D90 + 18-105vr kit lens is S$1670 one weekend back. Do your own conversion and compare ?

Read the newbie section for the relation on ISO, Shutter and Aperture. You'll need to know this first.

As for where to get the camera, get it in the country you'll be in for most of the time as the warranty is only in the country you buy from. You'd need to be in that country to claim that warranty.

And read up more on the lens choices, you'd do well with the kit lens and mebbe a 60mm micro lens with a good external flash.
