Camera under Php40K best picks

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 450D12.2 megapixel3″ LCD screen with Live View3.5fps continuous shootingEF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lensKit Price: Php34,000

Olympus e-420 Zuiko 14-42mm ED lens10 megapixel2.7″ LCD screen with Live View3.5fps continuous shootingKit Price: Php33,000
Update: the Olympus E520 kit w/ 14-42mm lens is Php 30,800 at jdGoneMad

Canon EOS 1000D10.1 megapixel2.5″ LCD3fps continues shootingEF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lensKit Price: Php29,500

Nikon D6010.2 megapixel2.5″ LCD screen3fps continuous shooting18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lensKit Price: Php26,500

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.
