Which model Nikon are you going for? So you're not buying ieat's 350D after all?<BR/><BR/>Nifty fifty I dunno how much. Maybe $200-ish by now. The 60mm macro one is $730 at John 3:16 though.Camemberuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-62886842260043771402008-04-27T20:26:00.000+08:002008-04-27T20:26:00.000+08:00i went to John 3: 16 today but its closed!! <BR/><BR/>i decided to get DSLR already. most likely nikon. have u buy dslr? heard from leslie u got it already?<BR/><BR/>how much is the nifty fifty lens?<BR/><BR/>regards<BR/>bradladyironchefhttp://www.ladyironchef.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-56892380078051190222008-04-27T12:36:00.000+08:002008-04-27T12:36:00.000+08:00Eliza: indeed, the cost of a DSLR could feed me well instead, but just think - the pics would feed a lifetime of memories! Your hubby also keen? Yeah, it is heavy and bulky, but if he's a real enthusiast and doesn't mind, why not?<BR/><BR/>Lady-i: John 3:16 is not the cheapest but you will not complain because of the fantastic service. Kit lens depends on camera brand/model. If the Canon 400D, I will upgrade the lens because I read reviews that the kit lens sucks.<BR/><BR/>Sammy: whaaaack! hahaha! do you have one too?<BR/><BR/>Singairishgirl: haha, but your photos are still well-loved! that's what matters!<BR/><BR/>Keevy: DSLR, DSLR, DSLR... :P <BR/><BR/>Jaime: the G9 is great! Have seen wonderful shots from it!<BR/><BR/>Nic: Yeah, the 400D is the one I'm eyeing (shown above). And the Nifty Fifty (50mm) lens too. So you're using the Nikon D40X, that is a nice camera too! I asked on your blog cos I noticed your photos of late had a different aura! The magic of DSLRs!Camemberuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-29746156081239831162008-04-27T00:12:00.000+08:002008-04-27T00:12:00.000+08:00i think canon 350D, 400D or 450D are some of the best and affordable ones available..i know of a few food bloggers who use 400D..but with an additional 50mm lens...amazing photographs!<BR/><BR/>as for me, i went for the lowest price at last year's comex and got myself a nikon d40x...very user friendly and the pictures turned out good..and i'm still using kit lens...but compatible lens for this dslr is very expensive...Nic (KHKL)http://www.blogger.com/profile/17523068919917998534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-69760887619114014172008-04-22T09:33:00.000+08:002008-04-22T09:33:00.000+08:00ya DSLRs are so tempting! i m eyeing on Canon G9!Jaime-La-Nourriturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15684506601961288711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-24942460618998118952008-04-21T13:58:00.000+08:002008-04-21T13:58:00.000+08:00Totally understand your dilemma...I have a few frens who keep drilling the word DSLR into me but I have been resisting that 'evil' thoughtKeevy - 小明®http://www.blogger.com/profile/16613354893901276266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-71216208762354840582008-04-20T20:47:00.000+08:002008-04-20T20:47:00.000+08:00That is a gorgeous camera.

And you beat me to writing a post again! i wanted to write something abt wanting a dslr too. haha<BR/><BR/>But the price.. Urgh!<BR/><BR/>And so many people i know of go to the John 3 : 16 shop to get their dslr, must be the excellent services there!<BR/><BR/>Hmm, i cant get DSLR out of my thoughts. How? i think i will get it, just a matter of time though. LOL! If u buy will be getting a entry level with kit lense? Nikon or canon?

I can't get the idea out of my mind! Actually I've been sitting out for a very long while. Even avoided all research about DSLRs just so I won't get tempted. But caved in that day to "just take a look" at the camera shop.Camemberuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-38072378017393843422008-04-19T08:34:00.000+08:002008-04-19T08:34:00.000+08:00I wanted a DSLR at first, for the same reasons. The rush of owning one and the thought of owning one is simply just too exhilarating. <BR/><BR/>but I didn't get it, for the same reasons mentioned! Too bulky and inconvenient. When I go out shopping, i just want something to pop into my bag; unless I'm doing this big time.<BR/><BR/>So I advice you to sit it out for awhile, wait a little while longer and weigh everything before you dive into it.Sammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13109961118179610147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-21779098682630562942008-04-18T22:12:00.000+08:002008-04-18T22:12:00.000+08:00Didally: yeah, DSLR more troublesome to carry!<BR/><BR/>ming: haha, you're right on both counts!<BR/><BR/>southernoise: I cannot afford more lenses!! lol<BR/><BR/>keropokman: I'll probably take photos of Nadine and Jolie first!<BR/><BR/>thoo2: lucky you!<BR/><BR/>xinni: the price difference is not that much these days! :P go for it!Camemberuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-20652935141076114312008-04-18T16:33:00.000+08:002008-04-18T16:33:00.000+08:00i am considering prosumer canon s5 first. dslr is too expensive! cannot afford. *pull hairs*<BR/><BR/>-xinni.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-70112667644162660202008-04-18T16:14:00.000+08:002008-04-18T16:14:00.000+08:00i got a 400D, loving it so much!thoo2http://thoo2.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-69457734574202909912008-04-18T13:47:00.000+08:002008-04-18T13:47:00.000+08:00wondering.. if you get it.. what will you take first? :-)Keropok Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07080519535469962444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-1768886833703514192008-04-18T13:12:00.000+08:002008-04-18T13:12:00.000+08:00wah excellent! now you need a standard macro lens! <BR/><BR/>looking forward to even better pictures!southernoisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09923807764936167366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-29679363373133601102008-04-18T10:33:00.000+08:002008-04-18T10:33:00.000+08:00buying a high end P&S is almost equivelent to getting a DSLR like 400D or Nikon D40X which is an excellent camera as well..<BR/><BR/>as for size..u can get a really nice cam bag..that way, u will want to carry it out. :)<BR/>hahahmingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-51110448266254056412008-04-18T10:24:00.000+08:002008-04-18T10:24:00.000+08:00The price of DSLR now is so much lower now.<BR/><BR/>To me, it's the inconvenience of lugging them around.
