If u are so sure that u want a good digi cam , then u can take any of the w series w-80 ( with anti-blurr ) and 8 mega pixels ....
also olympus also has a new model , which is very slim and has 8 mega pixels ... its a bit cheap than sony ... also has 4x optical zoom as to sony's 3x ....
choose b/w them ..... I think olympus is a FE series ...

If you're serious about taking good shots, why aren't Nikon or Canon in your choices?
I'd personally choose between Canon and Sony... Sony products tend to cost more without really much more. A lot of people prefer Nikon also. I prefer Canon since they have better after sales support and warranty in the Phil.

perhaps im not really so sure with other brand, and im affraid to buy a crappy one. yah, sony is tested by time. yah, the well known cybershot, but its too expensive. i think i have to read some reviews on cameras... not just looking to their big names on the ads. |

Try Kodak M883. Nice picture quality, slim, and a 3-inch screen. |

I've just bought the Panasonic TZ3. Great camera, 10x optical zoom, Mega Optical Image Stabilization (the best one in the biz), 7 megapixels, a 3" screen, and a wide angle Leica lens.
Seriously good pics. Considering that you've already got a K800 for taking 'normal' pictures, having a camera like the TZ3 means that you'll have more flexiblility with things like zoom range and wide angle photos. You won't regret it.

yes it is sumwhat like an auction site, for used gadgets..
and of course for brand new stuff...
there are other auction sites available in the Philippines,
auctions.ph / bidshot.com / tipidpc.com
choose whatever you want.. theres plenty. just follow the guidelines on the said sites.. then youll be on your way to a happy and secure online shopping.
you can use credit cards, if you want something more secure use paypal.
or to exactly be sure... do meet-ups. complete info is available on these sites so you wont get lost.

Tol, I suggest that you check out the powershot series of Canon. Might be slightly higher than your budget but I believe you won't regret it.
I remember the Canon A640 (10 mp) had good reviews but I think Canon already launched its newer sibling/s.
Sony, like what most say, are usually overpriced.
For cameras, I agree with one of the previous post about Canon and Nikon. I believe they are better and even more affordable/value for buck than Sony.
Also with Sony, you need to use Memory Sticks that are also very pricey compared to standard mem cards used by other brands. |
