The Nikon D5*** series sounds ok, body + kit lens is around 2.5 now very user friendly and LCD screen can be flipped out for more convenience.

Extra lens would be 17-50mm from Tamron for around 1.5k (new) and perhaps get the 55-300mm for long range shots during company events like company dinner

Woah, RM10k for a casual DSLR is really a lot
I agree with agito sifu, I would recommend getting the D5300, which has all the features you need, the 360 screen will be most useful for video and selfies too!
I think the DSLR can be paired with a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 VC, which is a pretty good lens. I think it will be good to invest in a flashgun as well (Nikon SB700 may be a bit overkilled, but the reliability and quality is definitely there) for indoor shots.

Save the rest of the money for something else

nice.. n thanks also wan camera got lcd screen can flip.. n lens also nice.. u really know what i need .




maybe i need flash gun too for night and out door event

best possible go to times square nikon center there test holding for 5k series first.

because you mentioned many non-professional will use that. actually 5k series is very light and small body, someone with big hand will not like that XD

lens i think kit lens good enough la (for beginner)
you might need get 1-2 spare batteries if really do for event. or maybe buy another body i duno la how many people in charge in photograph for 1 event.

to far for testing.. 5d series also good.

thanks all.

5d is cannon dslr
cost you around 8-12k if not mistaken just for body alone

D5 series i put in my list.. need to prepare proposal

hi guys, can recommend any reliable seller/shop in KL to get Nikon dslr?

thankss

D5 ?????

lost in translation

New shots





The 2nd spider is around 3 or 4cm big

Great finds man, these are relatively uncommon spiders

hah thanks, didn't manage to get a lot of pictures today though. I wonder how big can a jumping spider grows?

Around 1-2cm (body length)
The Hyllus cf. keratodes (your 2nd photo) can grow quite large

One of the shots today~

Red-tailed Racer- Gonyosoma oxycephalum by Ji Tan, on Flickr

This green colour, medium-sized Colubrid is an arboreal (living on trees) snake that feeds mainly on young birds. This snake got its name because of the slightly reddish tail that it has. The blue coloured tongue looks weird, but attractive at the same time. It is said that the snake has an air "bag" in its neck which can be inflated to make the snake look intimidatingly larger.

Although arboreal, Red-tailed Racers occasionally go down to the ground to get from one place to another. I don't know much about snakes, but was really lucky to be able to come across one

wah

was really worried of it jumping onto me as I approach, definitely not those average little spiders.

Hyllus sp. is gentle one. No worries.

Your diffusion is so nice. This photo hard to photograph or not? The tongue blue colour one.

hi hope this is not a silly question. is there a difference between the 18-55mm kit lens of d5100 and d5500? they're the same thing right?

Ya, the kit lens is the same one.
