but the price is sooooooo expensive! sked me boss bite me when she see the price tag...

then what should i get?

tel ur lady boss... she will look prettier if her picture is taken with 5D mk3 than using 7D... lol
If you don want to go for such expensive one, u can get 7D. but you need so much AF and the speed of 7D?
let's say u don need, then u further downgrade to 60D... but the difference between 600D and 60D is not that much... then u further drop down... haha... sorry to further confuse you.
if you are talking about canon, that's more or less the story. Just get what you need is ok already. not necessary full frame.

A few post ago.. I posted that my company admin guy's company camera is just a 500D + 18-55 kit + 430ex. Frankly... In the context of this usage pattern... It enuf to getthe job done. Image wise no difference until u go fullframe. Its not like ur go creative and gonna shoot bokeh dreamy portrait of ur lady boss like some bikini model right?

Oh.. and I just came across this vid which should provide a more illustrative example on why telephoto is used for portrait

what i know is that 5D mark 2 can record outstanding videos.. but the price a bit on the high side, leaving small rooms for more lenses..

still thinking coz a friend of mine suggested Nikon over Canon... hehehe

pening-pening

thanks for sharing the video sniper!

Thanks,
Kai

For Sony, A57/A65.
For Canon, 600D.
For Nikon, 5100D.
If you shoot video more, I personally think Sony is a better choice. But if just still image, any of those can do a great job for you.

Best compact camera that can take good picture & video? Rm500 budget

Type of camera/lens/accessories : Compact
Budget : RM1800
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Any or any recommendation?
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Human picture
Any specific models in mind? :Olympus E-PM1
Any specific features u want? : I want the camera to react fast to capture the picture when i press the shoot button. This is because with my old camera(Canon IXUS), when my baby smile,i unable to capture because the old camera react slow.

Any recommendation? brand? quality wise?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Point and Shoot cameras / Prosumer cameras
Budget: Less than RM1600
Your Location: KL / Selangor
Preferable brand : Canon / Sony
Type of photography u want to do : Macro (eg. Flowers)
Any specific models in mind? : No
Any specific features u want? : Priority need Macro, mainly capturing Flowers Arrangement. Second is, shooting decorations of Flowers in showcase. Third is, casual shooting.

I don't prefer those can change the lens type, I am noob in this field.
More portable the better.

So, which Camera recommended for me ?
What important Features that I need to look at to meet my above requirement ?

Thanks.

for "Canon + fix lens + macro", you can consider G12...
i enjoy shooting macro with my G12... which is something G1X can't really work out without additional close up lens.
For Sony... I'm not too sure they have something similar to G12, as far as I can recall they have a few super zoom prosumer, which has the size of DSLR.
If compact PnS, there's nothing much I can suggest you as I have less experience to that.

Since it's a compact camera, depth of field is hardly relevant here. Focus on your baby first (green box)... hold it by half-pressing the shutter.... lepak... make funny faces and when ur baby smiles.... full click.

Type of camera/lens/accessories : Compact
Budget : RM1000
Your Location : KL

Type of camera/lens/accesories : 4/3 ILC

After your comments, I go survey a bit.

I see this Canon PowerShot S100 , is this okay for my requirement ?

My requirement are:-
Priority need Macro, mainly capturing Flowers Arrangement.
Second is, shooting decorations of Flowers in Showcase.
Third is, casual shooting.

sen Q is doing prmotion for Lumix GF-2 only 1499,
do you all think is worth getting it???
i need a camera for travel,palnned to get S100,but i see GF-2 photo much better quality

hi, which better to get d90 or d5100? d90 got build in motor but d5100 got new processor...need for personal use for travelling n famili event/party...going today...;p

if you wan more compact size, the S100 also is a good buy.
If you wan more manual control with physical dials, then G12 is easier to use.
If you won't play a lot with settings, S100 is good enough

Added on May 19, 2012, 10:30 amsince your requirement is compact + change lens...
Canon: no such product
Olympus: E-PM1 (got pink color) E-P3, E-PL3 (no pink color)
Nikon: J1 (got pink color), V1 (no pink color)

Personal preference: go for Olympus instead of Nikon... if pink color is a must, E-PM1 is your only choice.

Added on May 19, 2012, 10:40 amWith your budget range, you can consider Sony NEX-C3 (APS-C sensor, inter-changeable lens) or Olympus E-PM1.
New Sony NEX-F3 is already announced, but not sure what will be the retail price yet.
If Panasonic, you can consider GF3 which is within your budget as well.

Added on May 19, 2012, 10:41 amwhat is the lens you are getting with 1499?

Added on May 19, 2012, 10:49 ami think normally Nikon user will prefer D90 over D5100? Cos i think Nikon user are very sensitive towards the AF motor issue... correct me if I'm wrong. This is because if they already have a range of Nikon lens which do not have AF motor, then they will lose the AF function when then plug those lens into the D5100...
Anyway, judging on specs alone, seems D5100 is really a good buy (i think mainly because is is a "newer" camera). If you can live with the absence of AF-motor... why not? if not, D90 should also do the job right for you
