I own the Canon S1 IS and I'm pretty satisifed with it.

Although, nowadays, if i would buy a camera, i would probably go for the Panasonic FZ5.

I would think as well on the Canon S2 IS, but i havn't heard too much on it so far.

For the Panasonic, i know two people that bought it and i very happy with it.

Good Luck making the right decision.

Do the S2 and S1 have a flip-LCD or is it just flat to the back?

I see...but I would love to have a look at a sample of the white dots.

I've decided on Panasonic FZ5, gotta find time to ask a few more shops. Will have to pay by credit card, not enough cash.

The cheapest I asked for FZ5 was RM1600 ($421) and add another 512MB SD card was RM160 ($42).

Eh, dang... I said that already in the previous page.

S2 I heard the price will be around RM2000 ($526), now, that's a lot.

S1 has one... and I think S2 should have too. This is from a S1.

I'm outside now and deciding on Sony DSC-H1 and Panasonic FZ-5. Tough choice. Well, that shop guy suggested I take Sony because they don't have the black FZ5 in stock, left silver only.

Dang... how how how? Any idea on Sony DSC-H1? I heard the movie mode is good but over-sharpened on pictures.

They quote me RM1800 for both but if I take Sony, it will only come with 256MB memory whereas Panasonic comes with 512MB.

Sony memory sticks cost a lot I think....

Adrian Wong · 2nd Jul 2005, 03:32 PM

Get the camera you like... Don't worry about how much memory it comes with. You can always buy additional media.

Or heck, just get a Nikon D70S or D50!!!

Dashken · 2nd Jul 2005, 05:50 PM

D70s they quote me RM3500... D50, RM3400...

Better get D70s lo... but I where got so rich la...

Just got the Panasonic FZ-5 for RM1749 including a sipek short tripod... and a 512MB SD card. And also a screen protector for RM39... clean total, RM1787. Not bad la... went to so many shops and asked already... that's one of the cheapest I got.

Yay! Charging battery time...

But I never expect the FZ-5 to be so small in person... expected it to be a bit bigger.

i might be getting a digital camera this year. any suggestions?? budget around rm1500 and below...i might add a hundred or two but nothing too fancy for me coz i really know nothing bout those photocapturing techniques u guys mentioned here...

well anyway i'll be using it mainly for snapping photos and upload them on the web. i want something that produce clear and colourful pictures. the pictures are to be put into web album. i'm seriously planning to build a personal website and a digicam is very handy.

well.......sony's digicams looks nice enough.....the T3 and T33 series ok??
