Want to ask...

NiKon D5100 complete with 18-55mm lens, rm1800 given used nearly one year, still have one year left...

is it ok to proceed to buy? or should i ask for lower price..

i feel like wanna try dslr for my 1st time, pls advice, thanks...

How much shutter count? And i think you can get new one for RM2k only.
You should ask for more discount. Maybe RM100-RM300 more less price.

Might want to check out on NEX F3? Not sure of the price though

How about a Olympus XZ-1?

p/s: Do check out my 2nd post on the front page

looking for cheap n nice camera backpack

but bro i want those that are waterproof leh... and my budget arnd +/- 1000 thats why i listed those 3 models... just want to know which is the best buy amongst those 3..

I am looking for a user-friendly camera..coz I am not really pro just a beginner.. Looking for camera thats easy to use, and good if able to capture nice night view..I have some cameras in my mind:
Canon G12, Sony NEX-5N or Panasonic Lumix GF3 ?

what is the differences between these three cameras? and what about the prices?

I'm looking for a hybrid camera, just for the option to change lens and also the different ISO setting that allow clear and semi-en photos

I'm currently looking at pentax-q and fujifilm x-pro1
My budget is between 2000-3000
which one would be better?
if there any other recommendation which u think can best either one of the above please do advise

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : max. RM3000
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Anything
Type of photography u want to do : Outdoors
Any specific models in mind? : -
Any specific features u want? : Can take a lot of pictures per second?(whats the term?) and nice image quality even if taken against the bus window...

Interesting choice... cos one is a kucimiao point and shoot pretending to be something else (the Q) and the other is a high image quality but riddled with quirk camera thats targeted towards experienced shooters (the fuji.. and its waaay out of the 2-3K budget wor)

I think you meant a fast burst speed.

Having said that, any camera shooting over glass especially one from the dirty bus window also will suffer.

You're using that to shoot out of a tour bus? for travel?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : mirros ASP-C
Budget: RM3000

Then you're looking at sony alpha's... since only sony have sweep panorama. They work only in jpeg though

looking into it..nex-7 cost a lot, nex-5 don have viewfinder.. sigh

You want mirrorless issit?

Like that lagi is Sony la... since they're the only one besides Samsung (not so good) and Pentax K (look like colorful lunchbox) that makes aps-c mirrorless.

Anyway... you can always get the external electronic viewfinder for the 5N later on when got budget.

Type of camera/lens/accesories :  DSLR
Budget: RM3k+- with kitlens
Your Location:  KL
Preferable brand :  Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Mainly for Video, since brother has D90 for photo. Landscape 
Any specific models in mind? :  D650 or D60
Any specific features u want? :  Any feature that aids video capturing.

I'm new to DSLRs and looking forward to buy one mainly for videography. Don't really need to be fully user friendly. I have been looking at Canon models, specially the D650 and D60 as I heard quite good reviews on them, but I don't know which to choose between(or even if there is a better one within the budget range that sifus here can recommend )

I've checked on the canon website and there are a few things that the D650 wins over D60, but I'm not sure if it matters. Hope to get some advise

I think you meant 60D and 650D.

To keep it short... advantage for 60D is the grip is more suitable for bigger hands, top LCD display, bigger viewfinder etc. But that's more for photos.

650D for video can do everything that the 60D does and in addition, can autofocus for video (though its still slow even with the new STM lens so not suitable for running and gunning)

Type of camera/lens/accesories : compact
Budget: RM1300
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : canon or nikon
Type of photography u want to do : some normal photograhy, travelling
Any specific models in mind? : Nikon P310
Any specific features u want? : HD recording

Ah yes, 650D and 60D, sorry about that. Was pretty blur

What do they stand out from? They are pretty much the same apart from the things you mentioned about the 60D for photography. Or are you saying that the 60D is a good camera for Photo and Video, while the 650D shines on the Video part only by comparing the two?

Also, I heard 60D is launched pretty long ago, which I have no idea when. That kind of concerns me as I have no idea when the 70D(or so) launches I know it's a bad mentality to have, but is there a (an estimated) release date for the 60D successor?

Rumor has it that 70D is going to consolidate both the 60D and 7D models so I think can expect it won't be cheap.

Nevertheless, I think you already know that 550D, 600D, 650D and 60D all offers the same image quality (heck.. the never cameras could even have better jpegs) so the difference between them are just conveniences like swivel screen, viewfinder, top LCD etc. None of these camera body can do something that another cannot do.

If I were to start all over again... with that 3K+ budget.. I'll think of what lens to get first... then only think about body.

In my case..I'll go with a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 + 600D even if one of it is second hand.
