This is a the dedicated thread for everyone out there that need Professional recommendations on buying a new Point and Shoot cameras / Prosumer cameras / DSLRs / Video Recorder

To request recommendation, what u need to post:

Example:

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM4000 include kitlens
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : 400D, 350D, D40, D80
Any specific features u want? : Kelvin WB adjustable, more than 5 focusing points.


Use the template below

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Dslr (2nd hand)
Budget: +-1300
Your Location: n9
Preferable brand :
Type of photography u want to do :event,landscape
Any specific models in mind? :
Any specific features u want? :

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget: RM5000
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : Nikon or Canon
Type of photography u want to do : travel pictures, events, candid
Any specific models in mind? : Nikon D90 or Canon 50D
Any specific features u want? :

Second hand? Why do you want to get a second hand when you can get a Sony a200 at that price?

You just need to top up RM100 and walla, there you go.

Anyway, if you do have a RM2k budget, you will have more choices, like the 1000D or the D60/D80...

Canon 50D, 40D, Nikon D90, or maybe a D300

You should test the D90 + 50D out, both are equally good, so it's all up to your personal decisions. Have a look at their official site and specifications if you still can't make a decision.

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos50d/

Have a look at the comparison chart.

Good luck finding your camera. =)

Type of camera/lens/accesories : pro consumer camera
Budget: 1000-1400
Your Location: kuala lumpur
Preferable brand : panasonic
Type of photography u want to do : landscape, convention , holiday
Any specific models in mind? : fz28

is this camera good?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : PnS, consumer digicam
Budget: 600-800
Preferable brand : Sony? canon? or olympus?
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape and portrait both
Any specific models in mind? : nil
Any specific features u want? : nil

juz nid a simple digicam, im kinda noob in this area, any sifu here can help me

Prosumer? If you ask me, I'd recommend you to increase your budget and get an LX3.

Anyway, there's the Powershot G10, or the Olympus SP565UZ.

http://www.olympusimage.com.my/products/co...series/sp565uz/

There's no link for the Canon one so you have to go to the site.

http://site-my.canon-asia.com/index.cfm?fu...pe=powershotg10

Try the Olympus FE series.

http://www.olympusimage.com.my/products/compact/fe_series/

I think you can get 400D for around that price. More or less.

As for the types of photography, the kit lens should do fine.

@jdreamer:

You serious you can get a 400D for RM1.4K?!?!

IF that's true, I would've got myself a 400D kit + extra lenses already.

dude dia cakap second hand. Theres a lot head over to photomalaysia and photokaki, u'll find a lot

Read carefully before you hentam lah.

Oh. My apologies then. I don't know the used prices well.

hi. can someone give opinion. i have a budget around 800. i'm considering canon Ixus 80 IS and canon a2000is. or anyone have a better suggestion. can anyone help me. any help would be very much appreciated. thanks in advance..

You might try the Olympus FE series.

http://www.olympusimage.com.my/products/compact/fe_series/

Most people don't consider this model... for some reason, but in my opinion it's a good camera. Check out the link.

Anyway, it'd help if you compare three of those cameras side-by-side to see which one has more pros over the other two.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget: RM 2500
Your Location: Petaling
Preferable brand : Nikon or Canon
Type of photography u want to do : Event and landscape mostly
Any specific models in mind? : dunno anything about camera model. noob.
Any specific features u want? :

If you really are a newbie to DSLR photography, I'd suggest you go for the Sony a200, Olympus E-520, Nikon D60, Nikon D80 or the Canon EOS-1000D. All 4 are really good for starting off DSLR photography.

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1000d/

Have a look at the comparison charts found in this review. Reviews for the Olympus, Sony and Nikons can be found inside there also.

Happy searching.

Im really headache on which 1 to choose. Lx3 looks vr promising but the only point concern me is the 2.5x zoom. Pana lumix Fz28 however not so sure on the photo quality but with 18x zoom.

on list:
Pana lumix lx3
Pana lumix Fz28
Olympus SP-565UZ
Canon G10
Canon P6000
Fujifilm FinePix S100fs

really need some suggestion on the prosumer camera.

This post has been edited by mONSTers: Nov 29 2008, 09:43 AM

thanks!
i made up my mind. will go for nikon D90.
new camera for the new year!!

Both can be said to be equally good... =/

Picture quality is good, but one letdown - the W150's charger supposedly charges batteries to full in 4.5 hours

The AF motor in the W150 is slightly better than the IXUS.

