Im currently in australia in the middle of a round the world trip and am getting tired of the crappy 4Megapixel camera Im using.
Im hoping to buy a new camera, something good that I could use if I take up photography as a hobby when I get home.
Im going to South East Asia in february but am hoping to pick up something in australia ASAP. First Question is: Is there a huge difference in price between buying in Oz or Asia (is it worth missing out on good pics in Oz and waiting?)
Can someone suggest a decent camera to buy, Id spend just over AU$1100 (700euro or US$1000). Would like twin lens kit if possible, one of which a 300mm to get the decent distant images.
What camera to buy for trip of a lifetime?

ring "teds" camera stores, or look them up on line...........i worked there years ago, we used to laugh at people would bring in 2 year old cameras they bought as "brand new" in Singapore - if you buy from teds, take your ticket and passport and they will sell to you duty free.......you cant open the package till thru customs though$AU1000 it will be a mission $us1000 you might crack it

USD1000 is a little lean if you want a DSLR with two lenses... how about a Nikon D40X with the kit lens (18-55mm), and add a 70-300mm zoom lens, or compromise a bit and buy the camera body with something like a Sigma 18-250mm lens?
I think that will run a bit over your budget, but not by too much.

If you were in the USA, you could buy a Nikon D40 with the 18-55 lens for $500 and the Nikon 70-300 VR lens for under $500, leaving some money for a suitable memory card. This would be a super set-up for you.
I see Ted's showing a D40 with the 18-55 lens plus the 55-200 lens for a total of $1,099.95. (I assume that is in Australian currency.) It's a shame, as you could have that for lots less here, but it is a good kit nonetheless.

I'm using Sony A100 for a few months and I'm happy with, especially in Thailand' journey. It cost $720 for body with 18-70mm and $220 for 75-300mm. I had no problems with shooting even in damp climate of radon springs in contrast to my friend's Canon XT.

i think it's cheaper in SE asia. things are always cheaper there. There is GST in australia and australian dollar is pretty strong now. So SE asia like singapore, hong kong..etc

$1,000 is a little cheap for a good DSLR with multiple lenses. I would suggest either the Nikon D40 which can be picked up for around $500 - 600 .... plus the cost of additional lens. Or the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 which can be picked up for an average of about $700 - 800. Both are great cameras for hobbiest photographers.

I think my Canon Sure Shot is great, I've taken it on several vacations. The only thing I would suggest is to bring extra memory cards, you never know how many pictures you're going to end up taking. Good luck. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ProductCatIndexAct&fcategoryid=112

You'll probably get a better buy once you get to Asia, specifically Japan.
If you want a good DSLR with a couple of lenses to get you started that will eventually be the starting equipment of a full blown hobby, I would suggest you look at either Canon or Nikon. There's a reason most pros and serious amatures shoot one or the other -- more and better lenses, more accessories, better build quality, maybe not by much, but by enough.
As for specific models in your price range, I would look at either the Canon 400D (Rebel XTi) or the Nikon D40x.
