I'm planning to buy a digital camera at <RM1200. Need it for taking daily photos... (I'm not a pro photographer but i like snapping photos here and there) nod.gif

Would prefer a nice look and anti-shake features (my hand really shakes when i hold cameras), especially at low-light places. I don't really need, you know, extremely professional sharp/night images, just a balance between style and quality would make me really happy. smile.gif

I'm currently considering Sony T20 or Canon Ixus 70. I think Sony has a better look but some of my friends say canon has better stabilization/night shots... They might be wrong, of course. biggrin.gif

Please give me a bit of opinions, I'll greatly appreciate it!! Thanks!! rclxm9.gif

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Ixus 70 does not have Image Stabilizer. I think the only models from Canon that has Image Stabilizer is the A710IS, Ixus 800IS, Ixus 850IS, Ixus 950IS and G7. smile.gif

Thanks for the replies guys!

Yup I think you're right about ixus 70 not having IS, but i'm afraid that those who do have IS in their names are way beyond my budget.. laugh.gif laugh.gif

So, considering its existing anti-shock/blur, noise reduction (enables higher ISO) or whatever that's equivalent, which model do you guys think - Sony T20 or Canon Ixus 70 - would perform better in terms of taking images in low-light conditions?

*P.S. (Added after CWKS's post, thx!) : Sorry I forgot to mention in low-light conditions I mean in one that I can't use flash. smile.gif

Thanks alot! nod.gif

I would prefer Canon more then Sony as mostly pro used Canon,

Regarding about taking image in low-light conditions that would be how you control your flash lights and depends on the background of the places you want to take...

I take a few photo during the night with a few mode and try it out myself .... Turning On & Off the flash light make you have different effects

You can go try out Fuji's F31fd as recommended by a lot of members in this forum. It is claimed to capture pictures with extremely high IQ in low light conditions. I have not tried it myself though. Price wise I think should be under RM1k just for the camera I guess.

Canon performs so-so only in low light conditions, unless you're willing to bump up the ISO, increase exposure time and live with the noise like I do (the shots still look fine in 4R prints though). biggrin.gif

Hmm... It seems that a lot of people really prefer canon... So is it concluded that canon is the better one among the two models? icon_question.gif

Anyway, here's the specs of the 2 models that I wish to compare, taken from their official websites:

CANON IXUS 70
