dun worry. my friend who is a girl who is totally stupid in camera take picture with no blur and with good result. each time she bring out her camera, no one dare to use other camera. especially during birthday party. its all indoor. all picture is no blur. 100% clear. no flash needed. try that with canon and you'll get all crappy photo but once out door, its different story all together.

i think IS is good to have. F31fd will be perfect with wide angle and IS. and with SD card too.

After i done some research, i discover that sony have new series seem quite good which are the slim T20 and point and shoot w90. any ppl experience using it? how is it compare to 850IS ?? Really duno wana get which one leh. too many brands and models make my eyes blur....

Haha welcome to the party mate, I'm in the same boat with you.... But recently i read some forum talking about the "Ricoh Caplio R6" looks good, but not sure whether anyone here have experience with it??

About the the Sony DSC T-20 was one of my choice, but I heard there was some problem on the indoor night shot....

Any idea where should i get my digicam? finding a trusted shop. I found that the display screen of the Canon 850IS is kind a blur leh. Anyone know about it ?

trusted... why don't go shangri-la
or fotokem. cannot go worng

if u want cheaper, try photo selangor, YS photo in B U

I found that the display screen of the Canon 850IS is kind a blur leh. Anyone know about it ?

Just curious, was the Sensor size --> 1/2.5'' or 1/1.6'' give any advantages?? If so which will give the best results?

the bigger size, the better. 1/1.6" is bigger. Of course better Less noise so to speak

Why do you say that about Olympus? I have both Olympus & Sony (older models ie 3.2mp) and the Olympus's photos almost always tuen out better. No other defenders of Olympus here??

and do you even need to defend a brand that is good? just check out the discussion groups and the gallery.

Roger that, which is one of the reason why Fuji camera can produce good IQ despite that they have lack of OIS.... but the strange thing was how come F40 is not as good as F31?

May I know from which source did you quote that from? Cos I was hoping the F40fd to be better than the F31fd. (planning to get one camera)

dpreview forum, people compare the 2 f40 is 1 stop worse.

yeap from dpreview forum under fuji talk

sony - looks great only (colour abit fake)
nikon shd be better (coolpix)

maybe u could look at the TIPA Awards 2007 just to give a rough idea, best compact camera Nikon P5000, best ultra compact camera Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd....then u can make comparison with the most people buy here....

If my only criteria is:
- Compact
- <RM1000
- lowest shutter lag (need to take pic.s rather continously but not of the sporting type, more like for ?babies)

what would your recommendation be?

I need a recommendation too. Budget Rm1k-1.5k. Model for Sony and Canon Only. Dont wan DSLR =) Any recommend?

never buy sony T-5. after a while, u will find it very hard to adjust to snap in the night and special mode.
