Planning to get either nikon d3300 or d5300.
d5300 is like rm400 more expensive. any opinion?
im just a beginner. and yeah where can i get the best bargain in KL/selangor area?

Try ylcamera.

I would pay that additional RM400 for the sake of getting the wireless and built-in GPS functionality as well as the fully articulated LCD if I were you.

fully articulated lcd ftw

FYI, if mainly taking video, fully articulated screen is very useful. But pretty cumbersome if you just want to take quick overhead or below waist shot cause you need to flip the screen more. For fast shoot, tilt screen would be better than fully articulated but depend on your style and preference.

Anyway aside from the articulated screen, GPS and wifi are both pretty useless IMO. Why not up the budget a little more and get D5500 (minus GPS) with touchscreen?

for stills, i wish my camera screen can tilt.

Wifi is useless? Are you kidding? With a smartphone you could connect to it wireless to take shots without spending that extra money on a wireless remote trigger. Perfect for taking photos of yourself or even long exposure shots to avoid vibration while the camera is left on a tripod or a stable platform. Not to mention the instant preview on your smartphone.

I also personally feel the slight hassle of flipping the LCD is well worth it due to additional angles or possibilities arising from its flexibility compared to those tilting screens but maybe that's just me.

There is no need for argument on whether the GPS or wifi is useless or not. Frankly speaking, having the additional perks of GPS and Wifi is only useful if the owner uses it. Of course, it comes with a price too (increase in price of the camera and increased consumption of battery).

I planning to do photography and videography as a hobby for now. It's very true also while filming can flip the screen so that I could see my composition immediately for certain low angles. That caught me haha. My budget is actually max 2k just for the camera. I need to buy tripod, battery, Mic some more. Cause I do vlogs too. Btw any recommendation on tripods and Mic that attached to the dslr? Best entry level ones will do

I said IMO. Yes you can connect to smartphone until you realise battery drain faster than you play pokemon go on ur smartphone. I have wifi camera too, but since then never switch it on cause it is a hassle to connect. However bluetooth is an exception.

For tripods that is cheap and economical try the fotopro s3. That would probably be the cheapest and most economical model that comes to my mind. And perhaps the rode mic?

As for camera I guess you could consider the D3300 & D3400 for Nikon. For Canon, the 1200D or 1300D

If feel the hobby will not last....true get a very basic one.

However if you feel the hobby will be a long lasting one and you have needs to upgrade, consider getting a better one.

Best bargain is online store like 11street/lazada/gem5 coz got more disc with voucher.
Go to shop for view n test2 only. Once ok, then buy online.

'Go for the D5300. Worthy buy. I got mine from 11street. Quite good seller and fast shipment.

Can get 0% installment from 11street and if you got enough coupons it can make it worth your while. Only thing I want to complain about this camera is the wifi take sometime to connect to the phone. So need to wait abit before it gets connected.

I went to the new YL Camera in Jaya 33 today. WOW!!! So big n nice. They were still arranging n displaying lotsa stuff when I was there.

my complain is the Live View after i hit the shutter button, it delays up to 3 seconds

and the only everyday sling hanging there which is such a temptation!
