Hi everyone. Here is my dilemma . I were assigned to get camera & other related setup for a school.

Currently they own Sony A6000, so I asked suggestion in Sony Forum and they gave good guidance there.

Usage of this camera & setup : For passport size photo and during any events. Events here means not the whole event, they will assign profesional photographer to cover it. We will use this setup to take student and their parents picture before they enter the hall. Its similar to photobooth setup but minus the props & printing setup.

Suggestion I gave : Get softbox lighting kit & flash for the A6000. I surveyed the price for both items , continuous fluorescent lighting kit( 4 bulbs of 38W) cost around RM1k for 1 pair in DGColor, flash around RM900 (F43M).

Problem : Some of the staff's there dont like the A6000 because they feel it doesnt look like DSLR and might wont perform like DSLR. I tried to explain to them that this model capable doing the work we need but they still insist to get a proper DSLR. They feel this A6000 doesnt have pro look. doh.gif They suggested to get entry level DSLR like D3300,EOS110D etc. Yesterday some one suggested to get a 2nd hand EOS 650D ( shutter count 2714, RM900). I even told them,once we fix a flash on top of A6000 it will give the "pro look" and it will perform better if compared the entry level models they mentioned.

How do I solve this problem? Any suggestion guys? Should I stick with A6000 or get new DSLR ( budget RM2k) or just buy the 2nd hand EOS650D?  rclxub.gif

Thanks for the comment. Will try my best to go there. Any other reliable shops in Lowyat? I might be going there this week to buy some IT stuffs.

to be frank with u, most digital camera shop will only ask u to buy canon & nikon. so far, only studio zaloon, YL camera have wide range of professional equipment, and they're known as trusted resellers
