Point n Shoot Cam. I just broke the GF's.

[1ma]

I broke the GF's point n shoot. A Sanyo x1400.

I think she paid 2500b 3 years ago.

I better buy a new one. Up to say 5000b. Any good models out there in this price range nowadays?

Thanks.

[MJP]

17,000 Baht should get you a Fuji X20.

That's the lowest we can recommend here.

[desmondspencer]

can get tons....

get anything sony, they'll appreciate the brand gesture

[A1Str8]

You can get a certain Nikon model for a bit less than 5k. If she ain't impressed with a Nikon then just get her a paper and a pencil and tell her to draw.

Any model name to go with that?

Do a Google search on Nikon P & S cameras available in LOS in your/her price range.

Or try here for starters...http://www.digital2home.com/en/

Or here...http://www.zoomcamera.net/Digital-Camera/

At D2H you can get her a Fujifilm FinePix S4800....for 5.6K baht....fairly good camera too.

Or a Canon PowerShot A2600...for 3,990 Baht in pink colour!

Don't get any small camera with a megapixel count higher than about 10 megapixels.

More megapixels does not mean better image quality. It's about sensor physics and pixel density.

Is there a name and count for these on the spec list?

For example SP:150, PD: 117

And then you can quickly see which one is best in that department?

This is going to sound very camera snobby, but it's not meant that way. I have absolutely no idea about pocket cameras these days.

You might try and find a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 or Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1.

[sunshine51]

Don't even worry about sensor size & pixel density & all that shit...or are you buying this for yourself?

I doubt your GF would know the difference between 5Mp & 50Mp. Buy her that pink one....spend the

day in bed with her.

Get her a little waterproof compact that she can take out during Songkran.

We usually go back to her home in Korea during that week.

Just asked her, and indeed she does.

Nikon Coolpix is a great little point and shoot with a host of features

16 Mp , 7times zoom and comes in colours , wont go there .

Takes a great pic and maybe only 3k bht.

[tw25rw]

Maybe a new mobile phone. They have great cameras these days.

Buy her a Hasselblad then.

You're getting currencies mixed up here Sunshine, the budget is quoted in Thai Baht.

They do indeed have a good range of them, from 2k-10k+ baht.

Nah....just being my cynical self! There's a lotta decent cameras out there for the price you wanna

pay. Canon, Nikon & Panasonic Lumix come to mind. Personally I like Canon's G series Powershots

with an optional Canon FA-DC58B filter adaptor so I can use 58mm filters on a camera that ordinarily

will not take any filter. However I know they're a bit over the top in pricing...unless you want to go that

way. Oh...by the way...you wouldn't be able to buy a 50Mp Hassie for 5K Euro...maybe 10K Euro less

any lens. I just sold my H4D-50 in Hong Kong last month with 3 lenses due to under-utilisation for 32K

Euro...it was 2 years old in "as new" condition...just FYI.

Hasselblad can be had for £1500!!!!

Just awful.

MJP....Please Don't be deceived by this camera...it is not a Hassie even

though the Hassie name is on the camera...Hassie did a deal with the

Japanese and added some "wood" to make the Hassie name available

to the masses who cannot afford a REAL Hassie! Pictures below...

Fake Hassie...

Real Hassie...

If my mamary serves me right I think the deal was done with Sony.

Panasonic would have been a better choice imo.

[MJP]

^^ I know Bruv!

Hasselblad has recently employed an accountant named Dereck it seems.

EDIT: Definitely on the Panasonic LF-1. I miss my LX5.

Edited December 31, 2013 by MJP

[tw25rw]

I saw something saying that the little Hasselblad compact was included if you bought one of their new pro cameras.. So the OP could get 2 for the price of 1..

[sunshine51]

^^^ I hope his accountant isn't named Dereck!

I read something about the HassieSony too but if me

mems are proper tonight & that's a bit debatable at this

moment the "special" was only for the new H5D in some

bazillion Mp config. Mind you I kinda miss my H4 but...

well...I'd rather it go to a person who will use it to the max

than have it sit in my dry box for...who knows how long.

Happy New Year Y'all..

It's the sort of thing you rent when needed I guess. We keep a quite a few million quids worth of excavators and dumpers and wotnot, but when we need the very specialist plant we hire it in, sometimes from mainland Europe.

It's all about optimum allocation of capital.

Happy New Year

[sunshine51]

^^^ That's why my capital was relocated to where it does it's best!

HNY!!!
