Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget : Around 2.5k
Your Location : Cheras, Bangi, Kajang and around KL
Preferable brand : Nikon or Sony
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape, night landscape, lowlight, video etc
Any specific models in mind? : Nikon D90, Nikon D5100, Canon 600D

Ok here's my case. I planning to buy new camera. My dilemma is, my friend want to sell his Nikon D90 camera to me for RM2.5k (maybe i can push the price until RM2.3k). He bought that camera on Jan 2011 so no more warranty. The question is should i buy that camera or just go to new Nikon D5100 & Canon 600D option? The seller is my friend so i'm sure the quality is still good. I know Nikon D90 is old model. Which is why i'm in dilemma whether should spend that amount of money to old camera or not. Please help any sifu here icon_question.gif

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. sweat.gif

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

Wahaha and the waiting begins biggrin.gif

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. biggrin.gif

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.

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

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.
