Hi guys out there, I m looking for a entry-level dslr and in fact, have been doing a little research on them. Basically, i found out that three abovementioned model appeal the most to me. So, now having headache to choose which one.
P/S: I prefer Canon, but the kit lens is not so good ( according to reviews ). Thus, can i buy canon 400d with 17-55mm instead of the 18-55mm. HOw much would be the price approximately?
Thank you in advance.

QUOTE(turbovtec @ Sep 22 2007, 12:48 PM) majority use canon or nikon.. no offense on other brand.. but think about lens + flash.. other brand you may not have alot of shop selling it. and 17-55 <- as far i know it a 17-55 F2.8 IS --- hahah nie lens cost about 3.5k to 4k alone.. about the kit lens.. <--- review said it was not so good. not really. as fas as i consider you can get good picture with it. practice make perfect. you still new. stick to kit lens.. but you have bigger budget can consider 17-85 .. 17-55 is a much more expensive. But y dun consider olympus E-510 as well. All the reviews said it performs well also. And it does have IS. Is it worthwhile to buy the olympus E-510 with twin lens kit which costs around RM3700. By the way, can anyone please explain to me bout the focal length, its quite confusing. Thanks. P/S: My budget is around 2800-3500. This post has been edited by tkp13: Sep 22 2007, 01:43 PM |

QUOTE(CompMac @ Sep 22 2007, 04:24 PM) With your budget, you will be able to buy the E-510 twin lens kit. Just shop around for the best price. I got a quote at around RM3400 and another one at around RM3200 but in Penang. The main advantages of E-510 over the other 2 models: - Supersonic Wave Filter that really works in removing dust from sensor - Built-in CCD shift IS that makes all your lenses become VR/IS compatible lens which in turn helps you save loads of money - The kit lenses are the best in terms of built and performance among the 3 models. - The best value for money currently for the twin lens kit FYI, What Digital Camera magazine gave E-510 90% rating in their September issue. Really??? RM3200????  then for sure i will go for it...since i dun think i will need to buy new lens any sooner, the kit lens are more than enough. Haha....seems like you are a Oly fans..Btw, what will be the price in KL area? Thanks lot for ur info.  I'm gonna to be an Olympian soon.I'm gonna to be an Olympian soon.I'm gonna to be an Olympian soon.I'm gonna to be an Olympian soon.  This post has been edited by tkp13: Sep 22 2007, 04:37 PM |

QUOTE(cjtune @ Sep 22 2007, 11:02 PM) ...and some say among all manufacturers' kit lenses. Frankly I have both the kit 14-42mm and HG 14-54mm (S$750) lens, and I can't tell the difference in sharpness between the both of them at any common focal length I've tried. Weather-sealing aside, the 14-54 has better distortion and chromatic abberation control. Both lenses have enough multicoats to prevent any ghosting/flaring from bright lights within the view. Yea...i've considered that. Thanks anyway. Most probably I will be getting my E-510 in 3 weeks time, if nothing special happens  . |
