i still say go for the D50. or if u are worried that you will suddenly lose interest, get a 2d hand film slr since film stuff dont depreciate in value as quickly as digital bodies (that way u can sell it off at around the same price u got it for!)

yesterday i wen to this shop called key color in mid valley.The d50 kit alone is rm2800 and if buy package is rm3199. which include:
1GB SD Card
Large nikon camera bag
Small camera case
Screen protector
Tripod
Additional compatible 3rd party battery

however since my mom is sponsoring..she is not in favor of the 2 camera bags and the tripod bcoz i have a backpack(quite large) and the tripod not really necessary. but the seller said cant seperate all the accesories bcoz all come in 1 package. wht i want to know is it is necessary to buy the camera bags? the tripod dont know is it good quality or not. eh how much does a normal quality tripod cost?

well the camera bags and the tripods will definitely be the cheapo variety. a good tripod is a must (a decent manfrotto legs+head should be around RM400+). camera bags i generally find not so important, not with the amount of gear u are beginning with. fyi, i just dump my cameras into a backpack...and chuck the flash in too. tongue.gif

perhaps you can nick a used 18-70 DX from someone on the net. that lens should easily beat the 18-55. while i have no experience with the 18-55, it cant be all that bad, but i guess you'll be wanting more soon so the best budget starter would be a 18-70. dunno about u but i think that single lens should keep you occupied enough until u get some moolah for a telephoto. you probably can ditch the spare battery too.
