too.. (it was n still is a great camera)

both are great cameras.. bt if u dont need those features, u could actually buy a cheaper body, and get a better lens instead, since ur budget is lets say 3k , u could get a rm1700 dslr, buy some nice lens like canon ef 50mm 1.8 ii or the nikkor 50mm 1.8G, or 35mm 1.8g, then get some extension tubes n macro eq, u should be able to do macro soon with these. thumbup.gif

i dun think it's a lot of upgrade from d3100 to d5300 or to d7100.. if want, go to d600/d700, full frame..

or else, get urself a good lens. if u like close up, maybe tamron 90mm which can macro.
if scenery get the tokina 11-16 II.. thumbup.gif

if all rounder, the 35mm 1.8G is gooding.. bt then wait till 7th jan, they'll announce a full frame FX 35mm

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM5000 include kitlens
Your Location : US
Preferable brand : Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Night shots, take pic of night landscape stars
Any specific models in mind? : Nikon DF
Any specific features u want? : nothing specific. I just want a good camera to shoot night landscape something like this

https://cdn.tutsplus.com/photo/uploads/lega...tography/84.jpg

Currently using Canon G12. Kinda disappointed unable to capture night stars
*
U wanna shoot stars? Most dslr can do that, provided u r at the right location, where there's no light polution. Nikon Df is nt that cheap. It's at least rm7000. U could go for Sony A7? it's below rm5k including kit lens. and it's Full Frame! btw, night landscape depends more on the lens.
Ok recommendations:
Canon : Canon 60d / 70d
Nikon : Nikon D7000 / D7100
Sony : A7
