QUOTE(psmalaysia.com @ Jan 4 2009, 09:11 PM) Don't buy entry level DSLR. Very fast you found yourself cannot do a lot of things because the camera limit you from doing so. like? QUOTE(psmalaysia.com @ Jan 4 2009, 09:11 PM) Atleast look for mid-range, a prosumer level. and do you know that by using the word PROSUMER it is almost always pointed to PROSUMER cameras? (yes, the one between compacts and SLRs) |

HHmmmm.....
Me also looking for entry level DSLR...... got the Canon 1000D in my mind for the past few months...... Went to the few shops mentioned here:- CNS - friendly but not the cheapest and if you are asking for 0% credit card instalment..... they will charge you 6% for that..... (No meaning oledi) Lam loong - Too LCLY Hike - So far the best offer and the cheapest but pity dun have 0% for my credit card Nepmatic - Used to have a friend working there but after he left...... turned LCLY A friend said that if dun have money...... dun play photography!! WHAT!! |

actually, whichever shop you go to will offer you low price eventually, if you are regular customer. you need to build rapport with them. if first time you go, you expect the shop to sell close to their cost price, how can? the good thing is, photography is never a one-time deal. you will keep buying and buying and buying.
having said that... i also never go to nepmatic or lam loong. |

lam loong is a lansi company la..i swear i will never go there to buy anything not even if all the shops in Penang close.. Once i went to the fair in Gurney plaza checking out the D60...been totally new with DSLR i tried the D60 for less than 10 seconds and asked the salesman some basic questions.
He was reluctant to answer and acted as if I am not a serious buyer...he then immediately took out the receipt and asked me 'U want ar? i write bill for you now"... what kind of attitude is that. Further to that all Lam Loong accessories are overpriced and they don't nego well..they do like billionaires..but recession i am sure they will fall flat without regulars.. |
