if your budget cannot over, then try casio Z 110 ,it have 6 mega pixel;anti-shake;AA type batery;also a lot feature. But quality of image ok la, not bad;most important outside sell Rm 999 with 512mb sd card( price still can down a bit if negotiate )

i also recommeded panasonic camera cause of it famous lenc, even i never compare it.but you must bear in mind that battery type was expensive if future need to change or add
*
Casio Z110 do not have image stabilization, this camera not bad, will consider.



What do we see when we buy a digital camera? I really do not know about this.

A another shop seller introduce Nikon L1 to me but I found out that maximum ISO is only 200, is it ok for it?

Need more recommendation.... notworthy.gif

Why??? Becoz they are not selling the other 'brand' or no stock of the brand that you require. Or they just want to sell slow moving stock to you.

But all also recommend dc which meet nearly to my requirment. Tat's why I am confuse and need your comments and help me to choose the most suitable dc.

Have decided what to buy. It is Canon A530 at quite a reasonable price.

The cheapest offer I get in Sg Wang is

Camera + Case - RM650
512MB SD Card 50x Fast speed- RM100
Screen Protector - RM20 (kinda expensive sad.gif)
Sony Rechargeable battery 4pcs 1700mah and charger - RM70
Mini tripod - F.O.C
Total - RM840

Any comment about this camera?
It is a good buy?

For A530, the price is around $330 but in Malaysia is around RM650(camera only). Maybe the quality is made in Malaysia.
