Thanks TheWandererX. Really appreciate it. BTW, im in singapore now just want to compare the price with KL. Now decided to buy in KL instead, coz here after convert price in KL much more cheaper. Eg. EOS1000D here is SGD1099 with a 8GB Mem and original beg.

I feel that you ought to get a camera which uses Li-ion batteries. Although AA batteries are indeed easily obtained, they certainly do not last as long as Li-ion batteries.Type of camera/lens/accesories : any Budget: under rm500 Your Location: pj/kl Preferable brand : any Type of photography u want to do : normal Any specific models in mind? : any Any specific features u want? : uses aa batteries, image stabilisation, preferably uses sd or cf memory card thanks in advance.  |

Found out that these items are within your budget. I think you may take them into consideration before purchasing any.

QUOTE(Freenitor @ Dec 4 2008, 12:09 AM) Which one better? Nikon Coolpix S550 or S210? It depends on which part of both cameras you like more. Also known as personal preference.Is there any better camera i can get the same price? Any brand will do. In my opinion, most cameras around your range are almost the same... It's just that some have different features... while some don't. It really is up to you to choose. QUOTE(pogo @ Dec 4 2008, 08:54 AM) I've walked into quite a number of camera shops. I think the L18 and the Lumix LS80 would appeal to you most. These two are ok-ok cameras for their range. About the others, I've never seen or used before, so I can't comment. Found out that these items are within your budget. I think you may take them into consideration before purchasing any.

Depends on which model you want. Just a note: low-end to mid-end Lumixes lose out in JPEG processing and low light photography. |

Now im thinking of the Canon SX110 and TZ-5 . Any specific features u want? Nice pic quality and a superzoom =D Going to college next year, so i figured a camera would do me good.

Anyway, the entry-level DSLRs are: Canon EOS-1000D - Kit 2k Sony a200 - Kit 1.4k, Twin kit 2k Sony a350 - Kit 2k+ Nikon D60 - Kit 2k Nikon D80 - (used) kit 2k Olympus E-520 - (used) kit 2k You'd be better off choosing a new set, but I just quoted the others for your reference. Anyway, twin kit is camera body + lens + another lens. = 2 lenses. QUOTE(tnhafiz @ Dec 4 2008, 07:50 PM) hehe.but LX3 and FZ28 is over mu budget Try to squeeze in a bit more lo.  |

Flash expensive eh  Well it's just the way it is then. But once you've ventured deeper into the DSLR world, the price of a flash is nothing compared to lenses |

QUOTE(TheWandererX @ Dec 3 2008, 10:19 AM) If you're already well off in PnS and you want to move on, get a DSLR.. but if you're still not ready to venture into DSLR then get the LX3. AEB is a feature available in every prosumer/DSLR camera. Already settled down with the FZ28.. Oh.. you could ask your friend to get it for you then. Ok, if you think it sucks, then it's your opinion. Increase your budget a little more and get the LX3. The best prosumer around and trust me, you'll be happy about it. Anyway, if you really can't, have a look at the PowerShot S5 or the FZ28. These should be around your price range. If you can increase your budget, get an LX3 because there's not much choice in the prosumer range. Anyway, you could stick to your choices - but you should play with each one first. I've never used both so I can't comment.  Thanks for advice.  Cheers..  |
