i did consider canon 100mm f/2,8. but the lens that i borrowed from my brother in law wasnt impressive at all. considering the price tag compared to both tamron and sigma..
Did you mean the 100L or non-L? I have a friend of mine, 100L definitely is the best choice you can get. It's fast, accurate, and silent motor. It's all you need on macro photography.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Compact camera , semi pro
Budget: 1.5k-2k++
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : Any brand will do, as long it's good
Type of photography u want to do : travel , portrait , landscape
Any specific models in mind? : LX5 , XZ-1, G1X , olympus pen
Any specific features u want? : would be able to adjust something like DSLR will do ..
If you want new, go for G1X. The sensor size is bigger than compact camera, and it's semi pro. I see no reason to choose the others.

Hi guys, looking to get a point and shoot compact camera. Have absolutely no idea which brand and model is good so any advise is much appreciated.
Type of camera/lens/accesories : Compact camera , semi pro
Budget: <1000
Preferable brand : Any brand will do, as long it's good
Type of photography u want to do : travel , portrait , landscape, indoors
Any specific models in mind? : not sure
Semi pro would be above 1k, which might be up to 2k. If you have budget, go for G1X. Else you can consider Ixus 300 HS.
