Just get the compact one, save the hassle of changing lens. If you're not pixel peeper, compact is good enough as nowadays compact's sensor getting bigger

around that pricing can get bridge cameras already, I think can be considered compact also. Try SX50HS? Not sure you'd like it or not. Check the photos produced from the camera here. www.flickr.com/groups/2082775@N20/ Tell me what you think.

P/S: I'm looking to buy a camera too, my preferences are very tough. Refer here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2958564

Modern bridge cameras do not support interchangeable lens, you will be stuck with one lens only. It's not a DSLR, it's a bridge camera. Quite frankly if you're going to settle with RM2k and only kit lens without wanting to spend thousands more on better lens, no point buying a DSLR. Nice lens on a crappy body > crappy lens on a nice body.

Pricing around RM 1500 if you look around.

Compact camera like X20 or RX100. These compact's sensor size is bigger than bridge camera (SX50HS), photo quality is better.
RX100's sensor is 1", X20 2/3" and SX50HS is only 1/2.3"

Nex series is mirrorless exchangable lenses camera. The photo quality is good too.
I won't recommend bridge camera due small sensor size and the super zoom mechanism always broken after one year.

HTC one and Z1 is very different phone. Z1 uses G lens found on its digital camera and uses 1/2.3'' sensor size

Sony said you can have DSLR Quality compact camera here

http://store.sony.com/c/Cybershot-Digital-...Digital_Cameras


RX1, RX1R , RX100MII maybe out of your price range only left RX100

but shashinki is selling RX100MII at 2399


But if you want to keep your HTC one but want quality like RX100MII you can buy QX100 (USD499) to pair with your phone - click QX series on the same page:-

please la, be more considerate when making suggestion. yawn.gif

As for TS, i recommend you sony's rx100 or a mirrorless with pancake if you don't plan to get really serious into photography really soon. Buying a dslr would easily leave you into 2 most common situation. 1) Keep buying more and more gears at the end. 2) The camera end up growing dust at home due to the bulkiness. If you plan to learn deeper into photography, then getting a DSLR is a good choice.

This is very important if you going to use the camera oftenly, nothing beats the comfort of holding the camera. If you don't like how the camera feels in your hand, even if it has the top notch features and quality, you still don't feel good using it. This happened to me before, people suggested me to get a camera that feels good in my hand, I didn't really take note of it since I am a newbie that time. I then purchased a canon 550D, after a year of usage, I regretted for not buying a 60D that time since I really hate the small grip of the 550D now although it's a great camera.

yeah, ergonomics are important. It's the same when you choose a keyboard/ mouse/ handphone, you don't just look at the specs, you will test it and hold it before buying.

I am still using my 550D for 1 year already. haha I think so, loved the bigger grip and extra controls everytime I use my friend's 60D. Hmm... I can't really answer you about that, but DSLR nowadays can record high quality video easily at full HD, some even can get "hack" to achieve 4K recording (cinema resolution).

The evil truth is that you never stop spending $$ when you first get a DSLR. You think you only spend RM2k at first, but end up spending much more $$$ in the end laugh.gif

I bought myself a 60D for RM2k about close to 2 years ago but spend 4-5k++ extra for lenses and accessories sweat.gif

Regarding your question, I shall requote myself from this topic: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2953460

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Sep 10 2013, 11:53 AM)
You might want to take a look at mirrorless cameras, for example the NEX series cameras from Sony [mirrorless cameras are basically DSLRs without the mirror and therefore they are able to be much smaller]. There are a few models in the range of RM1.6k to RM1.8k. They feature the same optical sensor size as most conventional DSLRs [APS-C size] so the difference in Image Quality difference isn't that much.

Cameras like the NEX series [or any other similar cameras] are smaller, lighter and offers more mobility to the user. It's just like a normal compact sized camera.

But the most important difference between a mirrorless camera and a DSLR is the HANDLING. For a DSLR, I have very fast and easy access to all of my camera functions. A dial for changing the aperture and another dial to change the shutter speed. Dedicated buttons to adjust the ISO, metering, AF mode, shutter mode. There is a top LCD panel to show all of my camera settings so that I do not even have to enter the menu to know what settings I'm shooting at.

But for most of the mirrorless cameras [I dare not say all], they do not have all of these buttons everything you want to adjust you would have to dive into the menu to make adjustments. It's hard to make adjustments quickly on the go.

Another thing to note that, with mirrorless cameras, you do have some lenses to choose from but it really isn't as much as the variety you get with a DSLR. I can buy and use nice lenses from Canon, Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, Samyang, Zeiss and many more. There are a lot of lenses to choose from. With a DSLR, I can also easily mount a external flash or a wireless flash to do a studio setup. Or I can easily mount a microphone to improve audio quality recording tremendously.

But at the end of the day, it all comes back to what you are shooting and how will you be progressing in this hobby. A DSLR is a more superior camera than the conventional mirrorless camera in terms of Image Quality, handling, built quality and versatility but it IS HEAVY and BULKY. It is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, that I can assure you.

Just giving you an alternative before jumping into the DSLR bandwagon. I know of a lot of people who quit using DSLRs because of the weight and bulk but there are a lot who stay put because it's the right camera for them. Different strokes for different folks I guess wink.gif

My dua cents. Do keep us updated smile.gif
