me too need answer to the same question!!!

Which means the 3 inch 920k color tilt-able LCD screen which gives to shoot at really low angle and very high angle ..... likewise A550 has featured secondary Live View too which is the manual focus check, a precise focusing feature mode which 100% accurate focus compare to the primary fast focus (4fps continuous shooting) Live View mode.



@alien86 Well A380 was a "downgraded" dummy from the original A350. Although A380 features with dual card slot and HDMI ports which seems good but lacking good handy grip, downgraded battery which is much shorter battery life than the A350 and even more noise than A300/A200/A350 series was given a no-no to them =D

[B]Any specific features u want? :

Type of camera/lens/accesories: Compact
Budget: below 2k
Your Location: Penang
Preferable brand : Canon
Type of photography u want to do : potrait, landscape
Any specific models in mind? : ixus 120
Any specific features u want? : i want to have big LCD >2.5', slim and good picture quality camera, currently i'm using Ixus 860IS, the battery life is very satisfying, but the size is extremely bulky and very thick. Looking for thinner camera so i can bring it around without feeling inside my pocket.

That budget you may get the Nikon D90 Body + 18-55mm Kit Lens >.< if you want a tough body and some semi-pro features

other wise you can go for Canon 500D

I find it quite amusing that no one ever replies to any of the posts asking for advice about point and shoot cameras. People only bother replying to people who want to know about DSLRs. I guess they think point and shoot cameras aren't worth bothering with.

what more, from my research, for dslr entry level, there are only few models to choose from if you want new.

ie. canon 1000d; nikon d3000; nikon d40, etc.

other brands such as sony, olympus, pentax are generally not as popular.

question, do 3rd party lens (sigma, etc) work for all brands (with adaptor or otherwise)? or do they have specific series that is compatible; seeing that each brand have different lens connection.

I think the general questions asked here were more leaning towards the DSLR trend - because DSLR has become cheaper and that the purchasing power of most people have increase.


Yes, agree with you that people are generally following the trend when it comes to choices - only a N or C in their mind. If they could have look beyond that options, they get far more value for their money.

3rd Party lens - have to depend if they have options of your camera mount available. A Tamron lens meant for Canon mount cannot be mounted into a Nikon camera - they're different.

thanks bro

Ive decided to buy a SONY Cyber-shot DSC-W380. Fotokem is offering t at RM999. Is there anyone selling it cheaper out there?
