I guess the advanced amateur model will be in the region of RM4-5k and the pro model will be more than RM10k! A100 is still a good and affordable choice for beginner level.

damn.... still thinking between 400d or a-100
a-100 has good feature, ergonomics and value 400d has better image quality, but claimed to have poor battery performance

warranty even if getting the camera from normal dealer (fotokem, key color, foto shang etc etc) or from sony style is the same - they are both covered by sony malaysia and you can send them to local sony service centers for warranty claim ...... unless the set is water good or something like that.
a-100 image and eos400d image are both good. the eos400d only have the edge when doing low light. the a-100 performance in low light are good, just not as good as the eos400d.

Man! Incredible deal you had....the 50mm F1.4 is AF? If yes, this lens itself already worth at least RM800.

The local Sony Style outlet here is selling the twin lens kit at RM3799, with free 8GB CF card. Single lens kit at RM2999 with free 4GB CF card. Same price as published on the website... except for the free CF card. 18 months warranty.
Should be fine lah right? Can't seem to find alpha at other normal camera shops here yet. Will do some more window shopping tomorrow.
What are common/universal accessories for DSLR .... lens hood? filter?
