thanks alot mate. Dont really get a chance to get near the city these days. Main reason for asking here so I can go to HN etc and know the exact one I want, rather than them sell it to me

 

[aussieant32]

thanks mate, will take a look into that!

I am going to Costco today and will have a look at what they have also for you. and post it in here later today. Just as another point of reference.

thanks alot mate.

At the moment I am still looking at the 100D. $320 with 18-55mm lense or $542 with 18-55mm and a macro lense.

I just want something that I can use to see if taking decent photos is something I get interested in, if so I will happily upgrade to a better camera etc, but not even close to that bridge yet

What I was trying to say is that for 560 you get a lot more value then the 1000D in the price of 400$ you don't really have any other option other then the 1000D or a nikon 3100D not sure what price the 3200D, I will have to check

 

[aussieant32]

I know mate, I get what you were trying to do and understand it, but regardless of value it is out of the range I am willing to spend so value doesn't really matter.

Its the 1100D mate, not 1000 I am looking at.

The Nikon 3100D is around $490 no lenses the 3200D is $800 no lenses

This is in ur price

The 1000d and 1100d are virtually the same camera from memory they just added video to 1100d , the nikon 3100 is a good camera for the price I had a d3000 back in the early days

 

[aussieant32]

the link just goes to the home page? The only one on that site in my range is the Nikon D3100, assuming that is it?

Is that a better buy than the cannon with lense do you think?

 

[MTG]

D3100 435 delivered with a lens, as close as I can get to your budget :rolleyes:

 

[MTG]

Hmm I'm doing this on my phone probly stuffed. Something yeah the d3100 with kit lens

 

[aussieant32]

so you would say the Nikon is better than the Cannon as an entry level?

I think the nikons kit lens is better, I like cannon tho feels better for me to use, your best bet is to go into a camera shop and play with a nikon d3100 and a Canon 1100D then buy online the 1100d online should be about 420-450 to with a lens.

the 1100d is at harvey norman with lenses for $328, cheaper than any I have found online

Really? That's a bargain must be selling them off to make way for the new models (the 1100 has been superceded) I'd get that! I bought my new 6D from Harvey on the weekend they had good specials on

 

[aussieant32]

thanks alot for the help mate, looks like we go there :)

 

[MTG]

Haha he'll yeah get them to do you a good deal on a card to get a decent SanDisk 30mb per sec + should be about 15$ for 4gb

 

[MTG]

What lens are they thinking with it? The 18-55 or Something?

 

[aussieant32]

it comes with the 18-55 but I have a birthday coming up so could put a macro on the list

 

[MTG]

Can't beat 90mm tamron macro 2.8 it's a cheap and nasty lens but it does what it needs to what is take a sharp macro!
