Planning to buy new digicam

**Psylocke** · December 14th, 2006 04:16 PM

latest yata na xacti yung HD1, hi definition video mode 1280x960 yata pero parang interpolated lang...

parang mabusisi yung xacti walang built-in lens cover tapos kailangan mo pang i-swivel out yung LCD... probably not for everyday carry...

ok ba xacti sa low light shooting?

Videocam naman ang Xacti not Handycam, sorry sa OT hehe, ako may pasimuno :P

mura nga dyan sa mayers, pero hindi kasi ako nagagawi dyan, especially this christmas season, mukhang mahirap magpunta dyan. how much kaya price diff kung sa HK bibili? gagamitin ko sana sa disney. ang bagal kasi mag shoot nitong Pentax ko, hindi ko lagi macapture yung mga kodak moments, nakakainit ng ulo.

you can check the HK prices here which you can use to compare to Mayer's (if you can get through their always busy phone line).

Btw, I think HK-purchased digicams' warranty are not honored here. I'm not very sure, though.

You are a perfect candidate for a D-SLR upgrade!

I have my Sony P200 for a year now, and it is taking great pictures.
Also what is good about this digicam is fast at startup and refresh rate is fast too. Also this has manual controls, and must feature for amateur shooters who are planning to have DSLR soon.
It is highly recommened at www.dpreview.com and great user photo result at www.trekearth.com.

Not to mention the menus is very user friendly. And if you buy this, don't forget to buy extra memory since this one comes with 16Mb MS. If you buy MS Pro Duo, you need to buy an adapter. And it supports MPEG4 video capture.

I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for P&S cam with a taste of manual control.

i recommend the Canon A700 hehe or better yet the A710is..very fast startup, excellent pictures, 6MP and best of all a class leading 6X zoom (for canon PnS models), all for way below 20k...approx 20k for the IS version

I always get my digicams / videocams from Ramon King - owner of Mayer Photo. His prices are normally 30%~40% lower than mall prices. Yun lang nga, cash basis only. Malaki talaga margin ng mall stores - that's why they can give you 0% for 12-months. Even Alex of Ambassador can't beat his prices.

He has the PowerShot SD800IS on stock for P16,500.- (sealed box, with original Canon warranty). If you call Super East/Canon Phils., they'll tell you he's one of their top 3 resellers by volume. He carries practically all brands.
