DSLR Camera
-
Hello guys . I would to ask does anyone know which DSLR cam from the following brand is the cheapest? Erm ranges from Nikon & Canon only . Cuz Olympus (normal digi cam) i use until fed up .
-
Think twice buying a DSLR...cause its very expensive unless you are very rich.
Cheap brands I am not sure...but for DSLR, its to get a good body, lenses etc. Cheap cheap one...in the end you will realise you have to upgrade and you waste $$ again.
Also depends what photos you want to take...
Nikon D80 /Nikon D40x/Sony a-100(anti blurr/shake technology)/ Canon 400D quite good. -
buy lens very expensive wor. and must learn how to control aperture, ISO etc.

Eh? Tamago seems to be a professional photographer .Originally posted by ^tamago^:buy lens very expensive wor. and must learn how to control aperture, ISO etc.
Anyhow i'm just doing a research nia. Wanna know the price of a DSLR. I usually like to take pics of buildings and vehicles (buses) . Scenery maybe as well. 
Anw , learning how to control aperture & ISO , can learn from my fwens.

Cheapest from Canon / Nikon?
Sure.
Canon 350D and Nikon D40. -
No lah. My equipment not pro enough, and not much time to pursue it now.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Eh? Tamago seems to be a professional photographer .

Expect to pay from $1,000 and above for body + stock lens. If you want to zoom further or take macro shots you have to fork out for additional lens.
And different lens behaves slightly differently so good luck, you have to find your spot. -
Hmm as long as pic quality is way better than a compact camera and can do nice effects without photo shopping , its very good liao.Originally posted by ^tamago^:No lah. My equipment not pro enough, and not much time to pursue it now.

Oly more value for money, and the colour tones are great!

I just got an Oly.

Haha icic . Hope Oly's DSLR is better than its compact cameras . My digi cam (which is less than 2 years old) , it has extremely slow focusing and image processing. Model is fe-100. Use until very fed up.Originally posted by latenightmonster:I just got an Oly.
Erm , Oly cheaper than Nikon and Canon? -
To be safe, go for Canon and Nikon lo. Most widely used. Won't go wrong with either.
Some models for you to consider
Nikon D40 or D40x Canon 350D or 400D Pentax K100D Super Sony A100 Oly E410 or E510 -

Oh yeah , the Nikon D40 together with the supplied lens cost less than $1K ?Originally posted by latenightmonster:To be safe, go for Canon and Nikon lo. Most widely used. Won't go wrong with either.

My SP500 has focusing problems.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Haha icic . Hope Oly's DSLR is better than its compact cameras . My digi cam (which is less than 2 years old) , it has extremely slow focusing and image processing. Model is fe-100. Use until very fed up.

Used it for 2 years already. Flash unit is too low, also theres no hotshoe.
When you attach the WCON lens, flash is useless, unless you want a semicircular shadow in all your photos. -
You can get a prosumer camera for that. No need to clean lens, more difficult to carry around and need a special bag just for it.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Hmm as long as pic quality is way better than a compact camera and can do nice effects without photo shopping , its very good liao.

And thanks for the compliments. Lately very busy.

btw hor...Originally posted by ^tamago^:buy lens very expensive wor. and must learn how to control aperture, ISO etc.
will nikon/canon camera shots be ugly/blur if you just use the lens in the kit?
cause they dun have the anti-blur thingy... -
the 350D will do fine and it will not bored u even if u are a prosumer.
when u do crave for more,get a USM and ur rdy to shoot. -
err...i think its because your compact camera old liao lah...actually you can just get a newer digital camera...if you are using it to shoot bus lah...Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Haha icic .

newer compact cameras can take quite good photos.
e.g that my@jas TIB1062Y take quite good photos..sharp and good contrast...
and they are oso using compact cameras only!
they are using Fuji FinePix A330/Fujifilm Finepix F20
seems like Fuji Finepix is a nice brand for compact cameras hor....haha -

yes, if u are using long shutter/exposure. anti-shake lens are almost universally not provided as stock.Originally posted by Y_Shun:btw hor...

u can look for anti-shake bodies but i think it'll be horridly expensive. sorry i dun look too far beyond my camera so cannot give advice.
