There isn't much to consider with just less than RM1.5k budget. You can only get beginner camera with this money. So lets not think that the camera will be super good and perfect for what it is.

If budget allows, save up more and get something better. A low end camera will phase out really quick so the value drops a lot as well. Not to mention they are generally equipped with basic specifications only.

Thank you for your reply mate. Well it is just my estimated budget though. Do you have any recommendation on which camera should I aim for?
Just for leisure time taking photos of my friends hanging out, some macro of random things,something like that. Canon 600D sounds good?

it's good for what you are planning to shoot. But as a dslr, it will never be as convenient to bring around as a mirrorless/ phone. so if you are planning to bring the camera around, a mirrorless will be good.

Other than having small body for mirrorless, is there any other advantage over DSLR?
From what you have written it resembles Samsung NX2000 a lot! hehe.

That's the main advantage imo. I cant really tell any other advantage since I don't really need them when choosing between DSLR and mirrorless.

image quality is not something that you need to prioritize when choosing a camera as beginner. nowadays even phone can produce good enough quality pictures, the main factor is how you use it.
