I need to get a camera to replace my Canon Ixus500 soon.
Using it mainly for family photographs, some indoor and some outdoors. The essential thing for me are: 1) Excellent pictures. 2) Battery life. 3) A little manual play, though not essential, but nice to have.  Which one will you pick? Thanks! |

Thanks for your fast reply and suggestions of F31fd.
Unfortunately, f31fd is not easy to find. Let's narrow down to these two choice. Which one would you get? Thanks! |

go for F40fd if you cant find F31fd (unless dokidoki can help you to buy from SG)
If you need full manual control and planning to get external flash, get P5000. However the high ISO quality not as good as F40fd / F31fd. see my F31fd album here (I have done some minor adjustment to the Curve, nothing much): http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/456543 This post has been edited by philipcs: May 31 2007, 12:28 AM |

agree. I dont trust all these award things..
Try to get F31fd.. Penang still has shops that sells it. If not get F40. But advantage of P5000 is that it has Hotshoe and you can add-on lens adapter next time. |
