Ever consider Canon? the 50mm f/2.5 compact macro one, else top up few more hundred bucks for the 100mm f/2.8. Have no past experience dealing with tamron 90mm / sigma 150mm.

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. smile.gif

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. smile.gif

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.

Budget: <1000
Preferable brand : Any brand will do, as long it's good
Type of photography u want to do : travel , portrait , landscape, indoors

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.
