here have a similiar topic and some prices references


And while everyone saying D80 is similiar to D200 ,dont forgot so is 400D technology also similiar to 30D ,

Entry level is still entry level
Midrange is still midrange ,we can see it from the Continuos Shoot also (5FPS for midrange ,3FPS for entry)
remember entry is still entry ,Nikon using 11 AF point while Canon is 9 AF point ,this doesnt made Nikon entry better then Canon midrange ,from the continuos shoot we can see it ?
And I wouldnt believe if D80 will be as fast as D200 ,because NIKON is not stupid ,if its the same ,no one will buy their midrange but all go for D80 , entry is still entry ,midrange is still midrange (from the Continuos shoot FPS we knw Nikon will purposely limit the entry no matter how)

Nikon D80(body only) US999 , (18-135) US1299
Canon 400D (body only) US799 , (18-55) US899
Sony @100 (body only) US899 ,(18-70) US999

This is US SRP for 3 10 megapixel entry DSLR.

Which one u choose ?

Sigma APO DG Macro 70-300mm hrd tht have a better picture quality compare with Canon 75/90 -300mm

so high megapixel now days -.-" luckily memory card price drop.

anyway brand new Canon M'sia is ard RM2600

17-40 F4L too limit in tele range , why not u add some budget for 24-105F4L IS USM ,I would think tht one would be quite nice ,although the wide angle not that good .



welwitchia

ac98 o.k ,bc for me 17-40 F4L is quite a limit range .

welwitchia
nolah -.-" its ok , but if u r new in DSLR ,u might give a look on Canon 50mm F1.8 ,economic and nice ,ard RM280

welwitchia

I would say if u need a prime lens ,its a good and worth the value , Mayb u should get both and use it depend on situation .

how much to replace tht shutter woh?

eye control havent appear in DSLR yet

Canon still keeping it for marketing strategy sake .
