Olympus C700Uz would be a good choice.

Xeviouss,

Are you looking for a Digital or a Film camera?

Assuming you are looking for a FILM camera, I'd recommend the Ricoh GR-1V. Ultra compact, fast and sharp 28mm f/2.8 lens. In street photography, you want to be as discreet as possible.

Thx for the replies...im having a hard time reading at home due to the slow loading...(thinks its a scv prob)

Anyway, guys i m looking for a digital camera....

yes, n i hope it can b as compact as possible...

Btw can i know what exactly does a teleconverter do? (Meanwhile i try to search dpr's glossary)

And i was looking at some cameras like CP885, and i was wondering what will i be forgoing since nikon cameras have a shorter min* shutter compared to other cameras.

Assuming for a still object/matter, would a long shutter mean better pics?

Sry for the many qns.....
