I have own the AX100 before for 3 months before it was stolen. I now own the AX200 and I must say its an excellent projector. I paid about RM 5.3k for it but this was because the shop took pity on me for my stolen AX100. I'm using PS3 to watch blu-ray now and I must say the PQ is jaw dropping. You don't need a 1080p projector because I doubt you can tell the difference with AX200.

I bought my unit from musical image too. Great people there. I had an issue with my ax100 after using it for 100 hours and they swap it for me one-for-one with no questions ask. So if you really want to get the ax200, go get it from there! They are the main distributors too so they will be able to give you the best price.

I think like they mention, if you got the money go for ax200. What convince me the most was this review:

The most remarkable feature of this projector to me is the outstanding rendition of 1080p film material from HD DVD and Blu-ray. The compression into 720p sacrifices surprisingly little detail. Quite honestly, the image at first glace looks as if it were coming from a 1080p projector. You do notice the lower resolution in white block letters of titles and credits, where edges are just a bit less precise than they are on a native 1080p projector. But for the most part, the video image itself looks very close to 1080p resolution. In addition to the excellent compression, the complete absence of pixel structure contributes to this impression. We can discern subtle differences only because we spend many hours looking at these products with the same test clips. But the typical consumer would have no problem believing the AX200U was a 1080p projector if they didn't know differently.

The above is an excerpt from the review. Go read it. Projector central rated the projector 5 stars in every department.

Actually for the asking price, the picture is OK.

As for taking photos, in a fully darkened room, you are advised to use a tripod or some form of support no matter what ISO you use.  As for me I prefer ISO 50, without flash (obviously) mounted on a tripod.  I use the timer function (set at 2 seconds) to activate the shutter coz there must be zero vibration when the shutter is open... and the shutter will be open for an eternity..... 4-5 seconds.
