indoor model shoot use studio flash loh

3 AF point is indeed very discouraging
but then again, if the price is indeed low as speculated,

then the 3 AF points is better then the prosumers
die prosumers die...

lol... another one trying his poison here...

S3 ada flexi AF zone leh

so anyone know the market price yet? or maybe in SGD?

the 18-55mm lense will kill you

S3 is 36-432mm

any idea when the kit set will arrive in KL?

hmmm..after read thru all the comment abt this D40 that launching in Msia soon, i felt that might not getting this then

aiyo..how come the D40 price not out yet..else can consider. if > than 2.5K, i might go for D400 with kit lens then. haiz...

but D50 supports CLS

ya there is cons and pros
;p haha hard to decide

haiz...another headache for DSLR newbies like me ><

simply get any body

u only need to worries of the lens later

shinchan..wat do u think if getting D400 body then getting another 2 lens..
1. Tamron AF70-300mm LD Di f4/5.6 Macro 1:2
2. 50mm F1.8

400D not D400


50mm is a good lens

combination of 70-300mm and 50mm
u lost the wide angle coverage

i think if u get the kit set
18-55 will cover it

hmm...like this..
ok~ get it..
thankss

If you really want to migrate to DSLR from your PnS or prosumer, the choices you have is D50, D70s and up.
D40 is like prosumer camera that can change lens, in between prosumer and DSLR.
Personally, i would not call D40 as DSLR... it does not have the function or ability of a DSLR.
D40 only 3-focus points, D50 5 area focus point
D40 use CAM-530, D50 use CAM-900
D40 no braketing, D50 have
D40 not fuly support AF lenses.
D40 to light, when mount heavy lenses might have problem.
D40 not support CLS i think.

but if you just want something better than PnS, D40 is a good choice.
