EF 16-35mm f2.8L II USM
EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM
EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM
EF 300mm f2.8L IS USM

you pretty much cover the entire range which you will ever need.

Maybe throw in some EX580s and a decent gitzo tripod and head

Hi I a newbie to taking photos, should i geta samsung NX10 or nikkon d5000 or eos 500d or sony a550

one is a mirrorless camera

one has no inbuilt motor

the only thing in common is that they can be entry level models.

please decide on what you want, read up more, try in store... or play with friends who have these models.

Dear TS (threadstarter),

This is a good place to start for reading: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=245883

Remember that when you get a DSLR, you are effectively investing in a system. There are camera body + lenses + dry box (if in Singapore etc.)/cabinet + microfibre cloth.

And if you have a camera-savvy friend, I suggest that you enlist his/her help getting a second-hand in Buy and Sell section of CS, or borrow (if possible) from him/her.

you should go to shops and play with them and decide which one you like.
Pointless to tell you what I like, since we may have different tastes / needs / wants / ability / budget / friends etc etc....

All in the right hands are capable tools ...

happy shopping !!
