Any of the "entry" dslrs like Nikon's D3200, D5100 or Canon's 550D, 600D would do.

Problem is finding an equivalent for that 19-35mm within your budget cos there's none. Even the cheapest ultra wide angle also additional ~1.4K

If you can live with an electronic viewfinder ( viewfinder looks like a tiny tv screen ), then Sony's DSLT range also can consider. It's got great specs and your wife could shoot it like a point and shoot using the LCD. On the downside, lens for Sony Alpha's are not as plentiful in the used market nor is there many shops that carries a whole range.

Thanks a lot for helping us narrow down the choices.
after some googling, I theoretically conclude that;

............................ D5100.......600D......NEX-5N
build in flash*................/.............../...............X
Viewfinder**................./.............../...............X
Battery Life................660...........440............460
Stabilizer***..............lenses.......lenses........body
HDR............................./..............X.............../
Shutter Lag (fps)........237...........283............235
Lenses***.................169...........162.............8
Noise-low, ISO-hi........1st...........3rd............2nd

but the dilemma is..

* How the NEX-5N's light sensitivity could help?
** An electronic viewfinder vs LCD?
*** Pros & Cons using lens adapter?

Thanks.

- From the list.. the difference between No.1 and No.3 for ISO sensitivity is only 1/3 stop tongue.gif

- Electronic viewfinder shows the exact things that the LCD shows but it facilitates shooting with camera to the eye = more stability and can still see properly in harsh mid-day sun while LCD will be washed out.

- Most inexpensive adaptors are basically just a piece of metal so there's no electronic connection (Sony's own adaptor for Alpha lens no problem la since its electronic and the new one got build in phase detect sensor also). For old school lens with aperture ring, there's no issue but for newer lens, you can't set the aperture and cannot autofocus.

Btw.. stabilization in NEX is also on the lens.

Yeah .. checked, the stabilization in the NEX is also on the lens .. TQ!
After randomly survey to several shop in the city for the models.
With a little haggling, we managed to get the NEX-5N and D5100 both with the price rm2100 respectively.
Yes! still within budget but still confusing to choose which one.
We come back home and do a search, and more confusing..urggh!! the model SLT-A65 and K-30 come to mind.
please give your opinion about the models .. or we should ignore them.

Thanks! JasaMu Dikenang!
