the trade in was you get RM 600 off for trading-in a functional camera whether, yes even film camera.

mine's the EOS 350D. i got it with kit-lens and battery for about RM 1.75k.
then i bought additional battery + charger (RM 100+)
then i bought 70-300mm lens (~ RM 600)
then i bought a bag (~RM 100)

so yeah. that's it so far. smile.gif CF card already have. just ordered a new one, so that'll set be back another ~RM 130 or so.

pictures? refer to gallery on my signature. AFAIK forummers like nairud and diwant are using 350D as well.

the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and Nikkor 50mm f1.8 is a good deal, 18-70 is one of the best kit lens around too, he must be a lucky man!

I am a beginner who would like to get into photography as a hobby and am considering between a few DSLRs such as Canon EOS 350D, Canon EOS 400D, Nikon D40 and Nikon D40x. FYI, my budget is around 3K.

Any recommendations as to which camera I should get?
