40D's specs are identical to the D90's, minus video, of course. The 40D is cheaper - and will make every penny spent worth as you don't want to spend 800-1K extra on something you rarely use right?

40D RM3400 body only? I recall seeing members buying a 40D kit @ RM3050 & 3200 respectively and that's just recently. Canon price hike doesn't affect camera bodies either - just the lenses.

Yes, it is an old model - but if you wanna save RM2k from buying the 40D instead of the 50D, it is definitely going to make ur money worth.

My comments are just comments - you'll have to do your own researching and molest both, then only you should make up your mind. My two cents.

I have personally experienced using a P6000/LX-3 and I can say the P6000 is kinda user-friendly (I just feel that its easier to control, as in the settings) but image quality-wise I'd go for the LX3.

I don't think I'd go for the G10, it's overpriced and doesn't do any better than the LX3 or the P6000. (in my opinion)

If you ask me, since you're already a Nikon user, why not get the P6000? The image quality difference isn't much, but if you pixel peep, yes, there'll be a difference that is easily spotted.

If you want to try out something new, and don't do flash photography that much, then go for the LX-3.

I hope I've managed to clear your doubts.

What about shutter count? It counts how many times have you clicked the shutter (taken a photo). May I know, what do you want to know?

Anyway, I'd recommend the Canon 1000D alongside the Nikon D60.

Here, you should be able to make up your own mind based on this.

You could consider the Canon 1000D too.

Anyway, the a200 is a value for money DSLR at RM1.4k, but then when you want to upgrade lenses, it'll lose out to the D60/1000D as Canon/Nikon has a wider range of lenses.

Read a few reviews, play with both, and choose which one you fancy most.

hi there ted bunny..
i choose the 1000D because

over D60:
has more AF 4 more points so can choose and get the best focus without doing focus and recompose
no need to worry about lens with motor or not!
has live view (useful only in certain situation)
over A200:
better noise control
more lens selection and some if not most lens are cheaper than Zeiss or what not

A200 advantage: has body image stabilizer

thanks for replying @DecaPix

what does body image stabilizer means ? does it means blur reduction, something like that ? if it is, it would help me i think (my hand shake a lot during taking photos, luckily not Alzheimer or disorder lol) About the lens, my friend told me that too. sony's lens is more expensive apart from that they have narrow selection on lens.

what about AF point between A200 and 1000D ?

@offtopic,
lots of people call me tedd bunny also lol

Type of camera/lens/accesories : hardisk camcorder

Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : jvc?sony?
Type of photography u want to do : Video...
Any specific models in mind? : jvc everio??is it ok?or other brand...help me
Any specific features u want? : for video recording...need with good sound capture and video...help me...dunno about camcorder...

thanx guys...

i think u cant get harddisk camcorder with around rm1000 budget.

u can try below model

JVC Everio GZ-MS90

Panasonic SDR-S26

Canon FS100

Lulz. From outlaw to cute pet

Image stabilizer isnt really blur reduction, Sharpening in Photoshop is blur reduction
IS is god-given mechanism to counter shaky hands.
Lens prices are more or less the same in terms of cost, the good ones are all expensive and you get what you pay for.

if a bit more still consider ok...if used one also ok...but need to know the model which good performance...

ya leh.. haha..

so in terms of performance, A200 aint that bad for its price ? For adding around 500 or so, I can get a 1000D with Live view. Thats it right ? I wont be upgrading lens in the meantime, so i guess for starter, its a good start aint it ?

Body image stabilizer helps to reduce ruined photos caused by hand shakes.

1000D more lens choice, easy-to-use menus, LV, IS lenses, L range...

If you're REALLY tight on a budget or you're a Sony fan then go for the a200 lah. If you ask me though - it can't compete with the D60 and 1000D. Other members' views may differ.

The A200 is a bang for the buck.
I've got some things to say about your choice.
I wouldn't suggest you choose the Canon Just because it has the Live View function over the A200. Live View, although useful in some situations, is more or less a gimmick, strictly in my opinion. I made this mistake when choosing the Canon instead of other brands. Not that I regret it or anything, it's just that I more or less never use Live View while shooting.
What I'm saying is, if you're looking specifically at Live View as a decider to which camera to get, there are a number of other brands out there that have this function too, namely Sony, Pentax and Olympus, not only Canon.
