wow with 1500 budget you can get a really decent compact camera.
ixy 850 n 860 are old model and very hard to find.
replaced by 870 which is quite good.
9xx series dont have wide angle i think.
or you can top up to 1700 to get a Lumix LX3 but you get shorter zoom
but the image quality is
you get some manual mode too if you want to explore more into photography

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Point and Shoot digital camera
Budget: Less than RM1000
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : Any brand
Type of photography u want to do : Macro photography for products
Any specific models in mind? : Do not have to be new model, can be old and phase out model but as long as giving the good macro shoot.
Any specific features u want? : None, just want to focus on camera with really good macro shoot.

Thanks

TheWandererX and DecaPix.

Thank you both for your input

As both suggested Lumix LX3, I shall check it out. Okay, maybe i over-emphasized on picture quality. I mean, like 10mp is ok already, for me. I need a user friendly one too. Not like some that has too many hidden functions, and I have to take a few months to explore habis.

I've narrowed down my search to ixus 970is 870is and lumix lx3.

Any other suggestions, my fellow LYNs?

Hi,

i'm planning to buy a digital camera (semi pro / compact ) for my work as i'm a graphic designer who always need some pictures as references
i'm interested in this 3 model :-
a) Panasonic LX-3
b) Panasonic FZ-18
c) Ricoh R10 (not sure what is the price for this because my friend recommend me to check on Ricoh product which has a very good feedback, even better than LX-3)

can someone tell me what is the price for these cameras?
and which one is better ( color is the most i concern about )
or maybe pro n cons?

thanks a lots for the help

The LX3 will suit you best - unprecedented image quality.

About the Ricoh, I'm not convinced - it isn't a very popular brand so you might encounter some difficulty when you have problems with it.

I have no product knowledge of the Ricoh so Google a bit around and see what pops up. Apologies as I don't have access to a computer as of now, therefore I can't help you to source out reviews.

Good luck making your choice.

Hey,

I'd like to purchase a digital camera for normal use,preferably at pocket size. I've noticed Canon Digital Ixus 85. Can anyone tell me what price could it be? Or any other recommendation of camera below RM1000?

Thnx!

ok thanks guys decided to get either the a200 or 300..will test them 1st to see if a300 is woorth the extra money..

btw the prices of the dslr offered in sony center, are they more or less the same as the price offered in other camera shops?

Not too sure about that, but I think so.

Try dropping by the Sony Alpha thread and ask the guys there, they should be able to assist you with the price - maybe even a good place to get a great deal.

Good luck bro.

thanks alot man

thanks a lots.
now i know where should i head to.

Hi,

i'm planning to buy another digital camera (semi pro superzoom) for my traveling n hobby model kits use...... my old camera is panasonic compact digital camera (DMC-FX3)....

i'm interested in this 2 model :-
a) Canon Powershot sx1 / sx10
b) Panasonic FZ-28


can someone tell me what is the price for these cameras? and which one is better......

thanks a lots for the help

Im planning to get a portable digital camera and aiming to get one of SONY's T series but im not sure which one to get. Any ideas if the picture quality from these cameras are gud?

hey guys, i thought of posting here since i can't locate any threads about SLR cameras.

i'm currently looking for a Canon SLR camera. Canon AE-1 to be exact. Any idea which shop that carries a wide range of SLR cameras or even better, has this particular model for sale?

t series all f/3.5 aperture, is bad for indoor/ low light.

No problems - do post back if you have any other queries.

The FZ-28 is closest to best PQ in your choices, the others generally lose out.

It's about Rm1400 I think. Not really sure - you should do your own research to find out. Sorry, a bit pressed on time.

Um, would you mind using the template on the first page? It's far easier to know what you want from your digi cam.

Anyway, Sony digital point-and-shoots suck. Big time. Style with no performance.

i am looking for a camera that and kick start me with professional photography

i have no experience nor own a camera before ...


but i am eager to learn it any good recomendation ?

i go to shops they recon me nikon D60

Some people prefer style over performance. T series is touchscreen and is more towards entertainment, than serious photography. I got lots of girl friends who have those. Its more of an entertainment gadget. Even the colour scheme suggests that, with the colours varying from red to pink to green and blue

If you have a big pocket to spend, then get the Panasonic Lumix LX3. If you don't have 1.6-1.7k to spend, would you mind to use the template provided? It'll give us an idea of what to recommend.

Sony caters for style only - that is why we never recommend it to anyone looking to make the most bang for the buck. I have to admit though, their design is good. That is the only thing I like about Sony point and shoot cameras.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : << need recomendation>>
Budget: : less then 2k
Your Location: : USJ
Preferable brand : : <<need reconmendation>>
Type of photography u want to do : events, scenery, models
Any specific models in mind? : D60 D40 (recon by people)
Any specific features u want? : can play around with the features such as lighting , exposure and such
