For DSLRs you not only get the body and kit lens alone. There are other things like dry cabinet, different lenses & filters to consider too.
pardon a ignorant question....is dry cabinet a must?
it's almost necessary for dslr - got moving parts if you get what i meannot unless if you're in a country with low humidity, e.g. Australia. :bsmilie:
If u're in S'pore, u've spent so much on your expensive camera gear, IMHO, it'll be a worthwhile investment to protect your gear.

p&s also should la, but not so, because it's "enclosed"
I wun dare say that p&s cams can be left out. I believe that the lens is subseptable to fungus growth too.
likelihood less though!
i'm lazy, leave my cams in a enclosed cupboard only =D
you mean, your dslr+lens or p&c cam???
i am planing to upgrade to dslr, so must consider the dry cabinet in my budget??
my bedroom is aircond-ed most of the time, so by leaving in the cupboard, will it pose humidity problem??

erm, if dry cabinet is another $100-$200 i think worthwhile to get. but does it need constant electricity to use? like the kitchen fridge? if need then the total costs is much more than just the initial investment of few hundred bux.On most of the time!? :bigeyes:
Aircon breakdown, power outage or when it is off, wun condensation form? :sweat:
Spend thousands of dollars on your equipment, what's another hundred or two to have a peace of mind, knowing that your gear is protected? :sweat:

bro.. chun bo?!? $30 only?? after rebates is it :sweat:no lah, doesn't consume much electricity..just to give u an idea of how much it costs.
my electricity bill is around $30 a month and my usage is:
1 fridge (24 hours)
1 air-con (around 8 hours every day)
1 LCD TV (around 3 hours a day)
Lights (3 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen)
3 laptops (around 2-3 hours a day)
1 dry cabinet

mine is about $50 (excluding water gas everything else) and usage similiar to yours.
anyway i just found some dry cabinet selling @ kallang. typical watt is 12w. that's ok. but not mentioned how much is the cabinet.
