Hi there.. i have made out my mind to go for digital compact instead of DSLR.. but which 1 should i go for? can all the sifus here advice me or give me some guidelines which 1 should i go for? My purpose of getting the camera is easy carry while i go dinner or outing and my family member can easily use it unlike DSLR which was more complicated. i think i will still go for DSLR later.. but not so soon. so.. everyone please leave your comment here.. thanks.

alot of ppls recommend me canon.. but is it really so outstanding compare to other brand? as for my case..FX36 got IA function and 25mm wide shot, but Ixus 860 only have 28mm and dun have those function. is the wide shot so important? some ppl told me that the pana noise improve alot these day.. is that real?

i not really want to go for prosumer cam now cos i'm using olympus C770 which i bought 4 years back.. i plan to get a DSLR but due to my family will use that cam also.. then i got no choice but choose a user friendly cam..

yeah.. i want to get a pocketable 1.. any other recommended cam? please help me..

btw.. my budget for this cam is around 1200 +-... thats why i choose FX36 or Ixus 860.. is there any other cam at this price range also?

what about other brand like nikon? or sony? but mostly what i heard is sony no good.. headache...

sherren, you have any comparison website to compare panasonic, canon, and fujifilm?