Ok, that's all I can get. =/ other than that both cameras are really identical in terms of performance.

Ok, sure, no problems

With RM4k you could get yourself a few. Mainly:

Canon EOS-40D (used, most probably)
Canon EOS-50D (used)
Canon EOS-450D (new set)
Nikon D90 (new set)

I'm not sure of other brands but these two are quite a good choice.

I think you should Google and read some reviews on these few first.

Olympus possesses the longest zoom range, if I'm not wrong. 20x.

You can try to read some reviews about it. Frankly, most of the decision-making counts on the pros and cons of each and every camera.

In my opinion I think the G10 and the P6000 loses out slightly to the Panasonics, while I have no idea about the Fujifilm...

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0807/08072102panasoniclx3.asp

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0807/08072104panasonicfz28.asp

Have a look at both. =) and compare the specs. If you still can't find your choice, then look for pictures taken by the LX3 and the FZ28. That'll enlighten you on how well the camera works in certain environments.

Good luck trying to find a good deal then. =)

If I'm not wrong, you could try to scout deals from Fotokem or any photo shop out there - go in, ask the price, and say 'Ok, thanks, I'll consider the price and if I do want to buy it, I'll come back'.

thanks man. will do that over the weekend.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget : RM2000
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon, Sony, Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : any. pick and shoot mostly.
Any specific models in mind? : none
Any specific features u want? : powerful zoom

the powerful zoom you wan is lens dependant....
since you are asking for a dslr.

if you're not too sure what you are asking for? mayb you shudn't jump too fast...
try prosumer.

Pick and shoot? Then it'd be best if you stuck to PnS cameras.

Most people keep going for DSLRs thinking 'ooh they can zoom real far' and 'ooh they take super cool pictures, i want one'.

What they don't know is another world exists behind these black boxes.

If you really are into this world... then go ahead, but if you just think like what I've quoted above, you should really stick to PnS cameras. DSLRs aren't like PnS cameras. They're totally different.

Ok, enough lecturing, if you really want one.. then it's your money, your choice, I can't change it.

Anyway, with RM2k, you can get:

Nikon D60
Nikon D80
Canon EOS-1000D
Sony a200
Olympus E-520

It's best if you read the reviews and see which is best for you before considering.

Anyway, if you want a powerful zoom, you will need to get extra lenses. Even the cheapest is RM1xxx. (not including 55-250 IS) So, consider it before even thinking of venturing into the DSLR world.

jeez...thanks for the 'lecture'. mebe ill just stick to my PnS for the time being.

Hi,

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR

Type of photography u want to do : landscape, portrait, building structures, people

Hi, can somebody help me in choosing between canon ixus 960 and powershot a1000??

Thx.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR

Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon 1000D

Any specific models in mind? : none
Any specific features u want? :
since i have a LX2 now . if i get canon 1000D is that worth to have it???

No problems. =)

The D40 is good - but consider another one - Sony a200. =) RM1.4k.

http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_review...on_a1000is.html

http://www.cameras.co.uk/reviews/canon-ixus-960-is.cfm

Have a look at the reviews, compare the specs and see what appeals to you most.

If you really want a DSLR, there're many other choices you have, mainly:

Canon EOS-1000D
Nikon D40
Nikon D60
Nikon D80
Sony a200
Olympus E-520

You might want to read a few reviews and see how things look like to you. Personally I think the 1000D wins in the entry-level category. (because I'm a user of it, of course)

Hello... Im going to buy a Canon IXUS 860IS new set but i don't know how much it its... Currently the market price for this camera is how much? (including everything)
Anyone knows?

Hi, i have a budget around 700+ i am aiming for olympus as i still hav spare XD cards so i am thinking of getting mju 840 or 1040 but the 1040 does not have any optical image stabilizer. Would it make a lot of difference? Also, the mju 830 is better den the 840 is it? I am actually looking for an all round camera whereby i can take my pics anywhere and i do want the stabilizer to be good...

If brought over from conversion, should be around RM900...

Try scouting every camera shop you see and ask them to quote a price for you, remember it, and go on. Keeping a list would be good.

Later on, when you get home, choose the cheapest and if you still aren't happy, search again. =)

Olympus FE series.

http://www.olympusimage.com.my/products/compact/fe_series/

Cheap and suits your need - dual IS. =)

P.S.: I guess Olympus FE is really a good camera, you can't deny it...

you shud compare 860IS with lumix fs5.
i sold to a customer once.... she end up wanting to buy the fs5.
i jus did some picture taking n printing test

Hello everyone,

Is there any local sites that sells the above model online?

