I recommend D40X, extra money spend on lense.

why don't you read up the rest of the threads first?

do you really need DSLR for your subject?

what kind of photography will you be doing for the subject?

do you intend to keep the camera after your project?

350d or a d40 should be good enough

i tot thread like this suppose to be in trade guides section?

A used Nikon D70(body) at RM1500-1700 should do the job already loh.

Or a used KM5D kit is also available at similar price.

how about getting a Canon 400D?

D40 kit + 55-200mm VR, just nicely RM3k and cover all the 18-200 range

erm, im so sorry 4 d inconvenience, im in a hurry actually, so i tot by posting dis topic would giv me a quick n effective tips or guide on d current manner..
btw, i do need an DSLR for my subject (as stated in my course outline), im not quite sure wut kind of photography i will be involve wit ( sounds kindda stupid, sori), n i am gonna keep d camera after my project coz eventually i'm in d video production business (my part-time activity *wedding, events etc), so sooner or later im gonna squeeze sum profits from dis camera, hopefully, heheh!

neway, sorry 4 any inconvenience, im a noob in dis arena, peace~

i agree with gadget freak, with ur budget, better get a d40 + 55-200 lens or sb600 flash, rather than buying d40x kit lens

aiyayayya, havin a hard time makin decision

if you do not wish to further invest into lens the near future, the d40x + 55-200vr would be your best bet for rm3k.

However, if your budget increases in the near future, you can consider canon's 400D kit, or d80kit even, or even other brands such as Sony Alpha, Pentax, Olympus...etc

Well guys, i think i had made up my mind, im gonna go with Nikon D40X.. tengs!
