no such digital SLR at that price.
you don't use 8x optical zoom for DSLR either. set your budget to at least RM 2k for a decent USED unit. 3k if you wish to get NEW unit. |

dang
My bad on the 8x optical zoom What should it be? 'USED' unit for 2k? If it's 3k for a new set, it would be high freaking end I just need a simple and easy to use digital SLR |

i think u better go for prosumer than next time when u think u need a higher end then go for DSLR
i think fuji s6500 or 9600 is u can effort is better i think 28mm wide angle and hot shoe is much better 6500 around 1300 and 9600 around 1700-1800 is around ur budget 9600 give u hotshoe so u can use flash gun next time |
