D4 suits me better? hehe ok i will search and see whats the difference

plan to shoot only normal photos during holidays only...not for photography usage..coz im not a pro at all...
budget around RM 1500-RM 1700...
consider D3100 coz few shops keep recommending this camera...
not becoz it looks pro hehehe..i dont need it to looks pro hahaha

D3200 or D5100? actually main concern is the size and weight also..but budget also another problem since im not a photography pro..i dont really need a pro camera...budget only around RM 1.5k to RM 1.7k...any other ideas?

who say only pro photographer can carry pro camera?
i see got ppl with D3s, D800 also got...and they take blurry pics...zzz...

but of cos always buy something u can afford.
if between D3100, D3200 and D5100...for me its a choice between D3200 and D5100 since both are pretty similar image wise...just whether u want more megapixel so can crop more or if u want the flip-out LCD.

For D3200 and D5100, both have flip out LCD like Sony NEX F3?
yea budget is also main problem as i dont want to spend more than RM 1.7k for that hehehe....

yea not only pro photographer can carry pro camera..LOL but im ok even it doesnt looks pro...hahaha...

umm no.
D3200 got more megapixel so can crop better.
D5100 got flip-out LCD so easier to shoot movies etc.

image quality both should be almost the same.

If nt willing to spend above 1.7k, u grab the d3100..

I just search D5100 from Nikon's page, its nice with the flip-out LCD...looks nice!! Means the flip out is almost same with sony nex f3 whereby can take self potrait, right?


hmm yea, D5100 is almost 2k....see if im willing to top up RM 300 from my budget or not..hmmmm

Something I cannot afford to own =.=

technically can take self-portrait...whether u can hold it steady enough is a diff story

hahaha, yea....thats true....hmmm....really hard to decide...

or umm buy nokia 808
if u want to take holiday shots, guess DSLR is up to individuals.
for me i go holiday im not bothered to bring mine along, i carry a compact instead like canon S90 or fuji x10.

good morning T.U.D.M

Depends if you willing to carry it around. Many people thought of getting a DSLR because they think it will surely get better quality pictures, but they may end up seeing not much difference and they don't really need a DSLR, or they find it too troublesome to carry it around, take out from the where they keep it, load in the battery, etc. They end up using their camera phone more. It happens to many people, so it's better to decide whether you will be utilizing it and willing to carry it around; it's not light, it's bulky and you most probably need a camera bag, you also need to know some maintenance and care and finally the security of carrying it around.

If above is your concern and you prefer something small, light and easy to carry around, there's the Canon S95, Olympus ZX-1, Fuji X10, etc. These are really small and easily pocketable, especially the Canon S95, it's so slim and small.

Or if you want something better and don't mind the bigger size and weight but not as bad as DSLR (e.g. still can keep inside a women's hangbag (bigger ones) or with small camera pouch, you can check out those Mirrorless Camera (e.g. Sony NEX series, Panasonic GF series, Olympus PEN series, Nikon 1 Series, Samsung NX series). They're not exactly cheap though.
You can invest on more lenses later and also other accessories.
With the standard zoom lens, it will be bulky (the X lens for Panasonic is a great option but it's costly); but if you can make do with a pancake lens (wide angle and NO zoom), you can just use the pancake lens.
As additional note: The Sony NEX and Samsung NX series have similar sensor size as the DSLR (crop sensor).

nissin di622 mark ii or yongnuo 565ex is a better one?
i wanna get a sb700 bt tight budget now ..

if its your 1st flash, get a SB700. You will appreciate the consistency and flash cycle speed from Nikon Speedlites. Increase your budget, buy in two - three months time.

Hmm, waiting for Yannick to gimme his quote... ._.

used SB600 around RM500.
its still a good flash and quality wise is still a step up from a di622.

i can imagine his toilet having a full length mirror facing the toilet bowl

if u walk into YL should be able to get cheaper