Thanks in advance

Hi WandererX,

FYI, for new 1, rm2k (neo_01 budget <rm2k) can't get D80 and E-520, barely get D60 (may nd to top up rm100-200).

Edit: E-420 shd be some where 2k if not mistaken. All I mention is NEW... coz i not familiar with 2nd hand price...

This post has been edited by richochb: Dec 1 2008, 09:46 AM

Shashinki.com sells it... but it's kinda overpriced... so I'd recommend you to scout around your neighbourhood's photo shops and let them quote a price for you. If you can, bargain in a few freebies to help yourself =)

Oh, thanks for the info - I'm not sure about the Olympus' prices.

Anyway, the 100-200 can usually be bargained off the seller one.

Hi. newbie in photography..need some recommendation

Type of camera/lens/accesories : entry level , anything that's relatively good (2nd hand only)
Budget: mm how much for a used entry level camera? (err around rm600 )?
Your Location: Subang Jaya/ PJ
Preferable brand : Any
Type of photography u want to do : General, mostly on scenery
Any specific models in mind? : newbie here, D40 recommended?
Any specific features u want? : -

* We like: Build and styling, decent feature set for the price, flash performance
* We don't like: Slow operation, poor low light performance, auto white balance and metering a bit flakey, proprietary xD card format

It's mostly subjective. People have different preferences. If person A doesn't like this camera, obviously there's another person out there who would like it.

It's all up to personal preference. If you choose the Olympus, then that's your choice - if you choose the Canon, it's your choice also.

What we do here is to show you the available choices you have, not the camera you should buy. We aren't salesmen here - we don't bias on a specific brand.

Base your accusations on a firmer ground next time.


Entry level? Do you want a PnS or a DSLR?

If DSLR, it's kinda impossible to get a D40 at that price (I think)...

For entry-level DSLRs, based on a RM2k budget, you can get:

Sony a200 (1.4k for kit, 2k for twin kit)
Canon EOS-1000D (2k for kit)
Nikon D40 (1.xk for kit, most probably used)
Nikon D60 (2k for kit)
Nikon D80 (2k+- for kit, used)
Olympus E-520 (2k+ for kit, used/new, not sure)

If you're looking for the most value for money one, get the a200... and if you can fork out 2k, ... read reviews of the above mentioned.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR/PnS
Budget: ~1.6k
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : canon, nikon, panny
Type of photography u want to do : hdr
Any specific models in mind? : lumix LX3
Any specific features u want? : AEB

Note that HDR can only be achieved via software generation.
And if you're not planning on taking 3 or more exposures of the same picture, it's wise to get a camera that supports RAW.
That way you get to 'cheat' and are able to generate a HDR image with the single RAW file.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : PnS
Budget: 1-1.1k
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : any
Type of photography u want to do : general use
Any specific models in mind? : nikon s710, olympus 1060

what do you guys think? need respond asap. thx!

Thanks for your reply
Its rather unfortunate that i am at UK and the camera is a gift for my girlfriend who lives in Malaysia.

Your Location: Klang Valley
Preferable brand: Lumix or Canon
Type of photography u want to do: All Rounder
Any specific models in mind?: Canon Powershot S5 & Lumix FZ28
Any specific features u want?: Not really, maybe a good burst mode?

I'm still new into photography and I still don't want to step into the DSLR world.. YET.
But I guess I just want something solid enough as a start but without the high price tag.
I've already had a little bad experiences with Sony so I guess that's out of the picture.
Please do suggest any other models that fits into my list and I'll take them into consideration as well.
Thanks all!

Type of camera/lens/accesories: Compact
Budget: about RM1000.00
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : Panasonic
Type of photography u want to do :
Any specific models in mind? : Lumix FS5
Any specific features u want? :

If you're already well off in PnS and you want to move on, get a DSLR.. but if you're still not ready to venture into DSLR then get the LX3. AEB is a feature available in every prosumer/DSLR camera.

Oh.. you could ask your friend to get it for you then.

Ok, if you think it sucks, then it's your opinion.

Increase your budget a little more and get the LX3. The best prosumer around and trust me, you'll be happy about it.

Anyway, if you really can't, have a look at the PowerShot S5 or the FZ28. These should be around your price range.

