Sorry to bump in...

I read @350 is less better cause more nosier.

So my friend suggest @300.

I dont really need Live View, so is @200 = @300 (in terms of everything else other than Live View)

I plan to get the body + Sony 18-250mm f3.5-6.3

Can someone quickly summarize the difference of @200 vs @300 (other than the Live View)?

Buying things and comparing things is always not easy sad.gif

I'm stuck between

Sony @300 + Sony 18-250mm = around RM4k
and
Nikon D90 + Kit lens = around RM4k too

If the body, Sony @300 vs Nikon D90, I think D90 wins based on reviews

But @300 wins in terms of price. For the same price of D90, I can get Sony 18-250mm too

So is like comparing,
a lower end camera with better zoom lens
and
a higher end camera with normal zoom lens

My budget is around RM5k... Sleepless night thinking...

my noob-ish comment:
nikon lens for 18-200 = RM2.5k++
if u haf budget for 5k... get A700!!

I was at the Curve, they said A700 no more stock

Budget of RM5k should include extra battery, bag and screen protector. Ya I know D90 with 18-200mm is off budget, so that is why I'll start D90 with kit lens first

It sure is a hard decision. have you tried both cameras in your hands?

I have not tried D90 yet, but it was highly recommended by my friend. I plan to go try it out today. Hope can find demo unit at MidValley

haf fun hunting~
just reminding u.. u might need UV filter to protect ur lenses.. prices vary from brand.. i'm using Hoya..
i'm going to suggest u to get the A300 + twin kit lens + UV + CPL + Vertical Grip + 1 extra batt + sturdy tripod... wont cost u more than 5k.. since u targeting a travel lens 18-250... which is still in my wishlist to have... cant really says much on the price.. but its good to get it when u buying in bulk with the whole package.. they might sell u cheaper.... just 1 thing... get the accessories at other shop.. coz some sell them at even half price..  biggrin.gif

Last minute make up my mind to take the bomb. So ended up bought D90 + Nikon 18-200mm. Burst budget. Guess I have to bite the bullet sweat.gif
