I really do doubt that the D600 would be that cheap. Sadly I would like to use it as soon as possible. Anyway, based on your experience, when a new model such as D600 come out which will give the best resale value? D3100,D3200 or D7000?

iirc 60D+18-55 is around RM3.2k and D7000+18-105 is around RM3.7k

Definitely gonna be cheaper than the D700. D700 also I'm not sure whether they're still selling it or phasing it out already.

Resale value? I don't think you should be thinking about that first. Cameras get refreshed every 1-2 years depending on the model. Lower end models like the D3000/5000 series gets refreshed almost every year so value would drop when a new model is out. Higher end cameras like the D700 gets refreshed like every 3 years or so...

Ohhhh I think I get you. You're thinking of getting a cheap camera to play first, and when the D600 comes out, you'll get it?

If liddat, how about a D7000? It's pretty decent, with kit lens it's around RM3.7k iirc.

Yes basically that is what I mean. Getting some camera first and if the price of D600 is right maybe resale and buy the D600. From what I know is that the D600 is replacement for the D300 model. So I think most likely the final price will be higher than that.

Anyway I do hear good thing about D7000 for its value/performance ratio so I'm kind of considering it as well. The only thing I don't really know how fast the D7000 is going to be replaced since it is kind of like approx 2 years already. And I'm kind of noob in this industries so I don't really know much of their trend.

If I buy a macro lens for DX format can I fit it into FX format such as D600 without adapter?

And also what is the timeframe lag between US release and Malaysian release date of new camera?

There is a rumor new D7000 replacement might come out this year.
If you not in rush, maybe you can wait. I'm also in dilemma to buy D7000 or just wait.

Afaik you cannot use DX lenses on FX format cameras. About the adapter I'm not sure but most likely you'll lose auto focus capability.

Btw, the rumoured D600 has no motor. Meaning you have to pair lenses that have motor in it like the Nikon G lenses for eg: 35f/1.8G to be able to use AF

Anyway, if it's true new Nikon D600 come out this year with price around RM4k+, did it come with kit lens or just body?
If with kit lens, i guess it gonna automatically pressure Nikon D7000 to reduce the price right.

What is the model for D7000 replacement? I can't find it. But from their usual cycle most likely at the end of this year or early next should have a replacement coming out.

The latest rumor and leaked photo shows that they have a motor. The only thing hard to belief is the price that is lower than the one they are suppose to replace, the Nikon D300. Unless the D600 is replacing the D7000. Who knows.

Not a fan of Olympus... But will consider LX3 but LX3. or LX5. better?

Ahhh do keep us updated on that

Anyway, you can also ask around in the Nikon thread

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2382044/+460

LX5 is better

But optics wise, aperture range I'd say the Olympus camera is better

Most probably Nikon D7100. But still no official announcement, just heard from other forumer/blog/site.

Hey guys need ur advice on which lens to choose..
1. Nikon 35mm f1.8G
2. Nikon 50mm f1.8G
3. Tamron 17-50 f2.8 non vc

i'm seeking a cheap lens that can be used in events and also gr8 for taking portrait photos..
Also, i would like to have nice bokeh..
fyi, my camera body has no built in motor..

So which one is more suitable?

Try Olympus XZ-1 at RM1.1k. Big f/1.8 aperture, good for low light and for capturing fast movements

How about Panasonic LX5 or Olympus XZ-1? There's also the Canon S100..

Can't get a new DSLR with RM1k. Only 2nd hand

Boleh increase budget lagi to around RM1.1k boleh tak? If not, maybe you can try to source out for a Panasonic LX3

Sony NEX series FTW but not sure which one

You should ask in the Nikon thread for better recommendations.

Anyway, just to answer your question: You'd probably have to decide yourself on whether to get a prime lens or a zoom lens.

Zoom lens- versatility
Prime lens- Image Quality, bigger aperture=shallower DOF

(generally speaking)

dont know which one to choose???



Type of camera/lens/accesories : Micro four third or Prosumer
Budget : RM 1.2K
Your Location : KLang Valley
Preferable brand : Any will do
Type of photography u want to do : everything...
Any specific models in mind? : Olym XZ-1 or Panny M4/3

Any specific features u want? : cheap & worth....

Nex 7 looks gooding with viewfinder but i can't afford it

What actually made Fuji x100 worth the price ?

Not really aware of the prices of m4/3 cameras. Really can get that cheap?

Also need to consider the lenses you might want to add on like a fast prime lens that doesn't come cheap

NEX 5N?

I don't know about the Fuji X series to be honest
