"IS" and "VR" are both the same things.
It's the acronyms that Canon and Nikon use to describe:
IS = Image Stabiliser
VR = Vibration Reduction
SSS = Sony Super SteadyShot
All of them are basically the same function to counteract with vibrations/stabilise...

so which one is better

Type of camera/lens/accesories :  dslr
Budget: 3k - 3.3k
Your Location:   shah alam/ subang/ klang valley
Preferable brand :  canon / nikon
Type of photography u want to do :  macro , landscapes ,
Any specific models in mind? :  450d , 1000d , d3000
Any specific features u want? :  graphic design student, so I need something I can use for my assignments because we pretty much have to make ads for everything ranging from events, foods, landscapes..

*
Ok so I put some thought into it and I have decided to go with the 450D but I am not sure which lens should I be looking into.

Should I get the 450d with the kit lens AND a 50mm f/1.8 prime (if it falls in the budget) OR just get the 450D Body and some other zoom lens ?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Bro, I doubt you'll be able to purchase a Canon 5D with a SC of <5000 including BG-E4 for RM4.5k. sweat.gif
*
we can discuss about the SC and prices , if there is a 5D+BG-E4
seller can give/open their price and tell me the SC + condition biggrin.gif

They're all essentially the same.
Both have 4-stops vibration reduction.

50mm F1.8 is a half-body portrait lens (generally).
If you purchase some other zoom lens, I doubt it's possible get it at around RM300 (50mm F1.8's price).

Good luck in finding, mate. icon_rolleyes.gif
The reason I said SC of <5000 is quite impossible is cause my friend who's using 5D MkII has a SC of 4.8k (as of today) and his 5D MkII is just 2 months old! sweat.gif
Furthermore, the 5D is an old FF DSLR, the SC should be even higher (around 15k?).

Thank you for replying.

Do you happen to know the price for the D450 (Body) in Selangor ? As I said I only have 3k-3.3k budget for the camera and lens and I'm hoping for a combination of lens that would work well with events, landscapes and food (and if possible; some macro shots )

Can you suggest a few good lens I should look into ? ( That is within my 3.3k budget of course, after getting the 450D body)

Do you think the 450D Kit and another lens would suffice for me ?




I am not the type of 'purist' users by the way tongue.gif I don't mind using photoshop to achieve something I can't do with only the camera.

No problem mate, glad to help.
The RRP (Recommended Retail Price) for a Canon EOS 450D Kit Lens (18-55 IS) is RM2799 in KL.
I doubt you can get *a few lenses* after purchasing your Canon EOS 450D Kit Lens (18-55 IS) under your RM3.3k budget.
Just stick with what you have. You could however, get an all-rounder lens but with the sacrificing IQ (Image Quality) which is the EF-S 18-200 IS for RM3,000 (RRP, Recommended Retail Price). If you want another "Macro" lens, it'll be another few thousands. Keep in mind that photography isn't a cheap hobby and upgrade in time. No point buying all the lenses in a sudden and realize you don't enjoy it and waste all your money.
Btw, the price that you'll get in shops like YL Photo, Boeing Photo, Photo Shangri-La will be cheaper than RRP cause we can bargain.
Example: The RRP of a EF-S 55-250 IS is RM1000 but I paid RM800 for it at Key Color, The Garden. Good luck in your choice.

I would definitely recommend the Fujifilm over the Kodak (My previous Kodak, spoilt after 100 pics doh.gif)
However, instead of both the cameras above. I'd like to recommend the very thin 10X Optical zoom, P 'n' S = Fujifilm F70EXR. thumbup.gif
It's thin, it's new (with EXR!) and it's got 10X optical zoom. Just my 2 cents.

The Kodak z712 is a very old camera. It was released on 2007. sweat.gif If you wanna find reviews on the FujiFilm FinePix 1500FD, look for reviews on the FujiFilm FinePix 1000FD instead. The reason is, the 1500FD is a facelift (newer) than the 1000FD but they're essentially the same. icon_rolleyes.gif

1. I'd definitely recommend the Sony DSC-T90.
It's very slim and it comes in pink (great for women).
It has a non-intruding zoom lens.
However, it's Memory Stick and not SDHC.

2. If you want SDHC + Non-intruding zoom lens.
The only other brand (I can think of) is from Olympus.
However, they're MicroSDHC. sweat.gif

Hi TechnoDude94. Thanks for the info.
I do agree Sony is very nice camera. The bad part is the memory which double the price of SDHC.
I fine with MicroSDHC. But any particular model from Olympus?
