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

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

    What do you think? :think:

    Do you think I should make this thread sticky? :think:

    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+. :think:

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

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

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

    I sell you my old S7000? LOL. joking. Still using it sometimes :p

    Considering something else? Like the A95? I think it's pretty good too for a regular P&S... Rm1699 with free Canon charger and 4x 2300mAh AA rechargebles, 256Mb CF, etc...

    LOL! peaz bought S7000 for like RM2.3k 'a few' years back! :haha:

    Yup, D70s is around that price. The prices do not drop everyday! :haha:

    Maybe you can get slightly below that, but not much.

    Gee...thanks! That's really a good offer. :beer:

    But of late, I'm haunted by this monster 'D70s'. Wherever I go, I'll keep a lookout for it. Visiting ARP doesn't help either! Guys here keeps on reminding me (esp the 2 Wongs) with their postings. *sigh* :(

    Huh? The other Wong is who? :think: :lol:

    A95 only 4x optical zoom right, or 3x? I used 3x zoom before, so little! :doh: That's why I'm currently looking at Panasonic DMC-FZ5, 12x zoom. Looks good. :D But no hot shoe la. :think:
