ngam la terus bagi sa yg lama punya wakakakkaka .. installment 20 bulan pun ok hehehehe
Ok, here’s what we think about this camera after using it for about 4 months:
We compared this to the previous low end prosumer DSLR from Canon:
* Improved low light noise reduction
* Easier to get autofocus and sharper even in low lights conditions
* We noticed that the CF compartment is water proof — this is very practical and critical (so that you dont get a bad CF that got all the snaps destroyed, due to moisture)
* Live view is with autofocus (needs to set, but this is fine), eventhough autofocus auto mode on LV should be a stadnard feature
* Quite heavy!
nah tnuz!
good news ituu…
mr zeno,
DLSRs, Canon EOS VS Nikon D60 VS Sony alpha
apa kah pendapat anda
cicak,
assuming the three contenders are: caon eos rebel xsi (450d), nikon d60 and sony alpha350, my ratings would be: 1st — eos rebel xsi as all round camera, 2nd — nikon d60, best for non-begineers, 3rd — sony alpha 350, best for beginners
purely based on reading the reviews from magazines, and also online.
btw, between 450d and 40d, clearly 40d is the choice for me :-) strange that canon introduced 450d in jan 08; while 40d was back in q3 07.

Haiya, I really need to get one of these oh.
I feel funny taking pictures with a compact camera. The bigger one takes better pictures, and with full control.
Since Sony Alpha is good for beginners, I think I’ll look up for that one lah. I was aiming for the Nikon d60 but since my friend already had that one, I will try other brand; Sony.
I wonder if there’s any quality difference of the pictures taken by different cameras / brands
cicak: what makes a good quality photo?
Maybe not so much on the camera or brands (contrary to what the manufactures’ stands are), and would probably involve these:
- not the usual expected (boring photos)
- good contrast and color i.e. natural light is better than flash, take photos with the right lighting i.e. early morning or evening vs under harsh sunlight
- dynamic photos, natural and not so much of “acted”
- simple photo, less clutter is better so you can project your subject
- sharp, focus on / crop the subject you want to show
- actually even blurry photo is good, if there is a story that is well told behind it.
Most people would probably say the same thing …so I guess, the key is to have photos that can tell a story. I think, that’s are the great elements of making a good quality photo.
Technical qualities: hmmm inda tau la, banyak betul comparison between different brands/model out there. For me, will stick to one and try to learn and be better at having photos that tell stories.

Go for 50D if can wait. 50D should come out on Feb 2009. Else 40D is a good choice. :D
Jayce, thanks for dropping by.
I just read about all the rumours of 50D coming out by early next yr; and even more rumours about 60D by end of 2009! So 70D will be the next one too? hahaha
Probably 40D is the best for learners like us … *decision*decision*
