found out something while i was looking at the cameras.
D5000 is made in thailand! that's a -1.
rebel T1i is made in japan.
not very sure which to get :/

rebel t1i's image quality is not very good, although the colours are not bad.
d5000 beats the EOS on that.
but d5000 does not have AF motor (but i don't need it. DSLR on AF?!)
and d5000's made in thailand.
shall go comex and see how:)
if canon offers zoom lens at a low price, i'll grab it.
if nikon does the same, then see who gives me a flash!:D
