Hi guys, it'll be alot of work for reading all those threads in the forum while i'm still a noob in digi cam. My sister owned a Canon A95 last time till it was stolen in Austria. She liked the camera alot since it's a semi pro dc.

Guys, can u help me to find a suitable dc and analyze the pros and cons for the dc, pls?

Requirement:

Pro-sumer camera
Preferably using SD card (if possible no XD card which used in Olympus)
At least 5MP or above
Bulky is surprisingly ok for my sister ^^
If possible support wide angle, recording at 640 x 480 30fps (or higher like 720p)
Budget around RM1000 to RM1500
If possible also, able to extend the lens for future enhancement
Battery wise, super preferably AA size battery and the camera must also shoot alot of picture b4 low battery

Brand preferably Canon but not Nikon, Rico, Olympus

Thx for helping

Oh ya, wat's in my mind now is Canon G7, is it ok getting that? The offers are pretty good

Actually my sister wanted a DSLR if the price is ok...

oh.... u c i'm a noob, doesn't know that DSLR does not support video... paiseh

If is DSLR how much it cost for a decent one?

sorry guys, i dun think we're getting any DSLR.... since the budget is not allowed.... is there any Pro-sumer camera recommended?

Canon G7 or Power Shot S5 IS, which one better?

lolz... So this Olympus SP-550UZ and SP-560UZ, how much is it ar? If compare to S5 IS which one betteR?

guys, chill.... ^^ thx for ur opinion, it's time for my sister to make the decision ^^

lolz.... DSLR is for pros..... who r really really pro.... haha ^^ For me p&s is enuff for my demand. ^^

Hey, I think my sister will go for G7, coz she saw the price diff between S5 and G7 is rm100 only..... not going for other brand adi.... thx guys ^^

for gogo2, dun be upset lar it's juz discussion ^^

but the problem is, we need a decent camera soon coz we're going to Hong Kong early of next month... so it's either get it or use the sucky nikon L2....

allow me to say something noobie ^^ I saw there pic taken by S5 and G7 in a website i think is dpreview.com. I found that most of the picture taken by S5 has much more noise than G7 even in good lightning condition. Can u guys get an LCD monitor (cheap one) to view the pic? coz CRT monitor won't able to c those noise clearly.

so G7 is better?
