Any alternative to LZ10?

[Revhappy]

Hi guys,

I am complete newbie at photography. I would like to start learning using a cheap compact camera with full manual controls. I believe Panasonic Lumix LZ10 is an excellent camera with full manual controls and priced at 200$. But it is obsolete and only 1 shop in Chinatown sells it.

Is there any other camera at similar price or may be 100$ more that has full manual controls and performs as good as or better than LZ10? Please advise me.

Any suggestions welcome!!!

Cheers!

Why not try buying some older generations of Canon A series. Some shops still have stock for brand new ones.

Lumix LZ-8? seems to have manual controls too.... Not sure how much it costs though.

Lumix LZ-8 is also obsolete.

But I managed to get a Nikon CoolPix P50 at Best Denki, Tampines. That model is also outdated. But I got a display set for 129$;p. It had a light scratch on the LCD, but thats ok, as long as image quality is not affected.

Anybody has experience with the Nikon P50?
