If given kitlens is high end lens than all DSLR would cost at least 4-5K above...the point where there is Entry Level DSLR nowadays is to slowly let compact camera, prosumer camera user to slowly poison themself to DSLR which personally i think it's good....

Just my 2 cents

went to sony wings today... played with a100 for around 1 hour ... really like this machine~ I think i will get it...

is it?
maybe you would like to try Nikon

OOB (Out of Budget) lar. sinchan, I dun really like Jedi, and I like to be on the Dark Side... too bad... Dark Side "membership" is too high...

sonyfy ur life

don regret if you "happen" to feel others brands after you made your purchase and start looking back yah.... hehehehehe

Just dunno why, but i feel that people around here just hates Sony

Just do more research and you know what brand of Camera you will like to own.

If you already decided just go ahead and get one. Like what wlcling say "just don't look back & don't compare your purchase with other brands" & I am sure you will be happy with it.

read in some forums (not sure if its this one or not), but it was mentioned that how much you research about what you want, etc, etc, nothing beats actually going and really feeling the real thing for yourself.... so go to some friendly shop and try all the possible models..

hohoh....so many different dark side poisoning him ....

you still can get 3rd party lens that makes for KM mount.

it's not like you're going to get lens all the time.

just take note that waiting for people to sell off their 2nd hand unit for Sony (KM) mount is pretty hopeless. i thought of getting Pentax K100D myself but end up getting Canon 350D (used unit la. i also budget user.)

TeraPox,

I'm a Sony A100 user. I can tell you that if you go with this camera, you won't be taking a bad route. Sure you will get itchy and think why all the lenses on sale are for either Nikon / Canon only... but put it this way lah: if there are less KM/Alpha mount lenses for sale, then there are less chances of us getting poisoned and our money in our bank is more safe

But like fellow forumers said, go & "fondle" each camera to your heart's contend then only buy lah. Don't rush.

Sham.

ah~ forgot to ask.. is it true that 400d is around six month "younger" than a100?

so younger make it better? like chicks...

yah... but too young and you also might not know what you're getting yourself into.... hehehe

400D first launch was Sep 2006

so, the age graph should be like this...

Sony A100 ( June 2006) > Nikon aka darkside D80 (August 2006) > Canon 400D (Sept 2006)

pls correct me if i'm wrong ...

I don't think it really matters that much as to which comes out first. It is how each & everyone of these camera feel in your hand. How comfortable you are with using it. Some guys I know still insist on using manual film camera because to them, it feels "right". And I am not someone who will argue with them because the shots they make are seriously good.

Sham.

aiyo..it's really confusing him since we have different brand and model user here and sure everyone said their own model/brand is good this and that.

I think BEST is you go check out the camera physically, try and test on them..see which one nice to hold, u like from the first look and budget meet you...like choosing girl friend la...SET some requirement la

hehehe...if not ppl keep saying "eh i saw this chinese girl pretty, i saw that malay girl pretty and etc you will end up single forever !! "ahahaha....

g88, I LIKE YOUR ANALOGY!

sham.

Hahaha...real life example
