Yeah u r right, i don't think i'm the kind of person who deserves a DSLR. My main purpose is to take nice photos during travel: landscape, and people shots, with some occasional indoor and low light scenes like at a dimly-lit ambient restaurant.

Looking at all the sample photos posted by sifus here so far, it seems Nokia 808 is up to the job but I don't like an old symbian phone. So looks like I'd get an S100 or LX5, or Lumix GF2 - I think that's the max i'll go, don't want anything bigger - prefer travel light.

I saw GF2 2nd hand available around rm800-900. Any comment? i think a micro 4/3 will take me a long way.

i just bought an s100 recently. it's really a nasty little cam(in a good way). 240fps high speed video is really fun to play with, especially with the kids. not many compact cam has the feature, let alone a phone.

But if both pics are steady, sure C510 still lose to S2 right? unsure.gif
I've never really handled a proper camera so I dunno how much they can control. But for phone, adjusting scenes, exposure value, ISO and white balance according to situations can help in low light.

well....obviously a camera has more controls for those things. within the same age of course.
