thanks sir 3DZONE....do you have photography classes here in AD sir? thanks for your suggestion...

No need classes Sir, search ka lang sa internet ng basic photography nila or kung nandito ka sa AUH pwede tayong mag photoshoot at maturuan....450D rin gamit ko, nagdagdag na ko ng canonbattery grip, canon flash, canon lense 18-200mm. Archi ka ba sir??

Nikon d3000 == Nikon's Worst DSLR — Ever.

bakit di ka na lang mag Nikon d90? .. same na lang din naman ata yun price.

nikon d90 ka na lang!!!

NIKON! NIKON! NIKON!

wala sa choices nya yung d90, kaya canon 450d na!

CANON! CANON! CANON!

o sya sa choices na yan .. eos450d na .. pero masama sa loob ko.. dahil NIKON KID ako ..

Ah ganun ba sir 3dzone pwede pala online learning na lang good idea sir dito rin po ako sa AUH...Yup archi po ako sir...thanks po ulit sir 3dzone....

di mo na kelangan ng classes.. gastos lang yan.
ang kailangan mo lang ay matinding PASSION TO LEARN ..

last hirit..

NIKON D5000 ???? better than Nikon D3000

link for comparison:
http://www.camera-catalog.com/compares/popular/nikon_d3000_vs_canon_eos_450d

pros:
nikon d3000
- ccd sensor (w/ low noise and high dynamic range)
- lens mounting (both full and cropped lens can be attached)

canon eos 450
- 12.4 megapixel (slightly higher resolution)
- live view
- with exposure bracketing (for hdr photography)
- cheaper (introduced 6months earlier than d3000)

right-on decision:
abovementioned pros (except the price) are not too significant between each models so if i were to decide between the two i would base it on ergonomics, my fingers' accessibility to buttons/functions while shooting in various situations. i suggest you test both models at the shop, look out for that 'love is blind' feeling.

long term consideration:
its always good to determine what kind of genre of photography are you interested in. what's the extent of expenses required to build up lenses and accessories for that genre. will this be a 'one-time, big-time' purchase or do you find yourself upgrading your gears in future. i find that nikon offers flexibility (with lower cost) in the long run. you can start with a semi-pro (cropped, dx or aps-c sensor) camera body while building-up with a full-frame set of lenses right away. unlike having canon bodies are limited -- dx body only attaches dx lenses, full-frame body only for full-frame lenses. it's a long topic to discuss, i just highlighted these main point.

Sige Sir Vonlorena, PM mo ko kung interested ka....( OT: active ka rin ba sa UAP-UAE??? )

canon 450d

ito dapa ang choices mo bro
1. nikon d5000
2. nikon d90
3. canon 500d
4. canon 550d

I own a canon 450d, kaso naiingit ako kasi may video na ang canon 500d at 550d kaya I find them better. Pero pag budget pa, go for canon 1000d, wala gaanong difference. good luck!

thanks for the advice sir bokkins...actually sir somebody suggested the 550d to me because of its video options...baka daw later on...kelangan ko na...
bale sir out of the picture na ang d3000...ngayun ay 450d and 550d naman hehehe...
di ko kaya D90 sir...yun sana
thanks for your suggestions sir, sa uulitin po!

Yun, kung kaya mo ang 550d, yun nalang. Maganda ang video kasi nyan. enjoy!
