I'm planning to get myself a DSLR / mini DSLR. My budget is roughly around 1.5k and I'm not really an expert in DSLR so hoping for sifus here to recommend me a decent one for that budget. Doesn't have to be the latest one (secondhand also can) as long as it works decently

Will be using it mainly for taking pictures on events (conferences) and close-up shots for computer rigs

EDIT: don't offer me any camera to sell, I'm still on planning. Just wanna make comparison of people's suggestions

Sony RX100 series. doesnt matter which one you get. It's not a DSLR. But it's something you'll know and love. Trust me

As TS said. Dlsr bulky nowaday. Try mirrorless. Sony A6000 give good result with kit les. Sony RX100 good option but it non interchangeable lens. Fuji camera will fit your budget perfectly. All above mirrorless. If you wish to get DLSR. I got used Sony Dlsr to let go.

hi if u want, i got a dslr nikon d3200 to let go. still in good and working conditions. feel free to pm me your num so i can give u pictures and explain it more

Canon 100d. This is the smallest DSLR at the moment.
You can get new set for below 2k with kit lens.

A6000 Sony

Samsung nx3300 or sony a5100 based on your budget for interchangable lens. A6000 is good but body only already cost RM1900+ without lens. Unless you are an enthusiast a6000 capability may be wasted.

If dont mind smaller m4/3 sensor like olympus epl6 or 7 is also good.

If no intend to swicth lens rx100mk1 or 2 is better but really looks like point and shoot so not sure if your employer will look at it funny.
