Looking for cameras? Post all questions here!

Dashken · 5th Jun 2005, 08:23 PM

Ok, I'll start the ball rolling here. I am looking for new camera (again).

Yeah, the last time something happened and I scrapped that plan.

Anyway, I'm looking for a cheap and affordable camera, reasonable pixels, more than 3x optical zoom, cheap memory card (SD/CF/MMC) and under RM2000 (preferably).

At the moment, I'm looking at...

- Canon PowerShot S2 IS
- Canon PowerShot S1 IS
- Panasonic DMC-FZ20
- Panasonic DMC-FZ5

What do you think?

Do you think I should make this thread sticky?

choose the panasonic version. FZ20 is good enuf. the S1 the macro shoot is very hard. and the S2 people said overpriced.

OMG... just realize FZ20 is 2.4k+.

Just wondering, if I want to get 0% interest installment, do I ask the shop selling the camera or the bank?

Ask the shop. Different shops support different banks.

Also ask how much will it cost you if you pay CASH. Sometimes, they will give you a discount for cash.

How much is the old S7000?

I think it's a very good camera for its price.

Dashken · 6th Jun 2005, 01:41 AM

S7000 is still 2.7k if the price here is correct.
