Any specific models in mind? : No idea about all this camera..
Any specific features u want? :

Hmm, no idea what kind of camera that I could get with this budget.. Any recommendations?

1. dark, cannot use flash. It will be Fuji F100FD. But dun expect miracle, ISO1600 can be very much not "usable" for printing purpose.
2. If your skill are good, any of them will do. I still recommend the fuji
3. I guess all the 3 models u mentioned are good in this criteria.
4. Ask yourself, trust ur eyes

I dun remember brand new F100fd for just RM700, should be in the range of RM900+-. F200exr is selling at RM1200

I guess you will not use manual control at all, would really prefer AUTO mode all the time, right?

Scenery, wide angle camera will help.
F100fd perhaps?

Panasonic FX48 may fit the bill, its above RM1k somehow. Fuji F200exer also above RM1k.

If it can take very good nice photos, I dun see any problem in snapping good day photos...no worry.

IQ consider near to dslr? Well not really but its pretty good compared to other compact camera, lose to LX3 perhaps.

LX3 has better IQ for sure but limited by the optical zoom range.
FZ28 on another hand, has good optical zoom but IQ? LX3 better.

If u really need the optical zoom, get FZ28, else LX3.

Alternatively, you can go for LX3 + teleconverter. This won't be cheap....

Can you guys help me? I'm stuck between Canon 1000d and Pentax K2000d. I know that the Pentax has the better build but the AF selection is limited. Will this be a problem? Also, the Pentax has built in IS. Which one do you guys think is the better buy?

-FaR

I was fascinated by my friend's photo. Planning to get a cheap camera to start off to learn the art of photography. Is there any recommendation of what camera is suitable for a beginner in photography? Thanks in advance

edited out: nevermind. hehe thx anyway

LX3 + tele converter? Not bad too.

Well again, an expensive camera doesn't gurantee good pictures,

I have the same dilemma as you 2 weeks before...

I tried out both camera, and at last i chosen the pentax... y?
- canon body is too plasticky for my liking
- i got a deal with twin lens kit, priced lower than canon (thus pentax is cheaper)
- pentax uses AA batteries, which is my preference over proprietary batt

the AF is not a big issue because you can recompose the shot by locking the AF, but one potential issue is that the viewfinder didn't show where does the camera focus, which doesn't bother me as much yet because the pentax focus system is as fast (and accurate) as the canon's. The pentax is loud in focusing and taking pictures, so no candid shot in short range
