I'm assuming you are going to buy a new one? In that case start by looking at the reviews of the compact cameras in websites like www.dpreview.com, www.dcresource.com, www.imaging-resource.com etc.
Consider how much zoom you require, whether you require wide angles (24, 25, 28mm), whether you require manual controls over aperture, shutter speed etc, the size, color and other specifications e.g. HD video recording, stereo sound recording.
After considering all these factors and checking the manufacturers websites for the specifications, you can then go to Courts and have a feel of the cameras you have shortlisted. As for purchasing the cameras, shops like CP, TK, AP etc will offer better pricing than Courts/Harvey Normal/Best.
haha thanks...actualli i m juz buying a camera for v normal usage. of cos i wish the get the best value for money camera without compromising on the design as well (i m a noob lol). haha...ermmm i m not those pro users so i was hoping ppl who have already such cameras might be able to recommend me some models. i m an amateur for all those terms. lol!! the shops listed are in sls and funan?
Well, then I suggest visiting the manufacturer's web pages to see the design of the cameras. Generrally speaking, the Canon IXUS range is good for noobs, basically u point and shoot and you should get acceptable pics in most cases. I have been using Canon IXUS, S, G & A series over the last 10 years and they are pretty good value for money. If you want even better value for money then buy 2nd hand from the BnS forum.
You can check www.alanphoto.com.sg for the pricing of the digicams.

Anyway to push yr budget a little more? Look at the FujiFilm F200EXR ... damn good cam at that price range.
In that case, you can check out Canon IXUS, Fujifilm J/A and Panasonic FX/TZ series cameras.

but their latest directions for compacts are :thumbsup:Erm...i know dat canon cameras are good but they are a little steep..canon ixus cameras are not as gd as their powershot series rite? is it okie?? lol....Panasonic FX series are the older models and now they have launched the FS series. are they juz as gd? or inferior?
If u can push yr budget to around $70, no need consider others .... just grab the Fuji F200EXR. Go shop test 1st ... take pic & check the DR & noise control.

$70????
Discontinued long ago. The SX10 is the replacement model.
Ah sorry. I had a S5IS I got from Photomarathon 2007, played around with it before I sold it, was quite good besides the noise at >800. Didn't touch other compacts after that.
