i went to few cam shops already. in terms of settings, i used to canon and manage to change settings quickly.. while for D90 i need to keep looking at the lcd panel for the settings tongue.gif

but somehow i feel 50D is not too ergonomic in my hand. i feel good with D90 more.

with 6k, i can get d90 body, battery grip, extra lens .. (i already have sb800)

while for 50D, i can only get either 50D kit lens with 18-200, or 50D with kit lens 18-55 and speed light .. hmm

RM6k?
I would get the following
- Canon EOS 40D body (RM27xx)
- Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 (RM13xx)
- Canon BG-E2n (RM5xx)
- Canon 580exII (RM13xx)

Then sell off ya SB800, get a 55-250mm IS to cover your tele needs.

D90 - Entry Level DSLR
40D / 50D - Intermediate Level DSLR

after much research on the internet, i plan to buy Sony A300 body only and couple it with Carl Zeiss 16-80. this is my first camera ever. is this a wise choice? or is there any better alternative for the same cost? thanks for advice.
