This is a the dedicated thread for everyone out there that need Professional recommendations on buying a new Point and Shoot cameras / Prosumer cameras / DSLRs / Video Recorder

To request recommendation, what u need to post:

Example:

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM4000 include kitlens
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : 400D, 350D, D40, D80
Any specific features u want? : Kelvin WB adjustable, more than 5 focusing points.


Use the template below

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Dslr (2nd hand)
Budget: +-1300
Your Location: n9
Preferable brand :
Type of photography u want to do :event,landscape
Any specific models in mind? :
Any specific features u want? :

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget: RM5000
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : Nikon or Canon
Type of photography u want to do : travel pictures, events, candid
Any specific models in mind? : Nikon D90 or Canon 50D
Any specific features u want? :

Second hand? Why do you want to get a second hand when you can get a Sony a200 at that price?

You just need to top up RM100 and walla, there you go.

Anyway, if you do have a RM2k budget, you will have more choices, like the 1000D or the D60/D80...

Canon 50D, 40D, Nikon D90, or maybe a D300

You should test the D90 + 50D out, both are equally good, so it's all up to your personal decisions. Have a look at their official site and specifications if you still can't make a decision.

juz nid a simple digicam, im kinda noob in this area, any sifu here can help me

Prosumer? If you ask me, I'd recommend you to increase your budget and get an LX3.

Anyway, there's the Powershot G10, or the Olympus SP565UZ.

There's no link for the Canon one so you have to go to the site.

http://site-my.canon-asia.com/index.cfm?fu...pe=powershotg10

Try the Olympus FE series.

http://www.olympusimage.com.my/products/compact/fe_series/

I think you can get 400D for around that price. More or less.

As for the types of photography, the kit lens should do fine.

@jdreamer:

You serious you can get a 400D for RM1.4K?!?!

IF that's true, I would've got myself a 400D kit + extra lenses already.

dude dia cakap second hand. Theres a lot head over to photomalaysia and photokaki, u'll find a lot

Read carefully before you hentam lah.

Oh. My apologies then. I don't know the used prices well.

hi. can someone give opinion. i have a budget around 800. i'm considering canon Ixus 80 IS and canon a2000is. or anyone have a better suggestion. can anyone help me. any help would be very much appreciated. thanks in advance..

You might try the Olympus FE series.

http://www.olympusimage.com.my/products/compact/fe_series/

Most people don't consider this model... for some reason, but in my opinion it's a good camera. Check out the link.

Anyway, it'd help if you compare three of those cameras side-by-side to see which one has more pros over the other two.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget: RM 2500
Your Location: Petaling
Preferable brand : Nikon or Canon
Type of photography u want to do : Event and landscape mostly
Any specific models in mind? : dunno anything about camera model. noob.
Any specific features u want? :

If you really are a newbie to DSLR photography, I'd suggest you go for the Sony a200, Olympus E-520, Nikon D60, Nikon D80 or the Canon EOS-1000D. All 4 are really good for starting off DSLR photography.

Have a look at the comparison charts found in this review. Reviews for the Olympus, Sony and Nikons can be found inside there also.

Happy searching.
