bro..seriously i need some urgent help here..
I will go lowyat by tomorrow with around 1k cash to buy a camera..

After filter from many types of compact camera..left choice for.me.is olympus xz1 or lumix.lx 7...bt i.nt.sure the price is within my budget or nt..

Beside..if i go for water proof camera, did u suggest me go for olympus tough series ?

Kinda thanks if bro can answer me a.s.a.p

First and foremost, the difference of quality between waterproof cameras and those enthusiast compacts (LX7,XZ-1,S110,RX100,P7100,G1-X) is pretty big due to the compromises that has to be done on the waterproof cameras to keep it sealed up against water.

You can try the Oly XZ-2, Lumix LX5, Canon S110, etc

It would be sad if you didn't see my post here

Should be similar given that both use the same lens?

Anyhow, you have to decide yourself on whether you don't mind a heavier/bulkier camera or a smaller and lighter camera?

A DSLR obviously has an advantage when it comes to versatility (with those control dials and knobs and general usability) whereas a smaller camera like the NEX series would be great for the size and all. Image quality wise I would say both are pretty good actually.

Not sure what to recommend for this price range..

You can try the Canon 1100D or the Nikon D3200, I'm not sure of Sony's offering. Once you got them already (with the kit lens), please do go for some photography workshops as they're pretty useful for newcomers

Salah thread, should be in the Nikon main thread lol. I'm not exactly familiar, you might want to ask the folks there

currently the xz-2 n lx 5 price is less than 1k ?
how about the xz-10 or lx-7 ? fren suggest me go for this two ?

I don't know the prices, so you have to do your own homework. Iirc LX7 should be out of your budget.

Look for lelong.com.my/shashinki/LYN garage sales for prices

if i not mistaken...previously have a forumer sold xz-1 at digital mall with RM 888...so nw think about xz-2..cuz this camera will follow me for a long time..s

Dunno about the prices liao. But I do know about a month ago, my friend bought a Nikon V1 with 2 lenses for RM750 1" sensor interchangeable camera and damn so cheap

my god ...u must be kidding to me....like this i got another choice to go again...
currently i also cant update the price ...i just roughly go throught LYP and looking for camera..most of the shop ppl ask me go DSLR..dun even recommend me a compact camera...

Guys, got a few options in my head.

GF5 (twin lens) - RM1400
D3100 (18-55) - RM1499
D3200 (18-55) - RM1750 (second hand)

Which would you get? I'm totally torn between these
