what kinda entry level of dslr?

Ur budget? IF u can afford up to Rm 2 k ....and dont mind the big size of the camera

i suggest u to get Canon 1000D ...

if u want the best out from a small camera..then i suggest u buy lx3..

big = dslr

if small = lx3

i think go for LX3 1st la.
dun go forward too fast....
dslr is quite an investment...
somemore i think canon is more for the rich players...
while nikon shud suite more budget players.

Hi PCHo,

The lists never rank who got it first. As long as we are family of King of the King LX3. Hehe...

Mind to share how actually I can take this kind of photo? Hong Kong's Harbour front panorama (stitched from 4 shots)

Hi hi~!
hahahah.....
I know no ranking one la.

Panorama shots are simple.
If you have CS3 (or u can use Panny's provided Panorama Maker 4), just use the "Automate" function under "Files" and use "Photomerge".
Then select the few photos you wanna stitch together to become a panorama and the program will do the rest for u.

Anyway, b4 hand, you need to remember to take "overlapping" photos (20% of each shot is best).
What is meant by overlapping is to leave ~20% of your 1st shot in the 2nd shot you are taking, and ~20% of your 2nd shot in the 3rd shot u r taking, and so on, and so on.

So, if your photos are a sequence of numbers, you should take them like this:


Photo #1: [1 2 3 4 5]
Photo #2: [5 6 7 8 9]
Photo #3: [9 10 11 12 13]

And your final prodcut will be [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13]

Hope this explanation helps

Thanks SO...much! Appreciated your explanation. Must go try it out one day...

I was so surprise today... my got my adaptors and filters on my doorstep.. it was a fast delivery..


2 len caps, 3 filters, 1 step up ring (46mm-52mm), 1 46mm adaptor, 1 panny original 52mm adaptor






the reason why I have 2 adaptors and 2 lens cap is... the filters are actually come with it...

i'm currently working in melbourne, aus..

for the 3 filters (UV, PL, ND) + len cap + 52mm adaptor cost me around rm 130 (incl shipping)
Ebay Link
and for the other 46mm adaptor + len cap + 46mm-52mm step up ring rm70 (incl shipping) (hvnt done enough research then bought it.. sigh)
Ebay Link

I got both of them from ebay, there are more and more accessories for LX3 now.. search for these sellers hkdcplus and d-slr-a

Do you want convenience or do you want to invest in a Dslr and Lenses.
If you feel the Lx3 suits you,like it suited me for the convenience, look no further.
Of course a Dslr is a Dslr...but you have to weigh the pro's and con's.

Cheers

wah so cheap only

too bad we are based in malaysia...wasted

Well, there's always ebay!...
So it means there is no one here in Malaysia selling this stuff?.
Cheers

thanx

kevin 7ae..i feature ur picture all over the forum jor
kekeke

yea.. i think hk is pretty cheap..

before I bought lx3, I was thinking about dslr... but, it's too hassle to bring it around, it's big and heavy... and lens are so expensive...
no doubt, the lowest end dslr's capability is definitely better than any compacts dc lo...
at first, I was a quite disappointed when I got to know lx3 can't achieve bokeh effect (with people not macro)...
but, you know, nothing is perfect... after play with it for a while.. lx3 aint a normal point and shoot camera..!
