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...

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

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
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

I think both cameras are awesome cameras. Just make sure you enjoy either one in your hands. Listen to the shutter sound too.

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

@auhckw

I also see a trend in shops that will hike up the price of filters when purchased with a package. So, get your filter from a more reputable shop.

Actually for group photos, would it be better to use "Wide" focus area? To get everyone in focus?

You know the WB if off when your black looks dull/grey.

Info to share.

I just bought a Alpha 300 single lens kit with 4GB Sony 133x CF card, cheapo tripod and cheapo small carrying bag for RM1890 from Tarita's roadshow going on at the Lowyat Plaza concourse.
