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'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.

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!!!

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??
