better dont buy d40 also...
many ppl end up regret never add more cash to buy d80
then also end up trying to sell of d40...which is lesser than 1k if wanna sell it back

better straight aim d80...not enough budget then wait first...dont rush and get d40

*heard advice from pro*

ok dokey yeah i heard many ppl said the same thing... which means hv to save up to 4k jor haha.

less than 3k for d80 if you buy just body only

hm... need to buy lens oso de ma... but for noobies like me better stick with kit lens 1st haha.

since u all pro photographer have been talking about dslr subject.. i jus wanna ask something that is totally noob for me..

i mean.. is it rili a "death-sentence" for using normal digital camera for shooting completed kits?

i was planning to get a new digi-cam.. prob a sony or canon..
any decent models for non-dslr one?

ask suggestion which one to get...
then need to ask at photography section lo...
they can suggest you a good one there...ask here you wont get much feedback

okay.. maybe i'm jus being lazy to explore into there.. well.. i asked here prob some1 could understand my concern of a digicam as being a "tool for gunpla".. not as a versatile camera.
if i were to ask there, they prob give me solid reasons which i yet to "digest"

i've actually tried using one of those sony dsc w55..

results wasn't superb.. but was good enuf i think..

i was merely asking for advice wat features and how to balance up my budget on getting a digicam if i were to use it mainly for shooting completed kits.. not excellent photographs but a well-focus and easily handle unit..

or do we actually have this information under gunpla/plastic modelling tutorial section?

thanks alot and sorry for pulling a fuss here..

Try this : Gamerabaenre Photography 101

He got many other tutorials regarding model kits

thanks

actually u need setup a light box...
cheapo camera also can take nice pics...

yeah...there's a tutorial to setup light box in that link i provided above too.

but i'm lazy to do it myself

ps: watching the simpsons and my blog is up!

You can try those prosumer DC. Example like Canon S5IS. I myself using S3IS. This is good enough for me. Not expensive like DSLR but better future than compact DC. I use to have SLR and I still like it. But getting tired to carry around. Damn heavy and if include the lens kit and accessory, my arm pain liau. So I drop back to smaller size but don't compromise the photo quality and have almost all the SLR future.
I travel alot. The DC must light, won't take my large space of luggage. Can take picture fast and easy to carry. Plenty of zoom to spy leng lui. Won't run out of battery and cheap memory card. The Canon S3IS is my best choice. For the spec, check for ypurself.

usually i take my kit picture with just a mere kodak dc... those RM500 one... still ok but need proper lightning.

this is turning into Photog Kopitiam

i only uses my poor A430...... last last time bought it for the price where i can buy a 8mp camera d
