Type of camera/lens/accesories : Point and Shoot cameras / Prosumer cameras
Budget: Less than RM1600
Your Location: KL / Selangor
Preferable brand : Canon / Sony
Type of photography u want to do : Macro (eg. Flowers)
Any specific models in mind? : No

I don't prefer those can change the lens type, I am noob in this field.
More portable the better.

So, which Camera recommended for me ?

Thanks.

for "Canon + fix lens + macro", you can consider G12...
i enjoy shooting macro with my G12... which is something G1X can't really work out without additional close up lens.
For Sony... I'm not too sure they have something similar to G12, as far as I can recall they have a few super zoom prosumer, which has the size of DSLR.
If compact PnS, there's nothing much I can suggest you as I have less experience to that.

Thanks for the recommendation !
After your comments, I go survey a bit.

I see this Canon PowerShot S100 , is this okay for my requirement ?

My requirement are:-
Priority need Macro, mainly capturing Flowers Arrangement.
Second is, shooting decorations of Flowers in Showcase.
Third is, casual shooting.
