Correction: There's only 870IS and 990IS. Found out after going to the Wikipedia article.

What's your budget anyway? Can you use the template? We'll know which one you should go for if we have the details.

what is the different between full wide and nt full wide??
gt wat advantages? which lens can capture a full wide photo?

What focal range/lens/camera are you talking about?

Wide's advantage is you can see wide, not wide - cannot see wide lor.

opps..

i think is full frame.. =X

just curious, what's the current price for a new canon 40d?

Hmm? I don't really get what you're trying to ask here, please, can you rephrase?

Around RM2900, as kucing mentioned - I'm not really sure of the price myself.

is it body only? I saw 1 shop sell it with 18-55 sell around 3k.

No, kit.

I think body is around RM2k+... not really sure of the price myself.

Hocan, i think you meant the sensor full frame?
it means the sensor is same size as the film that we use last time.
ie 35mm. the usual entry level DSLR normally will have sensor size of about 22mm that's why it's called crop (eg 1.6x)

2.9k with lense(cheapest). it's around 3k averagely...seriously.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM4000 include kitlens
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon, Nikon, Pentax
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape/Portrait/buildings
Any specific models in mind? : 40D, K200D, K20D, D80
Any specific features u want? : Weatherproof, B/W, beautiful pic lah

40d if u don need HD video, else D90.

beautiful pic ah, better lense + skills lor

lol thx xD
so wich of the lenses for nikon or canon would be cheaper?

ive used the template

Type of camera/lens/accesories : PNS Camera
Budget: RM1k+
Your Location: Selangor
Preferable brand : Canon or anything better
Type of photography u want to do : People, Mostly in Clubs or events
Any specific models in mind? : currently using CANON 860IS
Any specific features u want? : Need something with wide screen

Expensive, both of them are

If you ask me I'd recommend a 40D and the remainder can be used to buy a lens/flash. It'll give you an advantage over those who went for the HD video. IMHO we don't need it.

Second that - BOTH ARE EXPENSIVE

Hmm. I think you should settle for the 870IS then. the 980 is well over your budget.

i think so.. haha.. i nt sure too... just listen from fren say that the full frame is better than the nt full frame.. just wan to knw why~

btw, at "Photography, Digital Imaging & Video" gt Q&A tread? coz.. this tread is for "Wanna buy New Camera? Undecided which to choose?"
and i asking those question nt connected to this tread feel paiseh..

The 2 types of sensors have their respective advantages. But I'm only gonna talk about cropped sensors.

Cropped frame, aka. "nt full frame" have a crop factor, most commonly 1.6x. Which means that pictures taken with a 50mm lens on a 1.6x sensor will be the same(in size) as a picture taken with a 80mm lens on a full frame sensor.
Now why can this be seen as an advantage? This means that we the consumers can use lenses with "shorter" focal lengths to take pictures that are equivalent to pictures taken with a "longer" lens on a full frame camera. Now it's a known fact that longer lenses are significantly more expensive than shorter lenses.

To put things into perspective, one can use a 1.6x cropped sensor paired with a 100-400mm lens at 400mm to take pictures equivalent to 640mm(400*1.6) on a full frame sensor. Now the 100-400mm lens costs about USD1500.
Or, one could use a full frame sensor paired with a 600mm lens, which costs about USD7600.

What I'm saying is that cropped sensors provide a cheaper alternative to photographers.

Adding on, if you want to get a wide-angle shot, on a 1.6x sensor (not full frame) the image is cropped so you get less view from the sides compared to using a full frame camera. If you want to shoot cramped spots, the 'nt full frame' will be harder to accomplish while the full frame will be much easier to accomplish.

I hope you get what we mean.

oh i see... get it already.. thanks yea ^^
