Sony A300 it is.

Yes - finally. Bought it at Sony outlet in MJ and had to wait one hour for it to be delivered - but it was worth it. I think I had a good deal. For RM1999, I got,

• tiltable live view lcd
• standard 18 - 70 mm zoom
• Hoya UV filter worth about RM130
  
• a high qualit lcd protector worth RM100+
• 4 gigabt memory card
• two camera bags
• camera straps
  
• a fairly stable tri-pod stand

,,and a friend, pickled herring who is visiting my sister, gave me an 8 gigayte memory card.

Once again , thanks Nor and Iain !
