Need your suggestions on which digital compact camera to buy

[blueskye168]

Hi guys,

I have decided to buy a digital compact camera but with so many in the market, I need your suggestions given my photographic needs.

1) It must have between 7 to 10 megapixels.
2) At least 5x optical zoom preferably 10x.
3) An option for Shutter or Manual modes.
4) ISO 1600 at least.

I guess these are what I want in a camera. Design wise, I rather like the Nikon Coolpix range - the ones with handle grip. But that is secondary.

Thanks!

Hi For your case(due to currently available P&S)may have to sort of like 'give & take abit' either let go abit on the optical zoom eg 3-5X or ISO noise. Just my point of view only, may consider F30/31fd(very gd noise even high ISO) or TZ1(10x optical & OIS)

What do you guys think about Lumix LX1 or LX2??

Think I might just drop the zoom lens after all.....

Hmmm....G7...I'm tempted as well but will hit hard on the pocket! Given the price, maybe I should get a DSLR instead...
