If you will be taking pictures most of the time and the picture quality is more important than video quality then opt for G7. If videos is your main intention then opt for TX1. Bare in mind that you will be holding TX1 in a vertical video camera like manner and this would not be comfortable when taking lots of photos with it. Usually combo models like TX1 will have a compromise, you can't have the best of both photo and video in one. TX1 looks fragile to me and not well built. If you need to do videos often, I suggest getting a seperate entry level MiniDV digital camcorder. I find that the G7 is surprisingly small enough to fit in my side or back pocket yet feels secure when held. I would go for the G7. Note that if you don't mind the extra weight and unpocketable size, a Nikon D40 can be had for less than RM2K. If you're planning to take up photography as a hobby I suggest getting a DSLR otherwise it will be soon enough that you will want to upgrade to one when you realise that DSLR speed is far superior. While the Fujifilm f31fd are known for it's colours it is a lower range of camera compared to G7 in terms of performance and functions.

but the G7(10mp) has more mp compare to the D40(6mp) and for mobility, the G7 take first

i dun think any canon dc will let u have long hour video recording as they are using inefficient Motion JPEG codec (save licensing cost?) which is a low compression format and thus the size is big, my dc only allows me to record 7.5min of 640 x 480 pixels @ 30 fps on 1GB SD.

I've already bought the G7, the photo quality didnt really satisfy me....but maybe the shutter speed is good~ didnt totally try everything out yet
