Apologies for leaving out you guys. Suddenly had to rush out.

Prosumer superzoom? Well, you have quite a few choices. There is Panasonic with the FZ28/FZ35/TZ7 and Canon with their Powershot SX1/SX10/SX20 IS. Along with the P90, these few models are the best in the respective category.

Personally, I'd go for the TZ7 because it's a pocketable superzoom, while the Canon SX1 for the quality images. Not sure where the P90 fits in as I haven't used it before.

The LX-3 is a dedicated prosumer. And the sensor is noticeably bigger than the Ixus 200 IS (1/2.3" over 1/1.63"). That's a huge difference.

Unless you need the looks of the 200 IS, go for the LX3. You won't regret it.

These two cameras are on par in terms of hardware specifications, so it gets down to which one appeals more to you. I'll suggest you go to any photo shop and have a play around with these two before making up your mind, cause if I had to deal with this choice I wouldn't know which to choose either. Both are equally good performers in their category.

Yup! a while back.

Btw, the 450D is really cheap now, good idea. Haha. Well, the 18-55 has a minimum of 0.25m. I find the 55 to be too short for my liking, but yes, it's a perfect camera and yes, the lens will be okay. Be warned though that when you step into the realm of DSLRs... you'll never stop craving for more

External flash is something really out of poster's league. It's something you need to learn about, not just attach and snap. Just my two cents, an external flash on an LX3 is pointless. (if the flash mentioned is going to be one of those Nikon SB flashes or a full-sized flash).

juz recommending something so poster can take better pictures of his baby in low light LX3 + nikon SB out of his budget already

u can never go wrong with a lumix...lx3 recommended...regret i didn't get that >.<

Oopss, my mistake... must have read the wrong info on the minimum range.

Yeah, I'm already poisoned with bounce flash and macro and what not......... Me super noob in DSLR wanna fly before can walk....

wanna buy digital camera between

Panasonic DMC FX-48, DMC FX-38, canon ixus 200IS,

which one is better?

Haha. What did you get?

HAHA. Not unexpected.

Slowly, slowly. You'll get to learn everything, don't worry. Only question:

Got money or not?

Kick the FX38 out if you have the FX48 in - it is a lower-spec FX48, that's all.

Now the FX48 and the 200 IS are both very similar in terms of specifications. The 200 IS outdoes the FX48 a little though, you might wanna have a look at that. Other than that it all boils down to personal preference.

i found that FX48 serve longer battery life than ixus 200IS

Want to ask some pro here!!!
I just bought a canon 500d with EF-s 18-200 IS kits
