Always check for dead pixel before buying...
Way to check:
- with the lens cover on, power on the camera.. this is to make the LCD goes all black. Then check if there is any pixel that is other then black color. That is the dead pixel.
Try all the basic feature on the spot, make sure flash work, zoom work, etc...
Happy shopping!!!

Hi uncle_will, (I assume you are quite coming with that nick
)If you look through the forum, you will find that most members buy their cameras from Cathay Photo, Alan Photo and John 3:16. They provide reasonably good (dare I say professional
) service and competitive prices. It will be prudent for you to check their prices before buying. Hope this helps

I wouldn't really say that Alan Photo provides reasonably good or professional service... While their pricing can be very competitive, they also are likely to chop u if u don't know what's the market price.. IMHO, go to Alan Photo ONLY if u have already done all your product and price research...

Actually my purpose for getting a dgcam was purely for normal usage i.e, taking pix for family and friends and pets. Dun think i'll be professional enuf to go buy the accessories... I'm actually quite blurred by the terms manual/compact, etc... Can recommend a cam suitable for me?
