QUOTE(tkhoo @ Nov 5 2011, 05:11 PM) 1st thanks for your reply. I think I only enough budget for D3100 which is ~RM2000. So the lens came with should built in auto focus, right? If D90, then I only can get used unit which I not really know how to check/ test. From your opinion, which 1 you will choose from Pentax Kx and Nikon D3100 which I think about in same price range. Thanks again bro. I would say go for the 1100D since it's actually cheaper than Rm2K. You'll be able to use affordable but extremely value for money lens with it, like the EF 50mm f/1.8 which you may find a lot more interesting than the kit lens.

Behind CnS and the firefly office got one Foto Easycam. CnS and them are close to each other.The Foto Easycam people are higher position and they can offer lower prices. I always go there and get my stuff. She even told me she only made RM10 profit from me!

Watch out for dodgy salesman at fotocam, ICT @ Komtar named william. Tried to convience me that a cheap tamron lens were better than canon lens and was trying to charge 3550 rm for a 600d with 18-200 tamron lens. I'm shopping for a D7000, quotes i'm getting so far are around 3600rm, for a 18-105 nikon lens.

RRP at sony website is rm1299.00. how the hell they can sell it more than sony center price? just make some research before buying.....will help u a lot.

Hello all.. basically the shops that i should go walk around are :
1) Hike 2) Photo EasyCam 3) CnS 4) Mega Star 5) Elite
this 5 shops shud be sufficient for cheap price and service if i am not wrong right..?
or any1 knows how much for 60D + 18-55 + 50mm f1.8 ? what are the freebies included..
and usually how much does it cost for a UV filter and a CPL filter ?
from reading on top.. it should cost around < RM60 ?
