lol.. dont like that la bro..ppl will take note your advice one.. new NX300 cost 1500-1700. my friend still offer me 1500 and she bought at july 2013! lol. ask her keep in shelf la..

i wanna travel light and catch good view. im not a pro to always change lens.. Olympus PL5 and XZ2 look alike just that PL5 can change lens is it? wow olympus XZ2 really that super excellent? i must look into it then.. price rm980+ is shop price? why is lazada selling camera so cheap? i have no confident to get one there..

sorry I mean the PL6

PL6 can change lens. XZ2 cannot. But the XZ2's lens is better than the standard lens that comes with PL6. You'll get sharp, beautiful images. There's one camera shop in midvalley also selling the XZ2 around RM950


I personally use Fuji XF1. You can check out how beautiful the images are

do check out the XZ2 flickr group too

Just because it's fixed lens, doesn't mean it's worse than DSLR

The Fuji X100s is fixed lens, but has achieve iconic status for the images


I used to be in dilemma of what camera to buy. Then one answer struck me - "The best camera is the one with you" . I put my XF1 in my work laptop bag. I just take it out whenever I feel I want to capture something.

Please check out XZ2

tq bro for ur info.. your XF1 design look very nice! i like the design very much!

your SonyA5100 rm2000+ very pricey.. no budget for that.. my budget around rm1000 only.

Then your only choices :
- Sony A3500
- Second hand Olympus M4/3
- Decent compact

what about x-e1 ? for about rm2.3k,together with the best kit lens in the market (im not kidding) ,i think it would be a good choice.

the major drawback of Fuji ILC ,yeah the lens is pricey

and also ,the AF.and no face detection

@TS So which one are you getting finally.. just curious ..

lol.. kinda in dilemma still.. any camera suggested here attracts you? zzzxtreme highly recommended Olympus XZ2. but i found out that it doesnt have wifi instead u need to buy separate wifi card. dont know how much it cost. Samsung NX300 attracts me from the outlook and many giving good comments on blogs. just afraid the battery wont last whole day outing. and not sure does this product still continue on market or its clearing old stock. Going to shop find out this weekend.

cheers..

Unless you go for dslr, most mirrorless without external battery wont go >400 shots. Just grab extra batt, solved. If you know where to look, you can get nx300m for rm1800 or less.

I was looking for a cam in similar range.. still not convinced over SAMSUNG to be the best in camera.. will decide la. let me know after you visit the shop this weekend.

If you are not into too serious photography or lens hog, samsung nx will do the job just fine unless you are looking into serious telephoto lens (>200mm). One of the nicest touchscreen, wifi and user interface ever. Their prime lens selection is adequate enough. Or wait till nx400/500 with evf comes out supposedly this year.

Or better well known mirrorless will be sony a6000 (camera of the year 2014) which has better feature and evf than nx300 but they say the kit lense bundled is crap compare to nx kit 16-50 pz so may need additional investment on the lense. However will recommend this for sport shooters or soccer mom for its autofocus speed and burst rate.

Olympus E-PL series is also nice if you want small cameras and tons of lense options. Only thing to consider is the m4/3 size sensor being smaller than sony and samsung apsc. Also if not mistaken before E-PL7, the older models has less tech feature (no focus peaking, confusing user interface) and low LCD resolution making manual focus a headache. So get the latest E-PL7 with 1mil dot LCD touchscreen if possible.

If not into lens collection, would suggest just getting sony RX100.

If you aren't that picky with the ability to burst shoot and you want to take pics just to share on Facebook, I would consider QX1. Only issue with QX1 is there is no live view. You will need cellphone or ipod touch as your viewer.

okay. let me give you the exact requirements.

I had a powershot sx30 before, addicted to long range zoom after that, but had to sacrifice on aperture while using it in low light. Was taking some shots in lampu 2014 and it fell along with the tripod it was on and the motor shattered. So planning to upgrade now. My friend suggested me to go for a better bridge camera. I am planning for a mirrorless/dslr. so long range zoom lens and better lowlight are my requirements.

M4/3 olympus or panasonic is preferable then cause of the 2x crop factor on focal length. Not familiar with the tele lens selection though but if want higher aperture be prepare to shell out more.

Bridge camera is great if you only want to invest one camera without spending more money to get another lens. Camera like lumix FZ200 and sony cybershot dsc-hx400v are worth looking at. Lumix uses leica lens which will give you f2.8-4 600mm while sony has the super zoom of 24mm-1500mm. You can use sony camera to shoot to the moon up close.

sony cybershot dsc-hx400v was in my list actually.. saw it last week in lowyat.. pretty impressed. Any comments on that is welcome too.

24-1500mm? Optical?

I second this, or the X100s, personally I sold my 7D for the XPro1, never regretted it The quality of the JPEGS, especially the skin tone straight out of cam is amazing.

but with a tiny little sensor

How's that even possible?
