Yeah, thanks for the info too. Although im based overseas now, im still more interested in getting the d50 back in malaysia. I checked out the EOS 350D over here today after conversion it's Rm3600... cheap?? I didnt ask what's bundled in the package. Just window shopping.
*
350d for RM3600 i think it is quite expensive..

CANON EOS 350D kit ( with 18-55 only ) = RM 3250

this is the price from one of our forumer.

i am thinking.. if i can buy d50 body only and buy the d70s's kit lens separately then would be cheaper right?
anyone can go and ask for the d50 body only price?

My fren got jalan to get D50,D70s from Japan. and it is much more cheaper..
about RM2134 and RM3151 respectively and all include kit lens.

so the main problem.. the warranty is it apply to Malaysia as well.

If it is not shakehead.gif better buy locally

haha yeah i think since the difference for both just 300bucks about

QUOTE(cfyung85 @ Apr 10 2006, 07:51 PM)
but its kinda hard to find a shop that only sell D50 body only. i scouted all the camera shops in SG, times square n low yatt for 2++ hours n only BINTANG MAJU COMMERCIAL sell D50 body only. that oso cost RM2380

if like that better add 20/70 bucks go buy the D50 with 18-55mm lens. n it is oso not much of a difference if u buy D50 body then cantum the 18-70mm lens since that lens not cheap oso...maybe >800++. i saw in www.nikon.com.my DX 18-70mm lens cost >1200 bucks  sad.gif

hm.. 18-55 makes me give up d50 sigh

Do not underestimate 18-55mm smile.gif
It is the favourite lens of Mr. KRW

who is Mr. KRW actually?

QUOTE(Intrigue @ Apr 10 2006, 08:39 PM)
How secure and genuine is the jalan? If the warranty is OK from Nikon then shouldn't be any problem for us.

BTW, one important thing i forgot to tell u guys..

the BOEING sales person told me that CANON 350D is from japan while the Nikon D70s is from THAILAND!!
*
D70s from thailand? hmm... as long as it dont have problem after sold then should be ok.

KRW > Ken Rockwell. Apparently he likes the 18-55 better than the 18-70. KenRockwell.com.

Anyway, yeah, it's hard to find d50 body only. What's the cheapest price around ar? I'm here in ioi mall, puchong and the shop here selling for RM2500 with the lens kit. Without bargaining. So, when bringing in the Japan one?
*
that japan one i am not sure yet coz wanna confirm with my frens see whether the warranty issues first.
and thanks for the link .. i will have a look then.

Buy D50 first, master it d move up D200/D2X, dun bother the D70s.
Important is the glass, not the plastic!
RM1000 can buy a pretty good flash plus a 50mm prime.

about how much for a pretty good flash and a 50mm prime?
