Hi Keichang.

Ang unprofessional opinion ko is go for at least 4 megapixels camera. Am pesonally using Sony DSC-T1 5.0 megapixel. Most of my friends are using 4.0 megapixel pero okey naman. Halos wala akong makitang difference sa quality ng picture. Siguro nga kasi hindi naman ako professional photograher, basta may magamit lang din ako.

Anyways, ang specs naman ang digital camera na gusto mo will all depend sa budget mo. So I think, it is best if you will decide how much you want to spend for a camera and go from there ...

Makulit,

I also have the same camera.:)

'Recently acquired the T5 (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/t5.html).

The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) of the Lumix (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/fx7_pg5.html)is a big plus - helps reduce the occurrence of camera shake. But, the shutter lag is compromised.

The power up on the Cybershot is impressive.
And I like the convenience of the docking cradle for transferring images and charging battery without taking it out of the camera.
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/sony_t1/t1_cradle_io.jpg

Overall, the Sony Cybershot T1 (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/t1_pg5.html) and the Lumix FX7 (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/fx7.html)are comparable, from my experience.


Read some camera reviews here (http://www.steves-digicams.com/hardware_reviews.htm l).

Lumix FX7:

From power up to first image captured measured about 3.5 seconds.
Shutter lag measured 1/10 of a second when pre- focused and 4/10 of a second including autofocus.
Shooting in single exposure mode, it averaged approx. 1.5 seconds between frames without the use of the flash and about 2.2 seconds with the flash.CyberShot T1:

From sliding open the lens cover till the first shot was captured measured an impressive 1.7 seconds; you will not miss many unposed spontaneous photo opportunities.
Shutter lag, the time between depressing the shutter and capturing the image, measured 2/10 second when pre-focused,
lag including autofocus was an equally impressive 4/10 second;
both of these times include about 1/10 second of delay in the live image on the LCD viewfinder.
In single shot mode, images could be captured at a rate of 1 every 1.2 seconds with Auto Review off, or 1 every 3 seconds with Auto Review on.Cybershot T5:

From sliding open the lens cover till the first shot was captured measured an impressive 1.5 seconds; you will not miss many unposed spontaneous photo opportunities.
Shutter lag measured 1/10 second when pre-focused
Lag including autofocus was an equally impressive 3/10 second;
both of these times include about 1/10 second of delay in the live image on the LCD viewfinder.
In single shot mode, images could be captured at a rate of 1 every 8/10 second with Auto Review off, or 1 per second with Auto Review on.
Using flash, shot-to-shot time ranged between 1.5 and 4 seconds depending on subject distance.

Hi Stanfordmed.

i bought a sony DSC T-7 last week for 31,700.my fren bought a T-5 for 28,100.ok nmn ang mga kuha...

[halloween]

Since you guys are talking about digi cams, wanna ask something. I saw one, a canon, 5.1 megapixels. They are selling it for Y 26, 000. Is the price reasonable?

tina,u should be more specific sa klase ng canon digicam na nakita mo na 5.1 mpxls.meron kasing eos series,powershot series at ixy series ang canon.

kung ako ang bibili,ganito ang valueing ko sa mga canon na 5 megapixels.

kung PS S-60,mura na yan sa 26,000
kung PS S-610,mura pa rin sa 26,000
if PS S2-IS,murang mura na yan.
kung ixy digital 60,mura pa rin yan.
if ixy digital 55,tamang tama lang.
if ixy digital L3>>>mura na yan
if ixy digital L2>>mahal yan>>>about 22000 to 25000 lng ang L2
if ixy digital 500>>>mura na yun..

htwh.

[halloween]

Jean!!! Bat sinabi mo name ko, 'kaw talaga, bad! Anyway, di bale. At salamat sa advice.

[piNkAhOLiC]

Im currently using DSC-T7 from Sony. Maganda ang quality ng pics niya.

[zenki]

hmmm ako i wanted to buy digi cam too..pero di ako lagi nakakalabas downtown to look at prices and stuff..i want to buy the olympus stylus 500 or 600 alam nyo po kaya magkano sya ngaun? Also the canon PS S2-IS for another friend :)

[crister]

@zenki

try to visit websites of famous shops for camera like Yodobashi and Bic Camera
usually mahal ang price sa mga shop na ito (pero minsan may sale lalo na kung may point card ka) and can become basis for your budget.kalimitan may makikita ka na mas mura compare sa price nila (same brand and model)

[crispee]

Visit http://kakaku.com/camera/ . Dito pwede kang mag-canvass online kung saan mas mura ang presyo.

crister & crispee marmaming salamat sobrang helpful ng mga sites na ni-suggest nyo..

[Willy2k5]

Tanong ko lang mga TF, Paano ba natin mailagay yung petsa para ma include sa print out? Kasi nagpa print ako at walang lumalabas na date. Yung digital cam ko ay finefix a345 (fujifilm)4.1MegaPix . Paano ba yun i set ?


salamat

[keichang]

im planning to buy na ng Sony Cybershot T9 o kaya T7 kaso nag-iisip akong pumunta sa AKihabara at tingnan kung may Digital camera na english ang language na gamit.

