My post was with reference to availability of the LX3. IIRC, it wasn't available anywhere. As TSK put it, a newer version comes out every year. I'd removed the order part of the from the Quote, because it had nothing to do with your cam's order.

Its with a 10MP high sensitivity 1/1.7" 10 MP CCD, finally they are concentrating on image quality more than build/feature quality on the G series. They even launched S90 which is almost the G11 without the hotshoe and zoom. Wish I can lay my hands on a G11 before the auto expo.

My son has my old G2 (I got it in Oct 2001) and it still makes nice pics. I got a 420EX flash with it and it feels so funny using a flash that is almost as big as the camera. I think a P&S with a hot show is really defeating the purpose (unless you use a very compact flash like the Canon 220 or something).

My reason for getting the flash was to use bounce on my son (who was born a few months later). Our doc advised us that new born babies cannot handle flash directed straight at them.

Depends on ones priorities I guess. I end up carrying the cam around everywhere, in fact i might forget the phone but the camera. At home and indoors I've found bouncing to be miles ahead of the in-the-face camera flash with no dark shadows behind.

Absolutely guys! One can wait for eternity, in anticipation of the *next big thing* in the electronics world.

The LX3 suits my needs to the T. And, it is what you click, rather than the camera, that makes things interesting, wot?

Went by last evening to pick the cam up. Only available in silver, black will take another 5 - 7 days.

Will wait.

When I'm clicking pics with Canon Powershot A460, after a shot the camera takes too much of time to get ready for the next shot even if the battery is fully charged.

Is this common with Point & Shoot Cameras ?

[Technocrat]

Yes some cameras do take longer times than others.

Btw check if your Flash strength is set to higher than normal.

I have the same issue when I am taking pics on my Canon Powershot A590!!!
The screen completely goes blank whereas while I am shooting with Canon S5 the flash amber light keeps on blinking for some time but the display does not go away!!!

This is only there when the flash is set to ON on the A590!!!

Good decision. IMO, Panasonic cameras in Silver just don't have that new camera look & feel. When I was planning to buy the FZ28, my 1st choice was Silver; but when I saw it in the flesh, I changed my choice to Black on the spot! I know there's no logic or rationale to my statement, just my opinion / perception.

Btw, in case no one has mentioned it yet - Panny's are AWESOME! You will NOT regret your choice.

Cheers,
Vikram

Which of the follwing would be a better choice?

Canon A2100 12MP,6x zoom, 16K
Canon A2000 10MP,6x zoom, 13k
Canon A1100 12MP,4x zoom, 10k

I have an A2000 bought immediately after launch last year, and its pretty good for P&S novice photography.
The image quality is flawless at that price point, but I have read about people cribbing because it lacks the manual controls of its predecessor (the A720 IS). If you are getting it for around 10-12k , go for it, as you wont be disappointed. I wasnt (so far...).

Hey Friends,

I currently shoot with a Canon Powershot A640 (7.1mp 4x). Its served me well for the last 3.5years. I am looking for an upgrade now.

I have shortlisted the Sony DSC-HX1. So, I'd love to you reviews from all for this model especially from its users for first hand feedback and experts who can read between the lines/number on its spec-sheets.

Also I am open to suggestions for anything better based on the following things i'm looking for.
(Budget: 30k Max with all accessories. Buying from US is also an open option, so suggest accordidngly)
1. Great Image Quality (even in low light or night modes)
2. Super Zoom
3. Great Video Quality with higher resolutions and optical zoom available in video (My current canon shoots videos only at 640x480 at 30fps and no optical zoom is available while shooting)
4. Comparatively easier to use, since i'd like to catch my daughter red-handed while doing all the fun stuff then be juggling through the settings . On my current Canon, there are quite a few things to play with too, but DSLR are too complicated to be Fun.

Like always, All suggestions are welcome..

[phamilyman]

buy a real SLR. Everything else is a toy - because size (of sensor) really does matter!
