Between those brands, at 1k, I would go for the W-series Sony instead of the T-series. Furthermore, you mentioned 1k, and the T700 is much more than that. However, at 1k, the best buy IMO is the fuji f100fd going for RM999/- at the moment.

for fuji f100d u have to trade in in order to get for rm999.as for sony cybershot,u can get cybershot skinny t77

ooo... basically how much diff the price of D60 and D80...

and also the functionality...

If you're just looking for a good camera to shot photos, they both do the same thing.
The D80 is still more expensive than the D60, I find that its more expensive pricing worth it =/ At least more worth it that the 450D over the 1000d. =D

I heard that lens for sony alpha will be more expensive compare with nikon.. but then body for nikon will be slightly expensive than sony alpha.. in long term..nikon will be more economic right?

Trust me, no one brand is more "economical" in the long run.
Once you've commited to investing in lenses, you'd bound to be spending a lot of money on lenses and other what-nots.

Added on January 9, 2009, 11:15 pmwell, as a beginner, depends whether you have been vaccinated from the poison. if you think you have some immunity to the poison, then lens would not be a big issue and when you are no longer a beginner (means you understand all the different lenses and what they can do for you), then I guess upgrading to something else may be in the works. so, don't worry too much ...

i would suggest, what are your friends using? ikut saje ... (but i personally went for the A200 even when non of my friends are using Sony and majority are Nikon with a few Canon users)

Hello guys!
Sorry for the late reply. Have been traveling everywhere and no time to access the Internet

I am now at Vietnam hehehe

Well... at the very end I went with the LX3. Gosh this camera is SEXY! The zoom kinda sux, but everything else just ownz.

And then, I got a little bit nuts and bought also a Nikon D90. This camera is on fire! Maybe I shouldnt have gone for this camera since it's my first SRL, but I am learning slowly.
Hopefully I will be able to post some cool pictures from Sa Pa, Viet Nam soon enough

Cheers and take care

Type of camera/lens/accesories : dslr
Budget: below RM2500
Your Location: kl
Preferable brand : Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : travel, holiday
Any specific models in mind? : -
Any specific features u want? : -

Get a D80 body/D60 kit. For the D80, you can get a cheap lens (can't advice you, I'm a Canon user)

If you want, you can jump over to Canon and get the 450D/1000D. Good choices to consider too.

anyone can recommend me a nice shop that sells sony DSLRs for a reasonable price in KL?

is the Panasonic Lumix LX3 worth the bucks and does it really perform as well as what those LX3 guys been saying? already having a dslr, just need a compact to bring along while travelling

As people say, you get what you pay for.

The LX3 is the best and undoubted prosumer camera. Though it lacks zoom capabilities, it produces superb pictures to compensate.

hey , just wondering .
which is better between EOS 1000D and D60 ?

and which of this two lens would be more pricy ?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Digital camera
Budget : dun care
Your Location : Seremban
Preferable brand : Lumix or any recommendation
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : none
Any specific features u want? : max to 5 megapixels , i'm buying it for my friend

Both are equally superb performers. Depends on your personal preference only.

Both camera's lenses are expensive - there's no one brand that sells 'cheap' lenses.

okay . thanks .
i should be getting one of them then
