great camera! compact yet powerful. only a few minor flaw

-1.5" LCD is a bit stingy, but smaller LCD size reduces power consumption

-uses AA batteries. from previous experience. a grand daddy minolta digicam. AA batteries cannot last very long. so need to invest quite a sum for a few sets. but then again. mine was a grand daddy digicam.

-upgrading problems. if u're an enthusiast. then u might have to fork out a sum of $$ to buy an adapter b4 u can attach any lens/filter (eg wide angle lens, tele lens, UV filter, ND filter etc. ) on yr camera. i dunno how much is the adapter, but expect it at least > RM 100

-max aperature only at f 2.8. so should think twice abt it if u like to play with the depth of field

-no hot shoe for external flash. so u can only rely on the built in flash. external flash can yield better exposed shot with bouncing technique

- the protruding lens might take a bit of time while starting up/ shutting down the camera. and also need to take xtra care, try not to swing/shake the camera while the lens is out.

these are just minor ones. but the camera rewards u with high quailty pics, very detailed for its class @ a price other brands kenot beat! esp Sony

the camera itself is worth to mention oso, solidly built. a combination of metal & plastic keeps the weight of the camera down.

but nothing beats a hands on approach. if u happen to have any fren using this camera. pinjam & use it 4 a few days.

just my humble opinions. i'm a newbie in photography :)

A friend of mine bought this camera..
She say this camera got Digital SLR type of feature ...

Me being a newbie... dunno wat's the different of SLR.. hehe!

Wondering anyone care to explain a bit ah .. hehehe

rotating LCD? a lot mate. canon powershot G4 & G5. nikon coolpix 8700. minolta dimage A1. all are high end cameras. so...a bit pricey. i'm not very sure how much. but should be well over $3k. the cheapest here is G5. $2.5k+ with free gifts.

try using a tripod + timer. tat should help to take better pics rather than rotating the LCD screen.

but wat bout ixus400 or v3??? compare to A80! can anyone enlighten me?  i dunno much bout cameras!! but planning to get either A80 or ixus400

ixus 400 is more to point & shoot cameras. less manual functions for u to play with. so if u're into photography. A80 would be a better choice. as 4 those who's gonna buy a new digicam. try to wait 4 a few months. coz a lot of cameras are rolling out soon. like canon powershot S1 pro, ixus 410, a75 etc..sony oso got a few models take a look here

canon

sony