If you can increase your budget, get an LX3 because there's not much choice in the prosumer range. Anyway, you could stick to your choices - but you should play with each one first. I've never used both so I can't comment.

Type of camera/lens/accesories: DSLR
Budget: about RM1500 - RM2000
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : CANON or NIKON
Type of photography u want to do :
Any specific models in mind? : NIKON D60 OR EOS1000D
Any specific features u want? :

My Questions:
1)What is the price for above two models?
2) To which place i must go for a good price.
3) Usually with a purchase what other accessory will i get? (memory card, tripod, beg) <--will i get those?

Panasonic Lumix LS80 + 2G SD card + camera case + Vanson charger & batteries + screen protecter + Nikon tripod = RM 520

Good bargain or overpriced?

D60 is around RM2k for new kit. 1000D also.

If you want, might help to consider a200.. RM1.4k for kit, and RM2k for twin kit set.

a350 is RM2k+ for a kit set.

The price is ok, you probably earn a few extra dollars from that. If you cant find a better deal, get it.

Thanx, dude!
Quite dizzy choosing the right DC which bangs for my bucks.

Anyway, the extra money is topup to get those items, but if china brand chiplak stuff, then don't get it. You're topping up quite a bit there.

Which place is the best for me to get good bargains at good price also reliable?

@sQew:

It depends on what you're looking for.

What are you looking for?

Quoting from my earlier post:

Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : CANON or NIKON
Any specific models in mind? : NIKON D60 OR EOS1000D

My Questions:
2) To which place i must go for a good price.
3) Usually with a purchase what other accessory will i get? (memory card, tripod, beg) <--will i get those?

Really??
Meaning that without the freebies, I'd be able to purchase it with lower price?

That, I can't tell you - I ain't a price surveyor of camera shops, but there's one thing you can do - invade every camera shop you see. Ask them to quote you a price. After doing so, bargain kao kao... Ask them to give you this and that, and if the deal still doesn't please you, walk out. It's your right as a buyer.

Just as a side note: I got mine for RM2000. Inclusive of free Class 2 Sandisk SDHC, cleaning kit (cloth, liquid, blower etc), extra battery, and extra sling bag. Oh, and extra UV filter.

Lower yes, but not sure how much the shop owner will give you loh.

Thanks TheWandererX. Really appreciate it. BTW, im in singapore now just want to compare the price with KL. Now decided to buy in KL instead, coz here after convert price in KL much more cheaper. Eg. EOS1000D here is SGD1099 with a 8GB Mem and original beg.

This post has been edited by sQew: Dec 3 2008, 05:21 PM

Which one better? Nikon Coolpix S550 or S210?
Is there any better camera i can get the same price? Any brand will do.

hi all, i'm planning to buy a camera for my daughter for christmas. she has shown a lot of interest in photography. she handles my current camera (canon s1is) with ease. as a 1st camera for her i dont want to get a very expensive one. are there reasonably good ones for under rm500?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : any
Budget: under rm500
Your Location: pj/kl
Preferable brand : any
Type of photography u want to do : normal
Any specific models in mind? : any
Any specific features u want? : uses aa batteries, image stabilisation, preferably uses sd or cf memory card

thanks in advance.

I feel that you ought to get a camera which uses Li-ion batteries. Although AA batteries are indeed easily obtained, they certainly do not last as long as Li-ion batteries.

I've walked into quite a number of camera shops.
Found out that these items are within your budget. I think you may take them into consideration before purchasing any.

Canon Powershot A470
Nikon Coolpix L18
Nikon Coolpix L16
Panasonic Lumix LS80
Kodak c813
Fuji A850

The brand Pansonic Lumix good or not??

It depends on which part of both cameras you like more. Also known as personal preference.

In my opinion, most cameras around your range are almost the same... It's just that some have different features... while some don't. It really is up to you to choose.

I think the L18 and the Lumix LS80 would appeal to you most. These two are ok-ok cameras for their range. About the others, I've never seen or used before, so I can't comment.

Anyway, no problems mate. =)

Depends on which model you want. Just a note: low-end to mid-end Lumixes lose out in JPEG processing and low light photography.

Hi all...

Just wondering if anyone has any comments on Canon's TX1... thinking of getting one.

Thanks.

Type of camera/lens/accesories
Digital Compact Camera. Beginner here.

I don't know 99% camera stuffs. Any would do i guess. ( As long as its good )

Most probably landscapes, takin pics of wildlife, actions ie sports, and for school use. ( College )

Any specific models in mind?
Now im thinking of the Canon SX110 and TZ-5 .

