Coolest and most value for money camera is......
Phenix with 50/1.7! All for just S$160, and crushes any consumer digital camera photographically!

for everybody's info, YSLee was referring to the camera i bought from China when i came back to Singapore. (yes i'm back!!!!!!!!!!)
it's an original China made, mechanical / manual camera with a built in light meter and comes with a 50mm f1.7 lens. Mount is Pentax K mount.
best of all, it cost me all of SGD$157 - for a fully functional SLR with a 50mm lens. it has depth of field preview, hotshoe, self timer- everything u would expect from a proper SLR
i was deciding between the SeaGull equivalent and finally picked the Phenix for its metal shutter curtain compared to the cloth one of the SeaGull.
and it comes with a certain smell i was unable to detect on any of my much higher end Japanese made camera bodies ;p

Welcome back. Btw, have you consider going into camera business in Sg?
I would be interested to know more about this camera. Care to do a simple review and post some pictures using this?

My understanding is that a cloth shutter is preferable for street photography because it is almost totally silent. I think some Leicas have a cloth shutter?
Hmmm... when you coming back?.....;p
