A few more details please.

What are you shooting with it? What kind of features do you want? Do you prefer small and simple, or bulkier but with more features? What's your level of experience? Will you be printing any of these photos?

4 pixel? 4m pixel perhaps but that sounds like a photo camera and there is a photo department on this site which would probably be a better place to ask. Or are you asking about a digital camera to use on Internet/computer where this would be the best place to ask (but 4m pixel seems high for that). Please advise.

If you are not sure which one to buy, go to Sim Lim Square and look at them all.

If you know which one to buy, and want the best available price (without haggling), go to "Paris Silk" in Holland Village (on the small cul-de-sac behind Cold Storage).

Anything from Canon, Nikon, Fijifilm, Kodak, or Panasonic will be good quality. The prices will vary depending on alot of factors so shop around and keep a few things in mind;

5 megapixels will print out sharp 8x10 size prints. Anything below is actually out of date.

Digital zoom means nothing (it's just cropping, not zooming). Get as much optical zoom for the money as you can.

Buy rechargable batteries. The flash will drain even the highest power cells quite quickly, adding to the cost.

Get a large enough memory card for your needs. A 512mb card will hold about 300 5mp jpegs.

A couple I think you'd like:

If you want a camera with point&shoot simplicity but want performance closer to what you would get in an SLR try something like the Fujifilm s5600. 5.1mp, 10x optical zoom, and under $300 US.

A bit less expensive but still a very nice camera is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5

6.0mp, 6x optical zoom, under $250, and I've always really liked Lumix optics.

Hi

Thanks for your recommendations, i like lumix that you recommend but i was recommend on canonA 540 today by a sale man, they offer normal package plus 1 gb memory card for $378 sing dollar, what do you think ?

I have a similar Canon and have been very happy with it. It has video capability and an optical viewfinder that the Lumix doesn't, as well as more scene modes. The downside is that the zoom is only 4x. I'm not familiar with Singapore pricing though, I'd find a Panasonic dealer and compare prices. Expect the Canon to be about 20% more. From there it depends on what you feel gives you what you really want.

Hi cdnvic,

I am attract by canon promotion which they give 1 gb memory card free. I like the panasonic lumix you recommend to me and i find the body of panasonic is extremely attractive to me comparable to Canon A 540.
