Compact Camera Qns

[ahappyme]

Hi,

I want to buy compact digital camera but I'm not a pro in photography or in cameras. Thus, I need some advise from you.

Any idea what should I look out for when looking for cameras?
Any good and affordable camera recommendation (camera mainly use for holiday trips)?
Budget < $400 possible?

Thank you!

Just go to any harvey norman, courts, etc, see all the sony, canon and panasonic compact cameras that fit your budget, then get the one where you like the way it looks and where you like the user interface, etc.

At your budget, there's not much difference in image quality among compact cameras.

it will be easier if you could list down what functions you want on a camera..
eg.. longer zoom, wide, wifi, tiltable lcd, touch screen, manual and so on..

check on the website of your fav brands and read reviews.. short list a few..
go to the big mall and hold them and see how it feel on your hand...
ask/call/email/pm for quotation from reputable camera stores..

if you fancy canon and sony, have a look at Canon HS series and Sony H series.. but do not dismiss other brands..
Canon powershot N?

if you want serious compact camera and can up ur budget ard $600.. have a look at
Canon S110
Panasonic LX7
Olympus XZ2
Pentax MX-1
