Hi there everyone. I have some issues here and I'd like you gurus to enlighten me.
You see, I'm getting a decent dslr for my sis as a present. She is going to start her designing course with photography as her minor next year. Would like to get her a set of dslr to help her with her journey. Thing is, my knowledge is limited to compact digital cameras and I'm pretty much useless when it comes to these kinds (dslr) of cameras.

I wouldn't wanna ask my sis what brands and models she prefers because it will spoil the surprise.. So I hope that I could get some help here.
After much surveying, there's a few models that I could get in stores here in Western Australia (and of course, which suits my budget):

01. Canon EOS 1000D Twin Lens Kit (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II and the EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 III) - $1073, around RM2500
02. Canon EOS 1000D Twin IS Kit (18-55IS & 55-250IS) - $1214, around RM2970
03. Canon EOS 450D Twin Lens Kit - $1299, around RM3180
04. Canon EOS 450D Twin IS Kit - $1419, around RM3470
04. Nikon D60 Twin Lens Kit (18-55VR & 55-200VR) - $1077, around RM2630

Sorry if I don't have adequate information, as I don't even know what those numbers are myself.
I have two options, to get from here (Australia), or to get it from KL (going back next month). Also, do feel free to provide more information and also recommendations.

Thanks for reading this long "essay".
Cheers.
