Thanks joyyy!

I've been using Pana Lumix FX9 for nearly 3 years. Its image stabiliser (MEGA OIS) works great for a PNS compared to other brands during that time. But shots with high ISO got issues with noise, all PNS got noise but Lumix just got far more than the other brands. I guess that they have improved further on the current models with more features and cheaper too. For value-for-money, Pana Lumix LX3 is nice but it is not good looking .

You sure have a big budget here.

Here, I'll give a few suggestions. Nikon Coolpix P6000 (I'm seriously impressed by this one, I didn't expect Nikon to come up with this) or the Panasonic Lumix LX3. The P6000 is RM1.5-1.6k while the LX3 is around RM1.6k-1.7k... not sure about the prices, that's a rough estimate, might be lower/higher. Both are prosumers, which are a notch up from the normal PnS.

You should read a few reviews to compare pros and cons, and then make your choice.

Happy reading.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : compact
Budget : RM1100 - 1300
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon or Lumix
Type of photography u want to do : Outdoor, holiday trips, party
Any specific models in mind? : Canon 870IS or Lumix FX38
Any specific features u want? : No idea, just need a slightly better compact digicam. I like the idea of Wide angle though..

The FX38 will do slightly better than the IXUS. Seen both, tried before, I'm happier with the FX38, if you're not going for looks.

@TheWandererX

thanks.

Nikon Coolpix P6000 and Panasonic Lumix LX3.

i got a feeling i dont like this Nikon..


what u say?

If you don't like it, it's fine - your choice and my choice would surely be different.

I tried out the P6000 while I was on vacation - an uncle brought it along... I got to play with it, have a look at the PQ, and I can say it produces very good pictures even with its tiny sensor with a 14.x megapixel count (sorry, forgot how many, and I don't want to Google it to look smart or anything).

It isn't a bad camera - in fact this is one Nikon tiny camera I've gotten to like.

got nikon s200 previously... i dont like it at all.. this P6000 totally diff then other nikon compact camera?

Yes, I can assure you. In my opinion it's the best tiny camera Nikon has made.

Here, there're more reviews of this sort, just Google for 'nikon coolpix p6000 review'.

I'm not pushing it into you - I'm just showing you what it can do. Please don't regard this post as a biased post.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR camera
Budget : RM5000-6000 include kitlens
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape, Portrait, animal, funphoto
Any specific models in mind? : 50D
Any specific features u want? : -

Hello guys and gals, all sifu and gurus, I'm currently looking for a DSLR. I had a F80 years ago. Got it in photoselangor. Stopped for a few years. Now I wanna get one so that I can start photography again. I've surf here and a few other forum. Hope to get some pointers and advice. I'm looking at Eos 50D, not sure if it will suite me. I changed from Nikon and wanted to switch to canon because my brother is using eos. So we can share lenses and he can borrow my camera for his own use as second camera.

Thanks in advance.

Would be best if you got a 50D with 18-200 kit set. A bit more over your budget (I think) but it's well worth it.

Canon EOS 1000D with kitlens how much? Any recommended shop around KL/Melaka?
