Hi guys! I'm planing to get myself a digital camera next month. My budget is about RM1000 to RM1600. I can fork out a little more money but it is strictly limited to RM2000.

I feel like getting a F31fd since I heard many pleasant comments about it. However, I also heard that it's kinda difficult to spot for a F31fd in shops nowadays. Moreover, it has purple fringing problem. So, I'm also considering F40fd. I'm not sure how much difference F40fd is, in terms of performance and price. Do advice.

Or should I get the well renowned Canon 850IS? Any other suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!

Added info: I dislike blurred images and I think I need cameras that can handle higher ISO without too much noise.

I'm looking for cameras where I can easily bring it around. Hehe.. My preferred budget is RM1000-1600.

I saw samurai1337's thread and he spotted for T20. Lol.. Anyone can tell how it performs? Lol..

My friend has a T10, but it cannot satisfy me. Haha.. I think T20 is much better isn't it?

How about:
T100 and
Lumix fx series?

I think I'm throwing out T100 and T20 as my choice. It's having some difficulty to get good pics in poor lighting conditions. I take lots of indoor pictures too, and I think I'll be facing problem if I take T100 or T20. But I do love T series's design.

I think it's most practical to get F31fd since it's great in taking indoor pictures.

nairud, mind to tell me where I can get it too? Lol..

Which is better; 850IS or F40fd?

If I can't get the F31fd in time, I might have to resort to either one of these. Lol..

I might need to get it 1 day or 2 days later, after placing order.

Ah, it's getting closer and closer to the mid of June. Counting down to the day where I'll buy the camera.

Now I'm torn between the few choices. Don't know which to go for. Right now, I feel 850IS is quite a good choice as it is small.

Fujifilm F31fd:
Pro-Clear pictures at high ISO. Great battery life.
Con- Expensive XD card and limited capacity.

Canon 850IS:
Pro-Great design and compact. Produces more vibrant picture. SD cards are easily available.
Con-Noisy. Visible noise and blurring when cropped.

Canon S3IS:
Pro-Great camera at great price. Acceptable noise level at lower ISO.
Con-Bulky. It looks weird to bring a large camera walking around everyday.
