Hello all sifus here,
Would like to ask for guidance and teachings.
I'm a newbie here. And i want to learn more on photography.
What body and lens would all sifus recommend me to get?
Where can i get them? Regarding warranty and all, is it wise to get it from overseas? Like Bangkok for example? Hope all sifus here can allocate a little bit of their precious time to teach this newbie.

before that u should give us your budget..else ppl will tell u the 3 trinity and D4s  rclxm9.gif
where to get? i think best still getting local set. Even getting AP set, get from a known seller that can help u settle the warranty issue if encounter anything.

oh! sorry. forgot to mention budget. i think would be around 2K i guess
i need something for a beginner. not something high end
it doesn't even need to be the latest model
u know it's like get something easy to use and all
this is to keep the interest going. then later on only trade in the old unit and go for something higher end

good day again. been doing some reading since this morning in between job interval
so something caught my interest. mirrorless and dslr.
i've read about both of it and the comparison
mirrorless is light in weight compared to dslr
then the preview part, mirrorless cannot preview unless u take a pic of it.
the rest of the competition is more or less the same. for example, image quality, stabilization, video quality.
so i was hoping someone can help guide me on this about whether to get a dslr or mirrorless and pros and cons of it

Nikon's mirrorless systems are not that good when compared to competitors hmm.gif
So if you want to stick to Nikon, DSLRs are still the better pickĀ  laugh.gif

Mirrorless cameras, as the name suggest, lacks the mirror that allows you to see what you will be photographing through the lens- they lack the optical viewfinder, and thanks to that, they can be designed to be much smaller and more portable nod.gif
Of course, smaller = more portable but less ergonomic

So it depends on what you really want hmm.gif most mirrorless systems nowadays are quite affordable, and uses similar sensors (go for the ones with APS-C and not m43) as those in DSLRs.

If portability is important to you - mirrorless
If ergnomics (dials and button layouts) - DSLR

just my 2 cents~

not really true tongue.gif some higher end mirrorless have quite many custom buttons that allow users to pick a specific function for them. thus it will offer more direct access compared to dslr.

the main advantages of dslr I can see compared to mirrorless is the phase detection, weather sealing/ ruggedness and also the choices of lenses (not really matter if you just shoot specific thing, not everyone buy every single lenses of a system anyways).

Thanks for all your inputs. Will look around and test it out before really committing to one
