ahhh...thanks alot!

how bout Powershot SX120 IS, since u r familiar with photography, this 1 suit u coz it has full manual control...
regarding flash, there is some tendency to capture image that is underexpose and blur due to hand shake cause by slow shutter speed if u dun use flash...

ixus normally only got 3x zoom and seldom goes below RM800...
this 1 fit in ur budget... Canon PowerShot A1100IS
or u wan to stretch ur budget to get this, Canon Powershot A2000IS 10MP...

how bout canon brand? this ---> Canon IXUS 95 IS
good night image is depend on shutter speed and aperture control...
the longer u open the shutter then sensor is expose and capture more lights...
if u wan wide then choose Canon IXUS 200 IS, this has 24mm

less than RM500...

take G11 or LX3...

nikon COOLPIX S220
but dun pick the canon powershot A480 coz it does not feature image stabiliser

budget too low... increase it to rm500 then u can get the nissin Di622

i will choose canon coz it have 5x zoome available as wide as 24mm...

both Canon and Nikon has its own unique...
however if u wan more zoom i suggest Nikon...

it cater different segment, IXUS for more simple and easy control and stylish while powershot have more control to play with...
choose ur own whether u wan simple and more control ability

shashinki selling at rm1655... outside shop maybe around 1500~1600

i suggest u add in more brand to widen ur selection...
dun choose olympus PnS...
Nikon coolpix S570, sony DSC-W180 and the panasonic that u choose

i can only provide canon and sony coz i have some experience with there 2 brand PnS and both give impressive image...
Canon IXUS 870 IS, 10MP and wide 24mm available with 4x zoom
Cyber-shot T90 but i prefer canon

same as above

i also using the 860IS and all IXUS line have similar dimension PnS... including my previous IXUS 55
if u wan slim then choose Sony cybershot... it is super slim

i have been replying to PnS post previously but last week went back hometown with no internet access...

but dun u think most of them asking the similar question? i also feel bored with this frequently repeat question...
90% of them are the same... 1000D with D3000, D5000 with 500D...

sony control its own price... that is the disadvantage of sony product...
even gap price vary little only from each shop to each shop...

wow... it is a discontinued model...
happy searching... consider canon powershot S series like S3IS or S5IS

forumer goldfries does a lot of food photography. u can try PM him ask for his recommendatios

Type of camera/lens/accesories : digital camera @ pns
Budget: below 899
Your Location: kuala lumpur
Preferable brand : Canon, sony, lumix, ar anything
Type of photography u want to do : simple, night mode,
Any specific models in mind? : idk
Any specific features u want : - anything, just want the camera to fit my budget

but i don't want a dslr. How to fit in my bag and my tiny hands? HOW TO CAMWHORE?? Tak boleh la

I'm just checking and narrow down my choice to Ixus 120 and Sony TX7

I saw new sony have many nice feature including the paranora shot and 10's photo shotting within 1second.
but the only spec disadvantage is the F value start from F3.5 but Canon have F2.8

The canon also have advantage of smaller size too but sony 24mm where Canon only have 28mm wide angel lense.

Do u think i should get the LX7 instead of Canon 120? How's the night shot quality compare between this both camera. I realize Canon Ixus image tend to like more soft type, the color is not sharp as other camera.

wat is that?
i only can recommend new, used price u need to survey at garage sales...
and for RM500 frankly said u have little selection only, either go for nikon coolpix S220 or Fujifilm A220 bcoz both have image stabilisation

compact and slim PnS is a simple PnS yet stylish... no panasonic around RM1000 range
canon IXUS 95 IS or nikon COOLPIX S640 or Sony DSC-W230
about flash, its based on the environment... not the camera
if bright scene u have no problem as PnS will set a fast shutter speed
if night scene or indoor then u have a very slow shutter speed, like 1s

advice: longer zoom lens with focal multiplier more than 3x to 5x will give soft image...
powershot SX110 IS, Pana Lumix DMC-TZ15 and the model that u mentioned...
for night landscape or fireworks u will need tripod, handheld is totally not recommended...
bcoz all these setting need a small aperture and longer shutter speed like F8-F11 and 10sec

nissin Di622? less than RM500 but i dun know it 3rd party supply for G11 or not

Canon Ixus 80 IS, nikon COOLPIX S570, Sony DSC-W190 or Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15K

just remembered maybe u can choose back canon Canon Speedlite 270EX Flash...

then i choose sony bcoz wide more appealling for me...
generally people said canon produce more natural color but it is up to ur preference whether do u like canon color...
