the difference is the type of the lens you will be getting.. if you can afford go for the 18-55mm and 16mm lens combo.. or the 18-55 and 55-210 combo..

Type of camera :  M4/3 Camera
Budget: Below 2k
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand :  Olympus, Nikon , Panasonic, Canon
Type of photography u want to do :  Macro details, Potrait and all around for newbies
Any specific models in mind? :  Olympus EPM1 - EPL3, Nikon J1, GF3, LX5
Any specific features u want? :  Fast auto focus, Variety choice of lens, Reliable, and of course AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE  tongue.gif

I'm newbie in photography.. I like DSLR but its bulky and decide to pick M4/3 cuz can get same picture quality in compact size.. Interested in taking a snapshot of Gunpla's, Potrait photography, Landscape, Streets, candid snapshot.. For Nikon J1 some of my friend said it was not worth it cuz the quality is almost like EPM1 that cost 400bucks cheaper.. read it on the internet got problem on J1 battery life.. I've tried GF2 and quit attracted to the design tongue.gif Some said for stable body can choose Olympus but for fast AF can go for Nikon.. I like fast autofocus cuz i'm "Happy Trigger" type and like to snap a candid.. Any suggestion for below 2k budget Compact Digital Camera..

Sony won't be too pricey?

About 2k i guess. but if you are looking for fast Autofocus your only option is DSLR unless you are willing to invest in fast lenses.

Guys I'm looking to get a compact camera for my studies in the US. Not bringing my EOS 60D because too bulky, same goes for micro four-thirds. Any recommendations? Coming from a DSLR, image quality is quite important to me. Zoom isn't that important though. Budget RM1000-1500
*
well the closet you can get with that budget would probably be an olympus XZ-1 or canon S95..

actually I'm seriously considering Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V, LUMIX LX5 or the LUMIX ZS20. they are about the same price as the XZ-1 and S95.  blush.gif you used any one of them?
*
Well the HX9V is a very capable compact with very good video. LX5 has a brighter lens and more direct manual controls. Not sure about the ZS20 though.

Can't decide between Sony nex F3 and Nex c5. Or are there other cameras worth recommending within these lines ?

there is no C5... i think you meant C3.. basically F3 is a replacement model of the C3...

The pro's of the K-30 is as you might already know, advertised as weather-proof so that's something you can't find elsewhere at this price point.
It's also using a Sony sensor so by default, that should be good.

However, the cons is that unfortunately Pentax these days are some what a niche... so if its lens (be it their own or 3rd party) is not exactly common place especially 2nd hand.

And then it's that look and feel of the K-30. It's either love or hate.

Regarding A65.... everything is there spec wise but... and a very big but ... is if you're ok with using an EVF on a dslr body (smaller mirrorless no choice la).

The good thing about EVF is that you immediately see your exposure. There's even a live histogram in it so bye bye guesswork.

The cons is that even while its the best EVF around, its still essentially a small LCD screen in a tunnel = you can't really see the whole tonal range as you would with a mirror through the lens.

If you're in KL, then just go to Times Square Nikon showroom... have a play with the cameras... then head to the Sony shop and play the DSLT and NEX they have displayed there. That's the best way to decide smile.gif

it's not a exactly a tunnel.. the viewfinder is so much more bigger than other entry level cameras...

Hello all,

Need some help here, any one know which is the best from this 3?

1. Pentax Optio WG-2
2. Olympus TG-1 iHS 
3. SONY CYBERSHOT TX10.

Need to buy a compact cam to be used in a very tough enviroment. but puzzled between this 3. Main job, is to snap a running gears (big gear, usually used in heavy industries) in a closed gear rim cover (its dark in there).

Thanks for any suggestions..

i am using the TX10. very durable but the paint may come off easily if dropped.
