Undecided

I went to Suntec City twice last Friday with my colleague to visit the IT fair. Alas, I'm still without a new digicam. =(

Rebecca got her new webcam. We went around so many booths to collect brochures, sampled and made enquiries. I got confused reading so many reviews.

In no order of preference, I've these digicams in consideration:
1) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9:
- 6 Megapix with OIS, 2.5" LCD, LEICA lens

2) Nikon Coolpix P4:
- 8.1 Megapix, 2.5" LCD, 3.5 optic zoom

3) Canon PowerShot A620:
- 7.1 Megapix CCD, swivel LCD

I find ultra-compact cameras somewhat a hazard to my fingers (which can be like melted-butter at times). Yeah, there's the lanyard but no thanks. Unless they can also be damage-proof (to the camera, my head & my heart), they can never make it into my list.

Asking my Dad for his opinions was a mistake. He's pro-SLR. I'm a photo-enthusiast but I don't need that kinda bulk in my bag everyday.

So... for now, I will continue to depend on the outdated, free Sony CyberShot 2.0 megapixel digicam. Sony didn't make it to my list thanks to Kenny's review. Till June, latest. ;)


P.S The Doctor, my deepest condolences. Keep faith.
