I think you should settle for the Lumix LX3. It's the best prosumer you can get in the market at the moment. It's RM1.5k (around there) by the way.
Or, you can choose to get a Sony a200, a DSLR, for RM1.4k. Thanks But Lumix LX3 zooming capabilities only 2.5 compare to Cybershot DSC H50 ( 15x ) and LUMIX DMC-FZ28 ( 18x ) . Does DSLR camera required any extra care/maintenance?  I'm beginner and looking own my first camera  |

QUOTE(TheWandererX @ Dec 28 2008, 06:43 PM) Ohh. You're looking for zoom. Then get the FZ28. I can't comment on the previous experiences with Sony point-and-shoot cameras. Read up there, I can see joyyy also discourages it. DSLRs need a BIT of extra care & maintainence. Let's say you get a 1000D. You'll need to be careful with the lens and the body, no dropping it, slight drops are ok but don't let it happen. You have to clean the lens often so that dust doesn't accumulate. When you change lenses, you HAVE to be careful NOT to let any dust in. Lenses may have back focus/front focus problems. You'll have to send for calibration regularly. Same goes for the body. Has to go for checkups. I can't think of more. =/ I been checking price for Panasonic Lumix FZ28 today in sg wang and low yat. Priced range RM 1200 - 1400. I want know what things to check when to buy the camera , any trick by seller? How to check all accessories are original??  |
