good to know that, but there are few things need to be considered...

shipment fee will always cost a lot especially if the item is from usa / europe region, and equite a lot of them dont even do shipping

when the item reach here, will probably kena charge for import tax during collection

moreover, i dont have those paypal and wire transfer stuff

Added on January 22, 2011, 11:12 amif really around 1.5k and the reviews turn out to be good, i will consider it carefully

or else, will either go for hs10 or d3100...

just not worth to get a superzoom at high price

true geforce88......

i see.....yup but u still need to buy lenses for ur dslr although both body of d3100 and hs 10 about the same......

ya, those macro lens already cost a bomb, let alone 300-500mm lens

that is another decision factor for me to choose superzoom

someone selling D3100 with kit RM1700 at garage now

have you got your new camra? HS10 or nikon?

still waiting for the launch of HS20 and the full review of it....

if it turns out to be positive, then hell yeah i will get 1 asap......

otherwise, will rather get its older brother or any nikon p-series / panasonic fz-series.....

afterall, new full set HS10 is now retailing for 12xx @ miyamondo.....

the last i saw, miyamondo was selling 1390.....looks like the price dropped.......i got my S200 from them......

is HS20 selling for 1888 in malaysia now?

if i'm not mistaken, they stated rm1299 on mudah page not long ago..... but i could be wrong.....

anyway, u can refer this forumer >> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1713374&hl=

he's selling HS10 @ 1380, HS20 @ 1800

but i wonder how he got the model so fast, bcoz afaik, HS20 will only do shipping by early next month, and local fuji website dont even have HS20 yet (maybe they are slow in updating)

i believe the prices will drop further within these 2-3 months, as HS20 is intended to be competitively priced against Canon SX30, Nikon P500, Panasonic FZ40, Sony HX100 and few others......

really hope to see a full review on HS20 now

by the way, how is ur S200? i've seen many positive feedbacks and reviews for this model, but never got chance to try

i am very impressed with s200.

very easy to use and the picture quality is very good after making some changes in the default picture settings....

i have shaky hands. the shutter release helps a lot especially when i have zoom out to the max....

i am still looking for HS10 at the moment mainly because of my budget....hehehe....2nd bridge camera in less than one month...hahaha

i think i'll probably want to get 2nd hand at the moment. looking for less than 1000.....wonder if anyone that want to sell.....

i tried hs10 in berjaya times square and very impressed with it.....i got s200 in first place because i found out from online review and sample photos that s200 has lower noise and better picture quality. but when i tried out hs10.....the picture quality is very good too. since i don't print my pictures more than a4 size, hs10 would also be enough. plus i am searching this for my wife. a very nice bridge camera size for a lady....
s200 a bit tad too big but still usable for my wife

oic.... glad to hear that.... S200 is 1 of my consideration too previously, until i found out that it use rechargeable batt instead of AA.....

but no doubt, the photo quality received lots of praises from those professional reviewers....

but since u are buying for a lady, maybe can try consider something like:

nikon P7000
nikon S9100
fuji F300EXR
panasonic TZ8

not really consider bridge camera, but imho they are suitable for ladies, also with plenty of zoom range....

hmm...to me i don;t really have much preference of what type of battery. of course AA is widely available. but what is important to me is that I have a backup. so that's why i have a spare NP140.

I got an extra battery for my camera. better buy now that later when I can't find any

the cameras that you suggested are good but I specifically looking for manual zoom ring......so right now it's either HS10 or SP570UZ

plus the auto mode for HS10 and SP570UZ are pretty good. very good point and shoot and if need to do manual adjustments, the cameras allow to do that.

that is 1 of my reasons for choosing HS10/HS20

the Olympus now dont have new set already, right? probably can find a used unit....

i have not seen SP570UZ selling for some time now, even used one....

so I guess the only choice left is HS10

maybe can try ebay
