Try Panasonic FX series
I've got a FX-01 and bought a underwater housing to do Scuba Diving Photography and its perfect if you looking for something compact with a big screen and light that should satisfy you but if you want and SLR I wouldn't know what to recommend you then lol -
IMO, if a camera is too light, it is more prone to handshake when one is pressing down on the shutter button. It needs to be slightly heavy to be steady in your hand. So a light and small camera is not always a good thing.Originally posted by pierre^^:Must be light and have big screen
I currently own a Nikon Coolpix S3, but i found that it is nt very useful when taking pics w/o flash as easily blur lei
Does ani one own a S5, hw issit ah -
In DSLR terms,Originally posted by mrsmall:casio

Casio = NDNT (no dslr no talk)
Kodak = NDNT
Canon = King of market
Nikon = Rival King of market
Sony = newbie
Olympus = Trying to be king
Panasonic = Want to be king
Pentax = Want to be king
Samsung = Replace the label and say I made it
Fuji = Niche Market
Leica = King of the Niche Market
Contax = RIP
Konica Minolta = RIP (Eaten by Sony)
So there's your generalization for you... -
No matter the technology, with/out flash, I seem to have problems with Sony's SSS(PLBV?Originally posted by PointBlue:Nonsense. Sony's SS technology involves shifting the CCD of your device to counteract your motion, controlled by two gyros detecting horizontal and vertical shake. It is very effective, allowing you to shoot up to 3 stops faster than recommended.
Many people here do not know what they're talking about.
). Surprisingly, brands like Samsung and Casio have much better anti-shake than Sony's (low range, I havent tried the SSS on Alpha yet).
Samsung low range cams (S series) kinda jialat. But new generation (NV series) draws gd feedback/reviews. Casio cameras are slim and print-outs are nice for mid-range (Z 60/600/70) but CMI for high end (Z1000 and S770).
p/s: waaaah PointBlue getting D80 ah? *envy* I also saving money for it... still long way to fo though

Pre-PMA 2006: Fujifilm has unveiled the successor to the award-winning FinePix F10/F11, with the world's first digital compact camera to feature an ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution. The 6.3 megapixel FinePix F30 features the newly developed sixth generation Super CCD and Fujifilm’s groundbreaking Real Photo Processor II. The F30 also features a new ‘intelligent flash’ system which uses the camera’s sensitivity to combine natural foreground illumination with balanced exposure in the background.

go to the link.. Fuji is good for its ISO plus it have manual override.. to a certain extend u can adjust your apueture and shutter speed... :> -
A digital camera with a entry level of SLR.. the price im not wrong u can get is around 649 ba.. plus 1GB of XD memory card and free batt. Look out for the next IT fair.. coming soon.... or u may want to get the F11(Price should be lower now) is also not bad but less ISO1600, Noise level also quite low...

The other issue is the shape of the camera. personally, I hate those little boxy jobs - they're awkward to hold and keep steady.Originally posted by Croaking_Toad:IMO, if a camera is too light, it is more prone to handshake when one is pressing down on the shutter button.

For the past few years I've been quite happy with my Canon PowerShot S1IS. It's got 10X optical zoom, manual setting options, takes AA batteries so I've always got available power and it's comfortable to hold. The S1's now been superceded with the S3IS which has 6MP compared to the S1's 3.2, and it also has a macro setting for the lens which the S1 didn't.
Rather than using the automatic setting, I usually go for manual and get some half-decent results in various lighting conditions.
Natural sunlight:
Overcast:
Light box:
Red tungsten light:
The one key issue I have with the S1 (and I believe this applies to the S3 as well) is shutter lag. I miss a lot of shots because the moment is over by the time the camera's done thinking about what it's going to do. In a few months I'll probably move over to a Canon 400D DSLR and hope that cures my ills. -
D80 or D200, dunno which to choose leh... if I get D80 then I will be able to get the Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 also...Originally posted by Haoz30:No matter the technology, with/out flash, I seem to have problems with Sony's SSS(PLBV? ).

I have a friend who owns a S3IS, tried it and I thought it was not bad for a prosumer camera. Didn't like the tiny grip thoughOriginally posted by Gedanken:The other issue is the shape of the camera. personally, I hate those little boxy jobs - they're awkward to hold and keep steady.

With ur skills, u might be better off with a D200. Personally I find the D200 with the tele lens a bit too heavy for my liking =P And I'm not yet pro enuff to put the D200 to full use.Originally posted by PointBlue:D80 or D200, dunno which to choose leh... if I get D80 then I will be able to get the Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 also...

I no skills la, luck onlyOriginally posted by Haoz30:With ur skills, u might be better off with a D200. Personally I find the D200 with the tele lens a bit too heavy for my liking =P And I'm not yet pro enuff to put the D200 to full use. 
Anyway, I think I rather get the D80 since the specs aren't that different, and camera resale value falls a lot while the lens won't depreciate as much. -
Fair enough.Originally posted by PointBlue:I have a friend who owns a S3IS, tried it and I thought it was not bad for a prosumer camera. Didn't like the tiny grip though too used to SLR grips I've tried the D70 and the 350D, and I find the D70's grip a bit too fat. -
