err..

there's alot of diff between those 2 types actually..the s90/95,lumix lx3/5 is a compact camera..which can easily carry around and put it in ur poket..but the lumix is abit bigger cuz of its lens and additional rubber grip..

the nikon D90 is a dSLR..

so now,u make up ur mind sir,u need a small camera that's easy to carry around

or

a dSLR that takes brilliant pics,but a bit bulky..

as for me,i take my dSLR on holidays..i mean going new places and stuff..

and i bring my compact everywhere i go..

well that's just me

yeah skill is important..lens too

and do take note that dSLR quality image is 'great' compared to high end compacts that's just 'good'

and both of lx5/s95 are user frenly

i was just about to say this

if ur budget is that high,better wait for it

if u're leaning towards the HD video mode, sony's SLT camera's (a55/33) got the best AF so far

got to agree with sniper n zstan

just that with the sony SLT cameras,u might be losing abit of light..by 30%..not that big deal if u dont really mind tho

this is a hard one actually..err

i have read alot of reviews about s95/lx5 so does the s90/lx3..some say s90,some say lx3..its a tie to tell u the truth..

for me,i prefer the lx3 colouring,and the s90's compactness..

i know its not helping..but i think its wut u want..if u want compactness,go for s90..if not go with the lx3..

i oso think that the image quality of D90 is better than 550D..just a personal opinion..or maybe cuz the sensor oso is slightly bigger?and honestly,im a canon fanboy

read this dude..just a lil something - http://www.digitalreview.ca/content/Canon-...Nikon-D90.shtml

wutever that makes u happy bro

D3100 is around rm1.9k in msia..

in pounds?go for the 60D or 550D

just my opinion