Kse nihonggo yung mga nasa store nila dito.e gusto ko ma-enjoy yung full functions ng camera.e nde naman ako marunong bumasa ng kanji.
:confused:
Ask ko na rin kung yung mga Sony cybershot T9 at T7 ba ay bilingual kagaya ng ipod na multi language. sorry sa tanong ha:D :confused:

[Paul]

Kalimitan ng mga digital camera ngayon ay napapalitan ng language. Nasa settings lang 'yon. Tanong mo na lang sa salesperson para sigurado.

[Paul]

@keichang
Hindi nga bilingual ang T-7 at T-9. Tiningnan ko rin sa Sony na website.

[ganda_girl89]

masyado na kasing pinapaliit ang size kaya inaalis yung ibang features.meron din ako ng medyo malaki...yung dsc-p10>>>bilingual naman sya.

[reon]

Keichang, hindi ko alam kung nakabili ka na pero yung gamit ko dati na digicam ay isang maliit na Ricoh, okay lang naman, madaling dalhin, kahit hindi masyadong maganda ang kulay. Sabi ng maraming tao, may magandang mag-stick ka sa mga kilalang brands: Sony, Fuji, Canon, Nikon, Olympus.

...

Kanina, nadaan kami sa Yodobashi sa Akihabara at naghawak-hawak ng mga digital camera. Eto ang gusto kong bilhin, pero hindi puwede: ang Canon 5D (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos5d/). Mahal kasi, e. Kita nyo naman, may chain pa at dalawang lock. Mukhang hindi ko mailalabas ito mula sa shop kahit gusto ko man. :D

sa design,lamang ang sony.sa ganda ng shots,depende na lang siguro sa specs kung alin sa mga canon ixus ang pipiliin mo.sa price,di rin magkakalayo yan...depende na lang sa tindahan o sa timing ng pagbili.

one good thing na masasabi ko sa mga sony products ay ilan beses na akong nasiraan ng handycam at digicam.kadalasan yung sensitive na ccd ang nasisira.pinagawa ko sa kanila thru sa binilhan kong denkiyasan.free ang labor at parts kahit labas na sa warranty period ang item at binayaran ko ay takyubin lang na 1050 yen.ewan ko lng sa canon kung ano ang patakaran nila sa after sale service nila.

ako rin,hirap na hirap sa pagdecide nyan nung plano ko pa lang bumili ng digi cam.gift ko kasi s anak ko,pero dahil na rin sa nagbibiyahe siya kaya camcorder ang nabili ko,sony dsc.at least double purpose.

kung digital naman,sabi ng hubby mas ok daw ang canon ixy.ung dating canon ixy nya,5 yrs.na sa kanya e ok na ok p.un nga lang 2.1 mega pixels lang.kaya pinalitan nya n rin ng ixy Ll3,5 mp.ang ganda rin ng kuha nya.

sana makatulong sa yo ito.di ko lang alam kung naseset sa english language.

[docomo]

@ ganda pretty _girl 89

... ano ano yung nasira sa handycam at digicam mo? pwede ba malaman?:)

[ganda_girl89]

both may nasirang IC sa related circuit papunta sa ccd or charged coupled device.

may ganitong experience na rin ako sa canon ps A36 naman. dito ko pinabili sa japan pero sa pinas ko ginamit. after a year or so, nasira din yung ccd. dinala ko sa canon service center sa makati. since wala nang warranty, nagbayad ako ng less than 5000php. matagal din ang service, depende sa availability ng part (na lagi nman yata hindi available). inabot din ng 6 weeks yung unit ko sa service center. then nung maayos na, 3 months pa lang nagagamit nasira ulit. since nandito na ako sa japan, si misis ang nagbalik ng unit sa service center. sabi nung representative marami daw talagang bumabalik sa kanila after mapalitan ng ccd, nasisira din ulit agad. as part daw ng damage control nila, ire-refund yung ibinayad nung unang i-repair, then ire-repair ulit free of charge. ayun, awa ng diyos mahigit nang 1 month yung digicam ko sa service center hanggang ngaun hindi pa nagagawa. haaaayyyy!!!

kaya parang turn-off na ako sa canon, tapos ngaun pati pala sony ganun din. haaaayyyy ulit!!!:(

[docomo]

@ ganda girl89 ~ mga ilang years /months bago po nasira ? (or walang basehan? depende sa gumagamit din? ):)

[ganda_girl89]

@ ganda girl89 ~ mga ilang years /months bago po nasira ? (or walang basehan? depende sa gumagamit din? ):)

nabili ko yung handycam at digicam ng mga bandang oct 2003.nasira ng mga bandang oct 2005.

yung handycam,siguro nakapag record ako ng mga 10 DV cassettes.halos di ko nagamit except ginawa ko syang tape recorder mula sa tv programs at naka record ako ng 5 dv tapes..

yung digicam,bihira ko din ginamit.kadalasan,pr aktis lng ng kuha tapos erase agad.

syanga pala,dinala ko yung digicam at handycam sa ski resort noong jan2004 at na exposed sa malamig na lugar.ewan kung may epekto.

