QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Dec 3 2009, 09:46 PM) @-kytz-: Yes i do know that the LX3 is a very good camera but the price is abit too steep.May i know how much is the cheapest LX3 around?If not mistaken, the retail price is about RM1700 May I recommend the Panasonic Lumix LX3? It's very good for panaromic photos as it's got a wide angle of 24mm.  It's also got HD Video Recording (at 720p if not mistaken). I have seen the quality of it which is quite good but can never be compared with a HD Camcorder.    |

Just curious...What't this Nikon Coolpix L100?My sis has it and it's only around RM900-1K.....I definitely doubt it's a DSLR..Is this a semi pro camera?I think it's just a normal PnS with superzoom,no?
Tried it but didn't give me any good impression of it.Practically very noisy and can't change the ISO  How will this fare against my future Lumix LX3? I need to know because my family is going for a holiday and need to determine which will be taking family photos  This post has been edited by -kytz-: Mar 16 2010, 01:28 AM |

QUOTE(siauann @ Mar 16 2010, 02:13 PM) im also have the same budget and camera as urs in my mind..but i still considering the lx3 in the list..but in terms of size its a big bulky specially the lens. i was looking for P&S for convenience in travelling also. anyone can recommend? currently S90 in my mind..but seems like panasonic lumix series also give a lot of nice review. A wide angled lens(24mm) and HD video recording certainly gives it an edge over the S90  Definitely gonna get this baby soon  |

Dunno how much is that but i bet it can't beat its older brother,the S90.Else, there's the legendary LX3 both in the price region of RM1.5k
Budget budget budget..That's what you should post first when asking for any type of recommendation,be it mobile phones,laptops,cameras,pc etc.So do state your budget |

QUOTE(putochip123 @ May 2 2010, 05:17 PM) Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera/semi pro camera Panasonic LX3- a very advanced compact which has a very good Image Quality which will blow away any compacts u can find in the market Budget : Below RM1.5k Your Location : KL Preferable brand : Panasonic or any other Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Portrait Any specific models in mind? : FZ35 Any specific features u want? Newbie in camera, start to learn wondering which model will suit me? i like to take photo, what i heard from my friends, they said DSLR is too high end for me, they ask me go for Semi pro, is it right choice for this? Currently looking at Panasonic Lumix FZ35, i think it is a quite nice camera since(looking at the outlook and "BIG BIG" Lens) What is FZ35 LOL Yes, most professional DSLR users out there own a LX3 lol  |

FZ35 is a superzoom...those big big lenses u see is only for "display" as it's only used for very long optical zooms.Otherwise, Image quality is the same as a compact camera.
Again said, LX3 beats all in the 1.5k region except DSLRs lar LX3's reputation speaks for itself  This post has been edited by -kytz-: May 2 2010, 06:22 PM |
