1. if light weight then look at micro four thirds (i assume this is what u meant. four thirds is different) or sony NEX system.
2. biggest difference is the sensor size. normal compact camera are the smallest. m4/3 slightly bigger, "crop sensor" DSLR and sony NEX bigger, then you have "full frame" expensive DSLR sensor.
3. they both start at about the same price, but DSLR can go up to higher price ranges
4. im not certain but i guess m4/3 lens should be cheaper since they're smaller
5. quality and performance of course DSLR is better.

do look at Sony NEX-F3. small size and quality got fight with entry level DSLR. i think it suits ur purpose very well
i suggest an entry level DSLR with a 50mm f/1.8 lens. for rm2000 that might be challenging unless you're okay with 2nd hand stuff.

alternatively i'd suggest a good compact camera with a big sensor. sony RX100!

What options do i have on the compacts?

Canon S100?

The NEX F3 is a great little camera and it's so cheap now. At RM1.7k or so you can already get one with a kit lens

Well of course, it won't have the extra features of a full fledged DSLR like the Nikon D3200 maybe, but it sure is small and handy, great for people looking to take higher quality pictures without the expense of the weight and bulk factor to name a few
NEX F3 It has a DSLR sensor in it!
I'd suggest a Olympus XZ-2/ Lumix LX7/ Canon S110/Nikon P7100 instead
See above

thanks man and i noticed P7100 is probably the cheapest choice as well.

Am gonna admit I am new to all these photography thing - online reviews is abit raw to me as i can't really grab hold on a feeling on how these models come up to each other. Appreciate more in depth comments from you guys.

1st of all, "flash that looks at night" is pretty much off-camera flash used with some kind of diffusers and other accessories. any built-in flash doesn't look good at night

only get a DSLR or NEX if you already have some idea of what lens you wanna buy. personally, i think the point of buying DSLR / NEX / interchangeable lens cameras is because of lens flexibility. else, a high end compact like the sony RX100 is already a very very capable camera. within ur budget and much easier to carry around too!
RX1 of course! well a cheaper substitute to the RX1 is the Fuji X100. fixed lens too, but smaller sensor.
what kind of products? i imagine a NEX F3 or an entry-level dslr with 50mm f/1.8 prime lens would do a very very good job but slightly higher than rm2000 budget. unless u're ok with 2nd hand stuff.

Hi, I am mainly shoot product such is electronic devices, hand phone, gadgets and post to Internet.

Maybe I should rephrase it to shoots well under low light

I'm currently using a Fujifilm F550EXR which is pretty amazing - I just don't think it shoots as well at night. Any suggestions?

RX1 or RX100...1 RX1 can buy 4 RX100 i guess 

How much is Fuji X100?
