QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Dec 11 2009, 04:34 PM) dont let people come up to u n say "brand X not good". different people different taste, n olympus has been making cameras for decades already. almost all digital cameras can take decent pictures, so if u like the FE-5020 i suggest u go test it urself...if u're happy with the photos, menu, price, then go buy one..its ur own money By the way, thanks for ur info... Ya, I would certainly try myself for that. zoom is the range of the nearest and furthest focal length of the lens. usually 4X can zoom further than 3X, but sometimes this stuff is tricky if u're comparing between different brands. again, go to a shop n try urself. that's always the best way Should be try different brand stuffs before buying it... Just take times, haha ^^ |

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Semi-Pro
Budget: <RM1,700 Your Location: KL Preferable brand : Any Type of photography u want to do : Landscape, portrait, macro shot Any specific models in mind? : Canon Power shot SX20IS Any specific features u want? : Manual focus, continuous shot, HD video recording. Any other brands and models which is comparable? Please advice. TQ. If anyone could suggest some honest camera shop around Low Yat, Sg.Wang and Mid Valley? Currently I found Canon give away the 1+2 years warranty for the camera but sell more expensive in the Canon shop. If I choose Canon, shall I go to canon shop or other camera shop? |

QUOTE(jensonpei @ Dec 13 2009, 02:27 AM) Type of camera/lens/accesories :Â Semi-Pro Regardless of where you purchase your Canon camera, as long as you've purchased (and registered online at the Canon website) between June and 31st December, you're qualified for 1+2 year warranty. The reason you see Canon shop selling more expensive is because Canon is selling their product at their recommended retail price, while other photo retailers usually sell them at a slightly lower price to entice potential customers.Budget: <RM1,700 Your Location: Â KL Preferable brand :Â Any Type of photography u want to do :Â Landscape, portrait, macro shot Any specific models in mind? :Â Canon Power shot SX20IS Any specific features u want? : Manual focus, continuous shot, HD video recording.
