i was considering lx 3 but i heard it's zooming isn't that good

how's PowerShot A1100 IS


is it any good ?

i need good zoom in cause i'm always going to concert .

powershot A1000IS and A1100IS is a gd camera within RM700

sorry to let u know tat , if u need to take photo in concert , most of less than 1k P&S camera is not tat good...advice u to take SX110IS .. Rm1099

how bout LX 3 ?

if it meets my requirements , i might raise my budget for it

LX3 has a measly 2x zoom so if you want then go for it lah but you'll struggle if you REALLY need that zoom.

If you want get the Panasonic Lumix FZ28, it's one of the best zoom prosumers out there. It overpowers the Canon Powershot in some ways, but not to say the Canon recommended by steventan85 is bad either. Both are really good cameras, though the FZ28 does outdo other superzooms in this category quite a bit. Do play with both before making your choice - our recommendations are just guidelines, you don't need to listen to us, we're just giving you a rough idea.

How much is your budget though, I'm wondering?

1k . but i'm interested with lx3 . just that the zoom in is kinda dissapointing.

it's okay , i'll go try it out before i make my decision . thanks

Just maybe we can have each thread categorize in diff price range, like RM0-500, 500-1000, 1000-1700, and 1700 > above. I see quite "ZAP" (mess) in here...

nuub here

i'm interested with the nikon . but how much is it currently .
cant find anyone selling in the garage sale .

Olympus? That's the only brand which has underwater capability, IINM.

FZ28 is RM1200< in GS, retail is RM1300+..

I'd go with a new 80 IS - you never know where the used 850 IS has been to before...

If you can go higher a bit opt for the 85 IS, it's good for its price.

It's perfectly fine being this way - I don't see anyone complaining that it's messy, nor is it hard to read.

If you're restricted to below RM1.5k, the D40 would be a real good choice, or maybe a used D60? If you are aiming for RM2k though, do consider a new D60/Canon 1000D. I don't think you should opt for the a200 though, unless you're really adventurous. We don't know the quality of their after-sales service, nor do they have a wide range of lenses, which will really set you back when you wanna upgrade in the future.

I would suggest getting the 850 IS
it's known that IXUS xxx series are better than xx series
the difference in MP is not noticeable 7.1 vs 8
You will have less dense sensor which means less noise

the other major advantage i would say is the wide angle lens on the 850 IS
it is 28 mm vs 38 mm which is way long if you are in a small room
The other advantage is 1.7 fps continous drive vs 1.3

the rest is almost the same
I would suggest pressing your fren's price down a bit
say you need to upgrade to a 4gb card

ok, thanks for ur very helpful comment...

Having problem to choose between FX36, ixus 80, sony w150 & Olympus μ1060.....

Any comment from urs ?

Thanks~

IF you ask me I'd choose the FX36/Ixus 80 IS over the Sony/Olympus. Unless you need the Olympus for underwater shooting or Sony for style, then go for the both you mentioned.

Do refer to our recommendations as a guideline - not an instruction, so I'd suggest you to go play with both as they are almost identical in terms of specs. See which one's functions you like more and wallah. There you go.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget: 5.5K
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : sony or nikon
Type of photography u want to do : landscape,macro, night scene
Any specific models in mind? : D90 (16-85mm), a700 (16-80CZ)
Any specific features u want?: sometimes do need portrait too

If you're really into landscape I don't think a measly 16mm would do - but if you are happy with it then you might wanna consider the Canon EOS 40D too - should be around RM3k for body and if you want a 17-85 it's around RM1.2k+. Which amounts to RM4.2k. Cheap compared to the other two. Forget Sony if you're gonna get serious about photography and the D90 is only your choice if you really want the video, because its specs are almost identical to the 40D without the video.

My two cents - you don't necessarily have to listen to what I say.

Thanks for ur opinion, will re-consider again ...

What you mean ah? mind to explain?
