Hi all, this is my first posting. Currently I felt a urge to buy a cam... wanna follow up the trend ;p

Been eyeing the Fujiflim F601Z for quite some time... heard frm reviews here saying tat its quite gd. How u guys think?
Btw my budget is round 1000 & my requirement is 3 - 4 MP. Apart frm Fujiflim, wat other brand can i buy ?

Ur help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

hmm... day time and nite time shots must be good (of cos haha.. )
Second thing is the speed. After taking one pic, I wanna take the next pic ASAP. I heard reviews abt some cameras tat they need time to recharge the flashlight.

PS wats C4000? Canon?

It's Olympus C4000z.

If I were you, I will consider C720UZ + accessories.

yeah.... teh super zoom is really fun and useful.....

somehow the C4000z is really powerful..... a bit too powerful.... for mi but still i already bought it ..... nothing wrong with having too much power

every camera is the same. when the battery is strong, recharging is very fast. but when the batteries started running low, it'll take quite a bit longer to recharge the flash.

as wat mpenza mentioned, all internal flash recharging time is about the same
unless u use ext. flash then u can set it to flash mutliple times..

and if w/o flash, a cam with a large buffer size can take more pictures while the file is being written

C-720UZ would be a great camera for the small size, 8x zoom, ..
:thumbsup:

Or wait for the C-730UZ with bug fixes and extra features but possibly higher price.
