Alright, I'm looking a newbie in photography and looking for a sub-1500 camera (including at least 1GB memory card) with good image quality (including night shot), reasonable battery life and good design will be a plus point.
Currently I'm considering these few after some research: 1. Fujifilm Finepix F40fd 2. Sony DSC T20 3. Sony DSC T100 (cool but over-budget) 4. Panasonic Lumix FX30 5. Canon IXUS 850 IS 6. Any good models from Nikon/Olympus? Your suggestion is precious...thanks in advance  |

QUOTE(xandman @ May 8 2007, 10:16 AM) if u are vain...and like to c@mwh0re...A LOT! This is cool, but rather a bit heavythen ull like nikon s10...since it has twist body design... but its only 6mp..  The 10X zoom is optical or digital? QUOTE(goldfries @ May 8 2007, 10:18 AM) fuji cameras are nice. Yeah, in fact Fuji f40fd is my first choice for now because of the price and good feedback XD as for me, i like Casio too.

P5000 seems like a prosumer rather than compact P&S to me If u really can't live without SD card, then only Fuji F40fd vs Nikon P5000  This post has been edited by samurai1337: May 8 2007, 10:43 AM |

10x optical zoom? Not bad...
How much is it? Tried to do some search in Garage sales but S10 is rather rare. |

QUOTE(yongkailoon @ May 13 2007, 06:37 PM) For my usage which is really pure point and shoot and don't really need to zoom that far, I choose T20. I tried the T20 and was satisfied with it, really changed the bad impression I had with the T10. Fuji is good too but it isn't really suitable for me as I don't have steady hands. Does f40fd need REALLY steady hands? I read a review somewhere saying that though there's no optical image stabilizer, minor shake won't be producing blurry images. Need some opinions on this, as I don't have steady hands either |

Got myself a T20 as per yongkailoon's recommendation
 Nice design, the white colour looks special, but never have time to try it yet. Thread closed as I already got my camera This post has been edited by samurai1337: May 22 2007, 10:47 AM |
