or should i get normal 10 to 12 mp camera from panasonic or canon which caN record videos in 720p?? like Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS or panasonic lumix fx-500? or canon 780 powershot(new model)

Type of photography u want to do : Mostly Everything except Macro and Astro.
Any specific models in mind? : EOS 40D, D40, Canon 1000D
Any specific features u want? : 3 or 3.5 fps.

You mean more than 1500 or less? <1500 or >1500?
If less than, D40 might suit you. I am using it also. Dont look down at its 6.1mp, it never fail me.
Both 40D and 1000D are out of your budget if you are finding <1500. D40 is RM1600~1800, but i believe you can find RM1430 one in garage sales.

The you might want to consider either the D40, D40x or D60.
There is a D60 going for cheap, RM1.1k for body only, contact synthesia.
There's also another D40x body going cheap, only RM1k.

40D is definitely out of your range, maybe a 400d will be a possible find. Thats not a bad choice to consider as well.

If you fancy nikons, get the D90, no regrets.
If you wouldn't mind a Canon, get the 40D.
Both are equally good cams, the 40D is much cheaper now though compared to the D90.

yes go ahead with the 40D..it is a good semi-pro camera but this model has been replaced by a newer model - 50D, nth much improvement so 40D should do fine. If u r new to DSLR..i suggest you to shoot with the kit lens first and then slowly upgrade.

2000 can only get you to Canon 1000d, Sony A300 and Nikon D60... These are all entry-level cameras, they all do fine. Go to the shop, grab them and feel them. After that see which one you felt the best and go for that! From my experience, D60 and 1000d grip are kinda small, thats why i went for A300..for some reasons i still like nikon..so i upgraded to D90 after that. Dont take my experience words too seriously...go feel them~!

You could try Pudu Plaza. A walk from Berjaya Times Square. Exercise skit la.. XD



Sony T900 is a good camera, but you may want to check out the Panasonic Lumix LX-3. It will around your budget and will perform great indoor and outdoor. The iso performance is superb, and one of the best for its kind. But if you're really fancy for super compact, The Sony T900 would be really great. Nipis maa.. XD



Well, never heard of this "cannot use a lot of lens" thing before. But, the Nikon entry level, D40 and D60 may lack the choices of some lenses since they doesn't have built in focusing motor, but still the choices available is a lot and not to mention the 3rd party one.

For your kinda budget, you may want to check out the semi pro DSLR since you had already knew the basic photography. I would say Canon 40D(RM3000 body only), or the newer 50D if you throw in extra budget (RM4000(body)-4300(body+kitlens). But 40D is already good enough plus you can save the extra money for future upgrade or spent it for a flash gun. Use the kitlens to familiarize first. Then you can buy extra lens if you feel the need for it. (example: If you're really into panoramic, you can buy wide angle lens).

The Sony a700 (RM3200 body only) is worth a look also. It sport a bit higher resolution than the canon 40D and a built in anti-shake facility, but it lack the Live view and the burst speed is somewhat slower (5fps vs 6.5fps). But with a little bit of firmware updrage (to V4). The ISO performance is really GREAT! Some may even consider it to match the Nikon D300 ISO performance. But, the choices of lenses are still limited for the time being as the sony are still in the phase of rebadging the Minolta, Konica Minolta, Tamron lenses. But still, there is a lot to choose from.

The semi pro of Nikon is out of reach for RM4000...the D300 is around 6000+++.. But the D90 is worth a look. They have this video mode. I never play with Nikon D90 before so can't tell you much.

Feel it in your hand and choose the best that suits you!

just get the fujifilm f100fd, the best compact under RM1000, google for some reviews
