D200 body only RM5050

30D body only RM3950

RM1050 difference ,if u have no budget problem and know how to use DSLR,D200 is a good choice.

Heard of those as well ... and many of those are ones that will come back cursing and ranting that maintenance is expensive, warranty claims and camera repair take ages to get done, expensive accessories, spare parts, etc. tongue.gif

I am just slowly waiting KM 7D replacement model , Sony @150 tongue.gif ?? and CZ *T 16-80 F3.5-F4.5,it shld be smtg nice and cool one.

Pentax K10D looks not bad lah ,Photomalaysia got people own it ady

http://www.pentaxworld.com/

their lens 16-50 F2.8ED [IF] and 50-135 F2.8ED [IF] and 60-250 F4ED [IF] is interesting

but for consumer lens like DA 17-70mm and DA 70-300mm seems like still an unknown status.

If the D200 price differs only by RM300 when compared to the 30D, GET THE D200. =) It's a more rugged camera and a class higher than the 30D.

I bet those that're still considering between the 2 models prefer to wait it out if they have the money becoz BOTH models are already out for some time : D200's replacement is long overdue and Nikon can jump on its customers like they did to D40 users whereas Canon is kicking butt in the professional model section ... I predict Nikon will make its move 1st.

I suggest you wait for 7D's replacement coz as soon as you grab Sony @150, Sony might jump on you with a SLIGHTLY improved @200 months later, haha!!

You know why I say so? Coz the name "Alpha 200" is nice tongue.gif
