Nex 5n or Nex 7..

Your budget should have no problem affording the 5n.


Added on February 20, 2012, 1:12 pm

In terms of sensor size and image quality, really less competition at that price range..

Unless you are adding more budget for the Fuji X1Pro, which might or might not be better than the Nex, not much competition at that price range.

I don't think there's any other flip screen cams at that price point.

I used a more low tech approach for self portrait with my kids.. I got one of those mirror sticker and stick it infront of the camera.

How do you define "close to dslr" image?

It sounds like you're quite new to photography so I reckon that a travel zoom compact like Canon SX230HS would be more useful for you.

It's like the jack of all trades. Does everything reasonably well... small, light, good stabilization, big zoom range, decent image and video.

S100 and many higher end compacts are technically "better" but unless you're a photography enthuasiast who nitpicks or print very large prints..... those "better" are moot points for a regular user.

Hope that helps. smile.gif

Both are more or less the same.
600D has a swivel screen and 550D don't.
Both also have AUTO mode

Bokeh's all in the lens not the camera body in this case.

If you want good resell value then I think you should stick to popular brands like Canon and alike.

In the market, there are few systems (mounts) to consider...
1. the ever-growing micro four third mounts (olympus, panasonic, and so on)
2. the new nikon 1 mount
3. conventional old-school mounts like canon, nikon, sony a-mount and so on.

for the first 2, it's a hybrid we call, mirrorless. the third is of the conventional one.

There are lots of cameras that you can consider but I would recommend you to go and study some of them first and find out what are the differential factors between them then you can make the right call!

I'm not located in malaysia but anything reflective would do since u just need to agak agak and let face detection autofocus to do its job. Like some phones have chrome trimmings around the camera so u can see ur face..well.. Same concept.

Hi sifus and gurus,

I need some help. I've been using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 for the past 3 years, and I've been extremely happy with the performance of this camera. However, the camera is now showing signs of wear and tear and it doesn't focus properly when taking videos and it sometimes can't even turn on. Because of that, I'm looking to get another camera.

Is it possible for me to get something similar to the TZ5 around the RM500 - RM1000 range? If no, what is the best camera you would recommend for that budget?

EDIT: I haven't really started looking, but saw a samsung PL120 yesterday, which looked ok. However, reviews don't seem to rate it too highly, and a few friends have discouraged me from buying samsung cameras.

I had one of those too smile.gif
and yeah... it's a nice camera.

You could try looking at this http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/q311travelzoomgrouptest/17

The ZS10 in the review is known as the TZ20 in our part of the world... also the direct descendant of your TZ5.
