Those two looks good. But got mixed reviews for the T33.

Been using the canon powershot 2 for the last few years, went to the pc fair over the weekend to look for an upgrage. so far interested me are the ARP's favourited Nikon D70s, canon EOS350D. Both are excellent, the former we hv heard a lot thr ARP forum , how about the canon ? It came with a free powergrip, really bulky, quite a handful to hold on to. The other alternative is the Canon S2 IS which hv mention above thread .

LOL!! thanks but i would prefer anything less bulky and easier to carry around for a gal...just one that's good enough for taking good quality photos and upload them on the web later.
Nikon D70s??you gotta be kidding.....way over my rm1500 budget

From dpreview...

But ultimately the appeal of the S2 IS goes beyond simple pixel-peeping; it has a class-leading feature set, a very reliable image stabilization system (the benefits of which cannot be overstated) and superb handling. It's well-priced, incredibly versatile and - above all - highly enjoyable to use. For fast action (where the focus system still isn't fast enough), I'd go for the Panasonic FZ5, and it will be interesting to see how the Sony H1 fares in our upcoming review, but for sheer shooting pleasure and versatility the PowerShot S2 IS takes some beating.

Well.. for fast action, FZ5 seems like the way to go. S2 top FZ5 on the swivel screen...

manual focus, Aperture range and well... they have two movie clips sizes.

The other day I got the chance to hold a Sony H1, well... it's pretty cool with the 2.5" screen...

but still... I bought the FZ5.

so how do u like your new cam, dashky? i have an FZ-3 myself, but i find it not good enough(noise level, sharpness)...sigh, want to upgrade to a DSLR..but hav to work first...

Hey guys, i'm thinking of upgrading from my Panasonic DMC LC-33. I don't know why, no matter what I try, the shots don't seem vibrant enough, and it's quite hard trying to manipulate the shutter speeds and aperture sizes. And the flash on this digicam is horrible.

What i'm looking at is a digicam that will give me more flexibility in changing camera settings. More "manual" if u could put it that way. More possibilities to add other accessories in the future if i want to.

Should I go for a low end Digital SLR (eg. D70)eventhough I'm not THAT good at taking shots (esp. human shots) or a high end Digicam (eg. S2 IS, Ixus700, Nikon 8800)?

Which one should I get ... DSC-T33 sufficient enough for someone taking just some shots a month or should I go for the DSC-H1 instead? Both from Sony.

So where are the professionals? No suggestions?

Hmm...I have absolutely no idea with these models. Hopefully I can go to Sony Wing (Sony showroom) to try that out on Monday...
