Type of camera/lens/accesories : Compact
Budget: 1200 - 1500
Your Location: Petaling Jaya
Preferable brand : Panasonic or Canon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscapes, Family
Any specific models in mind? : FX48, TZ7,
Any specific features u want? : 3" LCD

Me and some members of the family planning to buy my Dad a new compact camera. But I can't find a source for reliable/easy comparison.

Mate, if u got budget around RM1200-1500 for compact camera, that's kinda huge. IMO, there are not much difference between digi compact camera, except for the size of the LCD screen. I suggest u go for panasonic or canon.

Have you tried the Canon PowerShot G10?
There'll be a new Canon PowerShot G11 coming out, however, that'll break the bank but the IQ (Image Quality) is superb.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : compact/normal digicam
Budget:RM200~400
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand :prefer reputable brands
Type of photography u want to do :normal photo
Any specific models in mind? : none
Any specific features u want? : anti-shake?

My Dad won't have the need for a Powershot coz he won't play with the Av/Tv unlike me with a DSLR.

So yeah. I need the recommendation of either Canon or Panasonic models with a minimum 3" LCD and obviously, image quality.

I'm dumb with DSLR, wanna ask for opinion.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget : 2K
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Nikon/Canon
Type of photography u want to do : Personal Use/Event/Etc
Any specific models in mind? : D60/EOS1000
Any specific features u want?: -

Budget and suits Beginner =)
Thanks.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : compact or semi-pro
Budget : 1000-1500 (can be slightly higher if worth it)
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : flexible
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape and Portrait
Any specific models in mind? : nope
Any specific features u want? : nope

help pls.. tqvm!

Either works. I personally prefer Canon's menu system.

Added on September 2, 2009, 8:38 pmGirls normally wouldn't lug a semi-pro either coz it can be heavier than a compact. For example; a powershot offers much features but it's heavier than a compact. Not to mention, bulkier.

The best question for yourself to ask is:
1. Will you play with the manual settings?
2. Will you want to invest in lenses - less shopping monthly?

Also, with that budget I'd say you're better off using a compact camera. Your portraits won't look great without a diffuser and directional flash gun - harsh flash is the biggest problem with compacts.

Wide angle would mean you need a wide lense on the camera. I've known Panasonic Lumix to be one of the widest around.

thx for the prompt reply. was actually considering lx3 as it was a recommendation from a friend of mine.
guess i wouldn't wanna step into semi pro then if i don't want the hassle of changing lenses, for some models of the semi pro.
so which compact will then fit into my budget?

Wah, Uncle Ian gonna get a Canon EOS 5D MkII?

which model have more varieties of Lenses?
