What To Buy In the COmex Fair ? Is it worth it then ? bluecoral Aug 31st, 05, 11:13 AM #1 (permalink)
Hey guys new to the world of digicam...
and i am going to buy one digicam during this oncoming COmex.
Was wondering which brand and model is good...
so far i have some preferences
they are SONy, PANASONIC, fuji , casio and nikon
my budget is around 500-700

i was thinking nikon s1, panasonic lumix the latest one, sony t7, fuji xfilm and casio slim...

Anyone got any good recommendation tat is value for money and yet good to use...
the digicam should have at least a 5megapixel with recording function.

pls keep the recommendation flowing ! thanks alot !

Since you did not mention any budget, I would recommend the following:

Sony DSC W5
Canon PowerShot S2 IS

would recommend panasonic lumix 9 or something.. read reviews and it's good.. only thing i dun like is no view finder and not using aa batt.. prefer aa batts as no need to bring charger when gg overseas.. sony w5 is gd but i dun like it as it uses MS card.. which is ex =p
