Any specific features u want? : can change lens..? fyi, i just sold my d90. any light camera but can perform like dslr?? Nex 5n or Nex 7.. Your budget should have no problem affording the 5n. Added on February 20, 2012, 1:12 pm QUOTE(eksk86 @ Feb 20 2012, 10:10 AM) NEX series is currently in my mind because I read alot of good reviews about it. But I would like to know around that budget (RM2k-RM2.5k), is there any other cameras that can compete with say NEX-C3 or NEX5N? In terms of sensor size and image quality, really less competition at that price range.. Unless you are adding more budget for the Fuji X1Pro, which might or might not be better than the Nex, not much competition at that price range.

Maybe will go for older models or something haha~ I hope you don't mind me asking a stupid question bro But how do you tell which macro lens to choose? How about a budget of RM6k? Manageable? Thanks in advance bro, and sorry for so many questions Noooo. G12 is about 1,5k or less. I am stating 2k+ for the new G1x Can manage for sure, just need adjust here and there lo.. Macro, maybe something like Tamron SP90 - 1500+ Add your 60D + 1855 around 3000+ Total 6k out abit if you willing to nego or compromise.

Well, go try em out at a camera store nearby. It usually helps u decide faster x1000
