Which entry DSLR u recommend for beginner?

nikon d40...
canon eos 350d and 400d...

depends on your budget..

if you have the money.. go for canon EOS 40D because it comes with live view mode

Furthermore .... you dont need to upgrade in the future.

Would it good to invest in a 350d at this time?
Would u consider the specs would be a bit outdated since 350D and 400D is difference of about RM800?

i wouldnt recommend 350d
this camera is super slow

edit: oppss... slow as in lagging when viewing the images on the lcd. i hate it

nikon D40 or D40x

Go for Olympus E-510, the twin lens kit package. Darn worthwhile!!!

if u wanna start out with some low budgets..get a nikon d40/d40x
and if u have some money to add on ..maybe u just go for d80 it self..its a worth buying cammie

I would recommend either a Nikon D80 or a Canon 400D. If budget permits, perhaps a Canon 30D.

To start off with, and if u have the budget EOS 400D is good. If you don't get a used EOS350D.

After u have familiarised urself with DSLR and u wish to move to another level, then get a semi pro (EOS 40D) or a pro DSLR if budget permits.

That's why, always go for Canon because their lens compatibility and cost of their lens. And of course, they have a manufacturer service center to shout at in case something went wrong

Sony Alpha. The built in body IS is superb for slow shutterspeed shooting

Yeah... i heard abt this too.. the good and bad abt this though is that the IS mechanism is built-in ON THE BODY, not the lens. Cool... the un cool part is, i forgot why ))

i think d uncool part is d price!

D40 for me...hands down, thumbs up

D40X.....or 400D...for comparison, search button is down there..

Its depend on your budget bro.. If posibble, go the one got AF motor inside the body..

Got budget or not? Better state...

I would say Pentax K100D Super. You will be in love with the pentax prime lenses later.

d40 damn good for beginners...intuitive and simple to use... i was previously using hp cam...and i straight jump to dslr also no prob

everyone will vouch for the camera they're using. it'll never end.

initially i wanted a Nikon. then Pentax and Sony came into the list. In the end I got myself a Canon.

most importantly, you go to the shop and get a feel of the camera itself.

Remember, it will be IN YOUR HANDS so your hands and arms MUST be comfortable with it.
