depending on your budget

nikon D80 with 10.2 MP,
good for beginner.
very nice image quality and not so expensive,
cost RM 3988 (body only).

are u sure... :|
that is so costly...

then D40

around RM2.2K for kit set...

and this model not good for varying lens rite....

it does not have mechanical focus drive pin

and onli AF-S/AF-I can be used coz have CPU contacts to drive the build in focus motor

i dun understand.. u want an affordable one.. but u wanted it to have features of the higher end models in it...

AFAIK, none of the current DSLR models is small + light + powerful + not so expensive.

okie...
how about d50 is it light yet powerful

D40
it is small. light and yet powerful (depends ur lens ) and not so exspensive

D70s ...damned cool DSLR

Sure RM3988? I thought it is only RM3400-RM3500 for BODY-ONLY.

the lens might be a big problem later cos i might not be able to change lens later...

Nikon D80 is the choice.. no need to ask so much.. it wins all DSLR compared to those almost the same price one..

littlegreen, you seem to already have a mind in what you want or something.

i think it's no point for US to tell you want you should get already.

the choices are clear, D40 or D80 - they're both good. D80 you complain pricey, D40 you complain lense issue (not that it really has lense problem).

the funny thing is here you are complaining D80 expensive yet D40 you talk about changing lenses - which could add up to the same amount.

so my suggestion to you is

1. tell us your budget for your initial setup.
2. tell us the lense range that you intend to get over what period of time.



correct me if i'm wrong ShinChan sifu, but AFAIK you CAN use AF lens on D40. just that only the AF-S / AF-I will work with D40's auto-focusing but not the AF lens.

yeaps u're right...lenses that u cant use are most of the primes and 3rd party lenses. gives u a limited choice. u'd be better off getting all the big guns like the 70-200,17-55,105,12-24 but if u had that much money, i'd suggest getting d d80

as u said, littlegreen, a budget!

yes u r right
but i do not think u would wanna use a telephoto,zoom in manual
for fast action
it is slow

kekeke

erm. yeah la. my point was that you CAN use them. just that as you what you said, telephoto + zoom + fast action without AF would be an issue.

so again, i guess it all boils down to the buyer's type of photography. which reminds me that i gotta save up for WIDE angle lens.

Did it come with free gift or lens kit?
