To all the sifu around,

i'm looking around for a new compact camera. i previously own casio exilim z750. My good old faithful is sending for fix because i drop it from the very high place. camera seems fine, but the lcd when white.

So just in case my faithful exilim z750 die on me, Is time for me to move on. But i got to admit, z750 for me by far is the best easy to use with lots of lots feature that other camera cannot offers(best shot, manual focus, Aperture, WB and etc). Heck it even has undying battery life which is really awesome. It last me for weeks without charge.

So can any sifu recommend me a camera of ur choice and i will look into it.
Here are some of my expectation on the compact camera,

- 6-7mega pixel (i think is more than enough)
- 3x Optical zoom (if can higher the better)
- Mode scence (alot is better since i'm not pro photographer)
- easy maneuvering of the interface.
- Must have good battery life (despise AA type battery, but if u recommend it, i will look into it as well)
- Manual (i dont mean manual focus, i mean more than that, my z750 have those, i think is call Aperture, focusing and etc. cant remember already)
- emmm..anything other thing u can recommend?

Pls feel free to suggest any brand ASAP, i'm goin to look for it real soon.

And the budget..?

Fujifilm f31fd
Canon IXUS 850is
Sony Cybershot T-100

emmm...budget ar.....emmm... 1600 mebbe?


Ppl has been talking about f31fd huh? but no IS wor..kinda hard for this days rite?
ixus850is and T100 also not bad but no manual function.

Do u mind explain to me abit why this 3 camera is great?
thanx

If you want a cheap reqular backup buy BenQ dc c640. Only rm499. It has PASM mode which allow users to manually adjust aperture, shutter and manual. 6MP and has 13 modes. It also has shake free mode and there's a little Image Stabilizer. Look on the net for more info.

hmmm i skip the part u wanted a manual thingy

oh well, nothing much to say. Just that those are really great point and shoot cameras

lol, no doubt, almost all the requirements just hit the F31fd spec.

Canon A570IS oso gud...
