I am looking out for an SLR digi camera. Which is the best brand i can go in for at a moderate rate. What are the places in Singapore where i can check out for SLRs?

How about waiting for the Canon EOS 300D (6.3MPixel) to be released? Check out www.canon.com for more details. I heard its going to be US$999 but S$1,999 in Singapore.

depending on whether you are looking for a SLR or a psuedo-SLR here are a few options. if you want a SLR then there is realistically only one option. canon eos 300d [also called canon eos rebel in the usa]. this is "almost the same" as any other higher end digital SLR. there are a few draw backs. for one the case is made of plastic. BUT that did not putme off - i bought one and i am very very very happy.

if you do not need a SLR, but SLR like functionality - then why not try nikon coolpix 5700 or the sony dsc f828 ? they cost almost as much as this canon eos 300d but have a LOT more features.