Any specific features u want?
Nice pic quality and a superzoom =D


Going to college next year, so i figured a camera would do me good. Anyone have any "SPECIFIC MODELS" i can have a look at ?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget: 2k (currently in progress)
Your Location: KL, MIRI, Tronoh
Preferable brand : err. dunno
Type of photography u want to do : event, candid, landscape, people,
Any specific models in mind? : dunno
Any specific features u want? : err...

planning to buy before mid year 2009
will ad budget depend on better stuff recommended by LYN ppls..

want to ask..

with kit or body only what thats mean..

and what accesories that needed? tripod, flash and?

and y flash so expensive ? huhu

hehe.but LX3 and FZ28 is over mu budget

Kit: Camera body + another lens.

Body: Camera body only.

Anyway, the entry-level DSLRs are:

Canon EOS-1000D - Kit 2k
Sony a200 - Kit 1.4k, Twin kit 2k
Sony a350 - Kit 2k+
Nikon D60 - Kit 2k
Nikon D80 - (used) kit 2k
Olympus E-520 - (used) kit 2k

You'd be better off choosing a new set, but I just quoted the others for your reference.

Anyway, twin kit is camera body + lens + another lens. = 2 lenses.

Try to squeeze in a bit more lo.

A tripod is great if you have lots of time to set up your camera and stuff to get a sharp photo. But for candid shots, you can just forget about that tripod But still, a tripod albeit a cheap one is still useful to have just in case there's a need for it.
Flash expensive eh Well it's just the way it is then. But once you've ventured deeper into the DSLR world, the price of a flash is nothing compared to lenses

Type of camera: the cheapest and good
Budget : below RM500
Preferable brand : Canon/ panasonic
Type of photography u want to do : indoor & outdoor, night scene.
Any specific models in mind? : stil none
Any specific features u want? : Optical/lens Image Stabilizer is a must, video recording with sound.

Any suggestion? and where to find the pricing?

Hi, been checking the thread on dlsr.. just wondering which one should i aim for ? I heard body alone is not that so impt as the lenses is the thing to consider.. btw, i am new and wana play with dlsr
Get to read the good comment among these modals..

A350 | EOS 50D | 1000D | 450D but i am not sure which one to choose.. hmmm .. in case if the lenses plays big role in buying a dlsr, which do you guys recommend ?
thanks



Type of camera/lens/accesories: A350 | EOS 50D | 1000D | 450D
Budget: around 3K
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : no idea .. canon or sony "D
Type of photography u want to do : open .. should meant for Landscape
Any specific models in mind? : 450D ?
Any specific features u want? : no idea

For that budget:

A350 = new (twin kit RM2.8k (i think), kit RM2k)
50D = used (RM3k)
1000D = new (RM2k)
450D = used/new (not sure)

Anyway, I dunno where I saw it, but you have to consider a lot of things before you buy a DSLR.

1. Availability of 3rd party lens.
2. Availability of 3rd party used lens.
3. Price of lens.
4. Portability of lens (if you want to upgrade to a better DSLR later)

I'm not sure, it's something like that.

It's up to you to choose, but I'd recommend you to get a new set.. and you left out a few - the Nikon D60 and D80.

D60,D80 and 50D should be diff right ?
i think the latest should be D90 which it seems the budget is over for me
wow.. just read one more review on comparasion between A350 vs D80, seems Sony is a bit behind...

Guys I'm new here, and I'd like to request so suggestions in terms of what digital camera to get.

I currently own a Canon SD1000(7.1mp) and have been using it with very satisfactory results. I also own a Nikon DSLR D40X, which I use to practice certain shots with. My question is this. I'd like to get a slimmer point & shoot camera with good video options. Basically the SD1000 fits snugly in my pocket when I'm out around town and in clubs, but I'd like something even smaller and slimmer that has a good video function so that I can take videos as well. I suppose the length and duration of videos are dependent on slot memory so I'm not too concerned about that, but I would like 1080p functionality if possible. I'm actually willing to settle for better video quality over picture quality(as long as it's above 7mp).

What are your thoughts? is it better to just get a camcorder instead or is there a point & shoot camera that's good in terms of video recording? I'm in the States so the price range would be somewhere around:
250.00 USD=909.683 MYR. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm planning to buy a compact camera budget between RM500.00 - RM600.00. Either Nikon, Sony or Canon. Can anyone recommend me a good one?
