S$1,200 budget for DSRL. MacWin Sep 11th, 09, 03:46 PM #1 (permalink)
[VR-Zone Comex 2009 Forums]

I'm quite new to DSRL, budget around $1,200. Wanna ask any brother sister here for recommendation. I would prefer canon brand since my school has lens which I could loan and use.

I think you should stick to Canon since u can loan lens from school. Lens are not cheap and if u go with another brand, how are you going to fund other lens?

Anyway, if you're going to get one, please check out MS Color in Ang Mo Kio or Cathay Photo in Peninsula Plaza or Marina Square. They service is good and friendly. Most importantly, their prices are one of the cheaper ones in Singapore.
