Looking for subsidy... continued

Recently, i am continuing my survey on few DSLR cameras. I have looked for advices from few friends who really expertise in this field. I just realize that one of my long lost friends is a Lomography fan. 

Actually the word of 'Lomography' is come from a phase 'LOMO', a brand called ЛОМО ( Leningrad Optical-Mechanical Amalgamation) which is a manufacturer of optical instruments, medical equipment, movie cameras, lenses, sound recorders for motion-picture production that based in St. Petersburg, Russia. 
Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic Technique." Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life. 
And i hope that can make photography be part of my life. To capture every precious second in a piece of quality photo, first of all, i need a camera which is powerful enough. On the same time, my friend remind me that to join this field have to dump much money to maintain it. Even the cleaning cotton, tripod or pack have to buy separately as well. Thus, i shall try to collect as much money as well start from now. hahaha..... Below also are the DSLR that under my consideration. 

Cool man! Sony alpha 200

higher budget, Canon EOS 450D!

I'd choose a Canon over a Sony anytime. Sony is expensive, and its lens/accessories all that are priced ridiculously.

Canon 450D is good for a beginner, with LiveView and all. The price is quite reasonable.

But I'm aiming for the Nikon D90 now! :P

I'm still camera-less. :P Currently I'm suing my good ol' camera phone. Aiks, sounds so outdated. Bo huat, no $$$ ma.

D90 is expensive... that's why I'm still waiting... waiting... waiting... But it's got all I want - vid mode, live view, excellent AF, 920k pixels LCD with rip-off features from D300. Hmmm... delicious.

D60 is good. You can't go wrong with Nikon (or Canon) really. They have their own leagues, pros and cons. If you can, top up a lil' for the D80. It's an older model yes, but it still serves a lot of photography enthusiasts very well. Not to mention it's reduced price with the launch of D90 and its semi-pro category as opposed to D60's beginner's category. Canon 450D wins mainly in its LiveView feature. You see whether you need this feature or not...

And one thing for sure, Nikon's colour reproductions are almost always more vivid than Canon's, helps you save time for any photoshop touches.

Also, there are many forums and review websites which you can check it out.
