I wanted to get a DSLR and start learning how to take good photos and of course i need a good camera to begin with. I need some suggestion from the professionals about which are the recommended ones within my budget. Thanks.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget: 3.2k
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Macro, wideangle
Any specific models in mind? : Canon 40D or Nikon D90
Any specific features u want? :

i suffer to the both model since the price more or less will be the same and the spec D90 are better but i get 40D recomended by my friends so i decided to ask forumer about both of it.

At last I've decided to go for the Rebel XTi 400D as it's got CF! But I still require some more information regarding the whole matter..first of all my price range is 2000-2200RM including every accessories and I guess I would be doing landscapes, portraits and greyscale phorographies as much as possible! so as an dslr entry level, what I really intend to know is like,

1.should I skip the kit lens and just get the 400D body and some other lens along with that? kit lenses are 18-55mm I believe and I don't want any heavy lens stuff as being one dslr beginner.so please suggest guys!

2.And where may I possibly get the best possible deals for the camera,lens and all other accessories in KL?

Although I am not from Kl guys, but still I am trying to get my very first DSLR from there through a friend of mine living there because 400D and 350D models are already discontinued over where I live, which is Dhaka, Bangladesh at the moment.. so please help me out guys! and Thanks a million in advance!

hmm, is KL price cheaper than SG price? because i used to live in KL, and my bro, sis, and best frens are there. so if its cheaper in KL, i can get somebody to get it for me.

@chew which one u using now?

KL is definitely cheaper than both SG n JB..

im using sony fullframe..

a good DSLR for macro and potrait.
how u guys think? hmmm

All depends on the lens you use. That's the advantage of an SLR, the versatility of its lenses to cover every kind of photography.
Want to shoot macro pics? Just screw on a macro lens and you're ready to shoot.

Wanna ask about wat the different between Canon 1000D and Nikon D60?
which one is better?

both of you have almost same specs..u can get d90 BODY only.. So i suggest d5000 with kit lens. 40D is good too...but with ur budget u can only get the body.

Both equally good...go to the shop and feel it. I 'll D3000 build quality better.

1000D better....but d60 has been replced by d3000...so u might want to check d3000 1st.

Any specific models in mind? : 450D, 500D, D5000, D80, D90
