Default Need help

Hi to everyone here...

Currently I'm using Canon G9 but think of upgrading to DSLR...

But no idea which to get with my budget (About 1.6K)
And I need something can let me use for years...

Mostly I will use it to take photos at night, children and almost everything...


Any recommendation?

Does the G9 you currently use not give you the shots you want? What do you feel is lacking?

Is your budget of 1.6k including lens(es)?

For day photos still okay... but the speed will be a bit lack...
For night photos cannot make it... A lot of noisy level...
Some effect cannot achieve too...


My budget is included lens.

You may check the price list in the market place sub forum.
IMO, PC show never provide cheap deal.
You may call up CP / MS /TK to ask for the price now. Or just email CP and MS to ask for eQuote.

500D is a good choice, if you like to take movie on G9, and feel that movie function is a good to have.

nope. its better to go to the various outlets which are already mentioned to buy the camera. or you could even consider buying it 2nd hand.

check out dpreview on the 500D's review. it gives a pretty good review about it.
