SLR… Nikon D80 or Canon EOS 40D…
After some further researching… I've decided that I will get SLR first… As much as I like Lomo… It is not the best time to invest on toy camera at this stage…
Now, the decision comes down to 2 choices… Nikon D80 or Canon EOS 40D… The truth is these two are not at the same level comparison… Canon 40D is at the better level and I should really be comparing to Nikon D200 or even D300… but it is all comes down to the budget…
If I can find the Canon 40D at the good price… I would probably go for it… Otherwise, for the price and quality, I can get the lens and body of Nikon D80 for the same price of Canon 40D "just body".
Nikon D80 sounds like the winner!!!
This way, I think I can get used to the SLR first then invest on the better Camera at later years… (Shiiiiii, don't tell my hubby that… he'll kill me… hehe)
With lomo, once the business is stable… I can probably buy it as incentives to myself… I would like to get a fisheye as well… it's so cool!!!
My hubby was not very happy with me buying the camera… He doesn't see the difference between the compact camera… so, I had to beg and sacrificed 2 years of birthday and Christmas presents to get him agree on buying a new camera!!!! Yey!!!!

check the prices on photobuff.com.au - the prices on the 40D recently dropped. Significantly. The canon works better in low-light.

Thanks MP.. I think I’m going for Cannon too… but probably go for the 400D or 450D for now… 40D is a little too expensive for begginers like me… is that your shop??
