But I was told that the D80 kit would cover all your needs and its known that NIKON gives better Kit lenses than CANON anyday. Esp this D80 which come with the 18-135mm lense.

Im planning to buy D80 body only and use AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED. (sugeested by my fren) Is this combination ok?

18-200mm covers from wide angle to zoom. If u dont want to carry many lens type with u this lens will cover mostly all ur needs. Maybe u might want to add one prime lens for potrait shoot or one for macro if u are into this kind of photography.

haha... i luv potrait shoot. What lense u will suggest?

If i were u, i'll get

1) D80 body - RM3.4k
2) Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 - RM1.3k
3) Nikkor 50mm f1.8 - RM360

Nice and just slightly over RM5k, just forget about tele for current moment.

is the fujifilm finepix S5700 a good dslr ? Im looking for my first dslr, and i found someone selling brand new for RM866. Is that price for real ? Seems too good to be true.

it comes with standard accessories from manufacturer + 1 year warranty from fujifilm

The fujifilm finepix S5700 is not a true DSLR. It is only a superzoom that looks like a DSLR.

oh really ? mind to explain a lil bit ? coz i dunno bout cameras hehe

that's rather misleading.

the S5700 is not even a DSLR!

to be identified as DSLR, it's not about the shape. it's the mechanism.

no wonder it's so cheap

thanx

DSLR can change lens. if the camera can't change lens, it's confirm not a DSLR already.

so how much is the cheapest dslr in the market now ?

around RM2k, choose between Nikon D40 or Canon 350D.
Personal recommendation would be Canon 350D.

cheapest, if you don't mind used unit, can be below RM 2k.

I bought mine for less than RM 2k, used unit and still working well. After that the additional $$$ was used for various parts.

Hey guys.....why don't you all consider about Olympus E-510??? Its features are better than 400d and d40x, at least the kit lens certainly outperform both's kit lenses. If you buy the twin lens kit package, it's very worthwhile and I am sure that you can cover quite a number of occasions already. Just my two cents.....

thanx for all the replies guys.

Will think bout it more

the dark side is calling your name....


bwahhaha

The Olympus is calling his name as well....hehe...

hahaha need to save money first

Added on September 30, 2007, 2:54 amafter some readings, i think i better start with prosumer camera. So can a prosumer takes multiple shots like a slr ? I mean, like very2 small lag between shots. Of course cannot beat slr rite ?

Im quite interested on the the panasonic lumix dmc-fz18 coz it has 18x optical zoom. Is it good ?
