As far as I know...1. If you are aiming for powerful zoom...
Panasonic FZ1 or FZ2, 12x optical zoom, LEICA Lense,2M pixel, image stablizer
around S$550-600, but no full manual control.
Olympus C740, 10x optimal zoom, 3.2M pixel,
more compact and lighter compared with FZ1,
around S$650.
2. Compact and Light with good picture quality.
Nikon 4300, 4.3M pixel, 3x zoom, very good image quality.
around S$650.
Canon A70, 3M pixel, 3x zoom, full manual control,
ideal for amatuer who wants to experiment, good image quality
around S$500.
Minolta F200 is also a good one but don't how much it is.
3. Extremely light.
Don't know. If you are not a girl, don't buy this type.
:^) Thanks a lot. Some q's...
1) About Canon A70
Do you really consider its image quality good? I did compare images taken from the same indoor scenen with Canon Axx (forgot the exact model, but should be the direct predecessor of A70) and Nikon 3100, Canon's scene depth is too obviously _flat_ as compared to Nikon's.
2) About Sony
How's it? I came across some good stories about Sony DSC-P72 in the range. I also personally went down to a Sony dealer and the camera looks nice to me too. Any experience to share on it?
Thanks again! :^)
