get the 450D...second hand d90 with tht price is hard to find. D90 is very hot now u know? Some say skip the xxxD series and go straight for 40D...which u can get 2nd hand for around 3.2K.. But 450D do fine too.

IXUS85 price still need RM900++

It isn't the best prosumer around but it still works for its price. I'd go for the Panasonic LX3 if I had to choose though.

I'd recommend you wait for a while - the Canon EOS-500D is coming out soon

If not, try getting a used 40D which is around 2.xK. New set is 3.2k+-.

Undoubtly the best - but if you want to opt for other brands, you already stated the SX1/P90 which are equally good cameras too. There's also another choice - the Olympus SP565UZ (or something like that). Heard it's ok for its price too.

You can try the Fujifilm F200EXR. Really worth its mediocre price.

LOL. Kinda bull in a way, because Sony has style in mind instead of quality most of the time.

I'd recommend you get a Canon or Panasonic.

40D second hand 2k+, can't touch 3k, new sets selling at 3.xK...

really? XD thanks...

[wta] for 2nd hand Ixus 860is, which still 3-4 months warranty, RM700. worth to buy??

Worth to sell, but not worth to buy. If it's IXUS 870IS then may consider as to what's the RM700 included, condition of the camera, screen protector and its accessories like extra battery and the capacity of memory card/s.

Prices of new compact cameras have fallen. These days you can get the same, if not better, features for less and with 2 yrs warranty, which is just right for its technological life span.

Do your maths and compare with a brand new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15@RM770 and see the freebies they are now giving till 31stMay2009.

Hello bro (and sis ^^),

My recent holiday trip with my girlfriend had me taking quite a lot of videos with my good and old N73. Bad luck for me, I never updated my N73's firmware every since I bought it and apparently there's some fatal flaw with my very old firmware where the phone will sometimes fail to save the video I recorded. Well it happened like 3-4 times if I count correctly. :-(

Even though I can solve this by upgrading firmware, every since the last trip, I'm now hooked on taking good photos and videos and want to get a digital camera that can do both well and better than a good camera phone like SE C905/Samsung i850/LG Renoir or other good camera phones out there can do.

Any recommendation on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. :-)

I'd recommend you wait for the 500D's release - it looks really good of a DSLR body to be replacing the 450D. I'd suggest you to forget Sony DSLRs unless you're an adventurous bloke and don't mind facing dodgy aftersales service/lens headaches/unavailability of lenses to purchase/etc.

IMHO it's best to stick with the giants - it's not like they produce inferior DSLRs either...

If you're ok with knowing you're using something that you don't know where it has been, go ahead and get it - that's quite an OK-OK price.

If you don't want to be using something second-hand then there are lots of other choices.

Well, in the RM1.5k price range you'll get the cream of the crop. There are a few choices you can make:

1. Panasonic Lumix LX3
2. Canon Ixus 980 IS
3. Fujifilm F200EXR
4. Canon Ixus 870 IS

These are the mostly chosen ones. Just a few quotes: the LX3 is undoubtedly the best, but if you want a touch of style to your digicam, then get the Canons. If you want to do low light shots (dimly-lit indoor shots) then get the F200EXR.

If you're really into style then go for the T700, but if you don't mind sacrificing a BIT of style then you should refer to my above post.

860 would be better. You've mentioned it - wide angle. It's very handy when you're shooting in cramped places. The FZ15 doesn't let Panasonic down though - its image quality is really good.

For concerts, the LX3 would do best - it has a wide f2.0 aperture... parties too.. But it has a measly 2x zoom. So yeah.

If you need the zoom then go for the FZ28. It's not a bad choice to make - but if you're a pixel peeper or do care a lot about picture quality then get the LX3.

IXUS 860is vs FZ15? I think you have the alphabets wrong! FZ15 is a very old dSLR 4 Megapixel, 36 - 432 mm (12x zoom)
IXUS 860IS's 28mm vs FS15's 29mm lens. on paper 1mm difference?

Other major considerations are:-
1. 8.0 Megapixel with 28-105mm vs 12.1 Megapixel with 29-145mm
2. 3-4 months warranty vs brand new DMC-FS15, Jan 2009 model with 33 mths warranty (before31stMay2009)
Like I said you do your maths first ya?

i already have a Panasonic Lumix LX-3,
but sometimes i feel that there's something missing, especially the zoom of this camera.
can anyone suggest a camera, preferably a DSLR that can work along with my LX-3??

THanks bro! Now im off to garage sales... LX3. ^^

hello there...i want to ask something..yesterday i went to times square to survey for the price of panasonic fs15..they quote me rm750. But then the salesman recommend me to take kodak m1033 which cost onli rm699. Which one is better and what u guys recommend?would appreciate for u guys' opinions.

Err kodak... this is an ancient brand. I don't know about others but give me FREE! I also don't wan!
Don't buy anything from that Times Square shop! Check the post above on prices and freebies for FS15.

Kodak had exited Malaysia market for their range of consumers products. Last I heard, all Kodak film, paper and chemicals is distribute by Wywy and all Kodak digital cameras is distribute by Compugates.
