A reader emailed in asking for advise on which dSLR camera to get with a budget under Php40,000. I’m biased towards Canon cameras but here’s my list of possible kits you can buy with that budget.
Canon EOS 450D
12.2 megapixel
3″ LCD screen with Live View
3.5fps continuous shooting
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens
Kit Price: Php34,000
Olympus e-420
Zuiko 14-42mm ED lens
10 megapixel
2.7″ LCD screen with Live View
3.5fps continuous shooting
Kit Price: Php33,000
Update: the Olympus E520 kit w/ 14-42mm lens is Php 30,800 at jdGoneMad
Canon EOS 1000D
10.1 megapixel
2.5″ LCD
3fps continues shooting
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens
Kit Price: Php29,500
Nikon D60
10.2 megapixel
2.5″ LCD screen

My money goes to Canon 450D.
If you have the time, you can check out Hidalgo in Quiapo in the hopes of getting a bargain (if you’re good at price haggling). Mayer’s and Henry’s store are among the most visited there. If you’re busy and don’t want to be bothered for a trip, you can check out several online stores like Gadget Grocery and Kim’s Store in Multiply.
