Semi-PRO Camera Recommendation

[HKSboy]

Hi peeps,


I'm looking for a semi-pro camera with decent capability in low light.
Preferably with Wi-Fi (but not a must)
Preferably 5x zoom
Size: G15 is max size I can allow
Fast lens?
Budget~ $600

Current shortlisted:
Canon S110
Canon G15
Panasonic LX-7

Anybody can comment on the above mentioned models, or add on to the list?

Thanks a million.

for higher end compact.. have a look at these too..
Oly XZ-2
Pentax MX-1

or if u can save a bit more.. get Sony RX100

Current shortlisted:
Canon S110
Canon G15
Panasonic LX-7

these, including rx100, r considered old models (in term of technology). s120 n g16 r coming later next month. in term of value, s110 is a good buy now at $499 or less.

for those shortlisted model, i reckon the pics quality wouldn't b much diff under the layman's eyes like mine, n it wouldn't go wrong with any of these models.
the choice may boil down to your priority. eg. if small n light, go for s110/s120. if low light, go for lx7.

Saw the dpreview previously. Wanna know more hands on review fr users . Btw anybody owns a Olympus XZ-2? Seems cheap, but unable to have hamds-on feel at places like Best denki

Btw the LX-7 can easily get under $500. Dont thibk that guy is unable to clear off his camrra.
