GF3 only 1999 at SenQ, don wan to consider that?
i think if you go camera shop or garage sale can get a decent price for GF3...

I got quoted 1299 for GF2 and 1399 for GF3 in Digital Mall PJ. Really attractive pricing, made me almost change my mind on the xz-1!

serious,
that very good price....

Very new to photography, just wanna get myself a nice camera for daily use.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Semi pro / compact also can
Budget : Below RM1400
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Any
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape,Potrait
Any specific models in mind? : G12 as my friend is using one and it seems nice.
Any specific features u want? : Can take clear picture even with low light and even with super shaky hand. Best if the screen can flip over so can do self shot also sometimes would like to do some artistic picture, like those macro zoom thingy...am I asking too much for a camera with that budget?

G12? not a bad choice... but around 1400 you can get some entry level inter-changeable lens or M43 camera also, will you consider those?
If fix lens is priority, XZ-1 or G12 is nice as I have tried both before. But if you want good low light performance with shaky hand... maybe you should consider XZ-1 from Olympus for the brighter lens. Both camera are not really good in high ISO performance, so the bright lens of XZ-1 has advantage over G12.

I'm actually open for both fix lens and inter-changeable lens. What does M43 means??
I really had very little knowledge on camera, so I'm surveying now. Any other recommendation with that budget?

Its Micro Four Thirds

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Four_Thirds_system

yes, M43 means micro four third system camera...
You can have a look at Olympus or Panasonic which has decent entry level inter-changeable lens camera around 1500...
And for fix lens I have recommend you XZ-1 or G12... so you can have a look at their specs and try them out.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Compact
Budget : 1500-2000
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon or Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape or Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : Dunno
Any specific features u want? : night shot n nice camera

Nikon has new model D3200... how about this model?
is it suitable for beginners?

Which camera Brand/Model recommended for me ?

Many Thanks !

maybe Canon IXUS 125HS?

hi,need advise which lens is better choice for my d5100 body (finally bought it!!)

a)Kit lens 18-55mm + 35mm f1.8G
b)Tamron 18-200mm F3.5 - 6.3 XR DI II + macro convertor

i will be taking it during holiday n taking pic for family event...

Hi, Thanks for your recommendation.

Thanks.
Did you tried using this model before ? Great ?

personally will go for choice (a) first... or u can consider a fast zoom lens (i'm not sure what nikon hav, if canon it will be like the 24-70mm F2.8) as your starting "daily" kit... then only slowly expand

Added on May 24, 2012, 12:46 ami never try it before personally. but based on your requirement, that's what i can recommend. you can google some sample pic and see.
and most importantly, go try out yourself at the shop!
for other brand I'm not too familiar... you have to check it out yourself, or need to find some other sifu to help u...

Added on May 24, 2012, 12:47 amit should be designed as entry level DSLR... so should suit beginner... when available? not sure...

May I know if I buy Canon IXUS Series or more specifically Canon IXUS 125HS,

can I shoot Panoramic directly from the camera ?
or
must download to computer & do stitching using software it in the computer ?

refer a few post back, your requirement is similar with the others. if your only require fix lens camera, then how "compact" is your compact?
do you mean slim enough to put in your pocket? if so, you may consider Canon S100, Nikon P310. these are more "high end" compact camera.
S100 got quite good ISO performance.
if slightly bigger is still acceptable, maybe XZ-1 can be consider... (not sure the market price now, i think it is still within your budget...)

Added on May 24, 2012, 12:56 amas far as i know, no Canon has such function. you may need to look for Sony as they are great in this.
maybe you can try out something like Cyber Shot DSC-WX100/B...
