Cheers rxpharm,

Optic's & Location/lighting of shoot will always win over megapixels.

Thanks again :wink:

I just bought a Panny FX35, one of the best compact cameras which outweighs the others for one reason.... it has 720p HDD video on it, the quality pretty much of an older analogue video camera which you can play full screen even on a larger Mac monitor!

Also its fully widescreen, so all shots fill a widescreen monitor!

Worth a look!

There's better camera's mentioned here than this new Sony regards low light bar and room shots and considerably better priced ... Half the cost in some cases than this model.

If your going to be taking out door shots, daylight photos then this Sony will give you good quality, high defination and allow you to trim your photos and still achieve good defination prints. If your a photo pc viewer then why pay more than you need.

Try to overlook the high pixel factor and its still only 3x zoom same as many lower priced cameras.

I personally like the build quality of the new Sony but i'd use a sandwich box casing with good optics if it achieved the quality i was after. Try to overlook a camera casings good looks it's photo quality first you want and that depends on where you'll be using it most.

I'd look back through some of the camera's earlier mentioned as some of the best photos i've seen lately where taken with a £55/ 3,500baht Samsung as used by Donnykey & Pentire and they'll happilly give you the model number

Best wishes,

Karl.

And there should be some problems if it is stolen or lost :?
I will look at the Dubai duty free for one which has quality defination and a good price of course !!!

I have a Panasonic TZ3 a bit older now, but still works well. 7.1 mp, 10x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, etc. Nice size, just pocketable.

If you search you may find a TZ5 as they are on clearance now the TZ7 is out.

If you want some more manual adjustments the Panasonic LZ 3 is a good choice.

For low light point and shoots the Fuji F40d was the king, but their newer models of the same variant are still good.

As said before my vote goes to Panasonic TZ5 to.

I had this camera now for the second time on field and can only say it is ideal camera for LOS picturing :
- small enough to fit into trousers pocket (where I had it for my two trips),
- battery lasts for a lot of pictures (frankly I don’t know how much, I know I used 2 batteries for my whole trip – more than 500 shots),
- 10x zoom,
- Fast response time,
- Clear pictures and super display,
- Good pictures in dark....

This camera is battle proven and I can only say It's worth every EUR you spent for it. If you have more EUR to spend, then buy newer TZ7 mainly because of better movie compression, this is only weakness of TZ5 – long movie files.

I'm waiting for the model with the x-ray vision!

[RobiSLO]

For LOS x-ray vision is useless, I think you can already see to much - no shy girls in Pattaya or Nana. :evil:
