haha actually quite like D5200, but full kit will cost about 3k right?

You should go and try both of the camera, the d3200 has a newer sensor but loss some features from the d5100 such as tiltable screen etc.

I used my friend's d3200 for a while but I think it is way too small to hold comfortably for normal sized hands, the d5100 is larger and easier to hold.

Price wise 5100<3200<5200

The 5100 with Kit lens is around 1.5-1.6K only

If your budget can stretch to D3200/5200 territory I'd definitely suggest you take a look at a D7000 instead

or if u want cheaper option D90... the old classic

I second that suggestion.. but rather outdated d, no?

outdated but cheap and yet good

hmmm thanks for all the suggestion. Dont think will get a D90 though. D5200 is tempting but a bit pricey...if get that then cant top up to get more lens.

Btw, would it be advisable to get body only and getting 3rd party lens? That way I won't be wasting the kit lens and let it collect dust in case seldom use it.

take used one...if u take new one..i guaranteed within 3 month...u will eager to upgrade...

cant agree no more..... D90 its old but really good for beginners for that price... even some pros here use D90 but produce awesome shots

Get D7000 bro... Definitely worth it... The last time i check D7000 body only price is RM24xx... Then, u get a used 18-105 or 18-55... Or u get a 50mm prime lens

Very true bro... I bought my D3200 kit last year and bought another lens within a month...

let him decide what best....

forget to say HEllo...i am new jumper here...LOL...from Canon...

welcome to the dark side

wonder which one is dark side??...tried out the D7000 for few week now...very solid foundation..but the lens a bit pricey than canon...

just wondering what is ur reason to jump over?

If you noticed his signature, he's selling it LOL.

wait huh? what???? uhh

first of all...i am the only Canon @ my area...is that reason acceptable...?LOL...

brand discrimination....

D7000 offers an excellent shooting experience with a professional feel and features for not too much money at all...

although Canon 7D is die hard competitor....

if u use d7000 with 50mm 1.8d, u cannot justified the IQ yet. Must shoot with good lens..then u will know the "power".
