Thx a lot buddy!
Compare with Nikon D90! Which is better?

I'm about to enter the DSLR world and have decided to get the 1000d. Can the sifus in this thread advice me on the best price that i can get for the 1000d ( of course with the card & bag thrown in). I checked at lowyat but the price(1950.00) still seems to be  the same as last year. Maybe this is the current best price! I dont know pleaseeeeee advice. TQ    

While I agree that some manufacturers (especially camera phone) are trying to mislead buyers by promoting solely the megapixels, we still can't deny the importance of it on a larger sensors.

Example:
- 3MP picture taken with a decent old-skool camera may look nice on screen, or 4R print but definitely not anything larger
- High megapixel photos (given that it is taken with a decent DSLR camera) allows more possibility of cropping

It doesn't make sense for small sensor cameras to have overly high MP (it will look bad anyway), but full frame DSLR like EOS 5D Mark II can totally unleash its sensor potential by delivering a good 21.1 Megapixels. For casual DSLR photographers, the standard 8-12 megapixels should be more than sufficient

Can someone please help me out with some of these questions. My dad is thinking of getting a new compact camera. So these are the few choices. I would like to know what are the pros and cons of these camera.

Canon S90
Canon G11
Lumix LX3

Thanks