[DaiRyouKoJin]

makikisali lang po ako

you can go sa website na ito : http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/
halos lahat ng digital cameras makikita nyo ang reviews dyan.

kahapon may nakita ako digicam na maganda ang picture quality, olympus na 6MP. nakalimutan ko lang yung model pero maganda picture quality, crisp ang color.

basta tip ko lang, check mo rin yung "after sales" di naman kasi naten pwede masabi na hindi magkakaron ng diperensya yan. kung iuuwi mo sa pinas, make sure na yung bibilhin mong digicam is may service center sa aten.

[ganda_girl89]

at least di magulang yung patakaran ng service center sa phils.sa sobrang liit kasi ng mga camera ngayon,parang ang dali ng masira saka lahat halos ay gawa na sa china ang units.buti pa yata,disposable camera na lang...maliliit na rin naman ang mga units nila ngayon.lolsss.

[keichang]

hi guys! :) grabe hirap mag-decide kung ano ang bibilhin ko. At kahapon Sony Cybershot T7 na lang ang binili ko. so far im happy naman sa mga pics na nakukuha ko at saka ang nipis nya.

[Lakay]

Aside from Kakaku na nabanggit na, pag gusto ko magcanvass, ito mga ginagamit ko:

Coneco:
http://www.coneco.net/idx/01105010.html

Best Gate:
http://www.bestgate.net/digitalcamera/

Take note that these are not just for digicams.

Mas makakamura talaga kapag nagpadeliver na lang kayo (unless malapit kayo sa Aki). A case in point, iyong binayaran ko sa digicam ko lahat-lahat was around 49,545. Sa Yodobashi (walang Bic Camera malapit dito), with a 15% point-back, ang price tag niya is 62,800, which would amount to around 65,940 (with tax). Kahit idagdag iyong suppossedly eh maipon na 9,420 points (15% of 62,800) sa 49,545, you would still save much more if you just order online. Wala pang fare, hindi pa kayo mapagod sa kalalakad. Mas makakamura pa kung may option iyong online store na pwedeng magbayad sa Convenient stores. Kung may oras din kayo, lalo pang makakamura kung sa bangko kayo magbabayad :)

Iyong digicam ko pala is Lumix - DMC-LX1 (Panasonic). 8 Mega pixel. Ayos din :) My first digicam is a FinePix (Fujitsu).Hanggang ngayon from 2002, maayos pa rin without any problems. Napaglumaan na lang talaga. :)

[infeliz]

Bought myself L2 by Canon ;) It's not a professional digicam but it takes great pictures. The price? affordable.

[midnight]

I would definitely suggest Pentax Optio S5Z. sobrang linaw ng pics & great features. It cost 39000 yen when I bought it. :wave:

I have an Olympus digital Camedia camera right now..But it is only 3.2 megapixel..Nag-aambisyon akong makabili ng 7 or 8 megapixel ..at saka higher optical and digital zoom..Which camera brand kaya is good if I want one with better optical and digital zoom..at saka pwede sa gabi..at saka magaling ang shutter speed..Napapansin ko kasi saOlympus,slow ang shutter speed niya at saka matagal bago makashoot uli ..Am using rechargeable batteries so okay lang sa battery..Any high tech opinions anyone?

...Napapansin ko kasi sa Olympus, slow ang shutter speed niya at saka matagal bago makashoot uli...

Hindi ito limited sa Olympus. Halos lahat ng point-and-shoot na digital camera ay may shutter lag. Kung ayaw mo nang may shutter lag, mag-DSLR ka.

Chameleon,

DSLR means Digital Single Lens Reflex. Yung malalaking camera na napapalitan ng lens. But if you're not going to turn it into a hobby or do some serious photography, one of the prosumer cameras or high-end digital compacts will do just fine.

BTW, just because a camera has more megapixels doesn't mean its significantly better than cameras with less megapixels. Increasing megapixels in digital compact cameras are mainly a marketing ploy by camera manufacturers to sell more cameras. More megapixels only matter with high-end professional DSLRs for photographers who require large prints of their pictures.

If your main use is for uploading to the web and printing in sizes not larger than A4 size, a 4-megapixel camera is more than enough. The other things that will matter then would be the features that you need in a camera, the user interface that you prefer plus the handling that you are most comfortable with and the look (both design and image output) that you want.

That said, I'm biased towards Olympus and Fuji when it comes to digital P&S cameras. I like the color rendition of Olympus and the print output of Fuji. If I'm going to buy a P&S camera, I would get a Fuji Finepix F11. It's fast and takes the best low-light pictures among the digital compacts available today. But that's me, your needs may be different from mine so don't take my word for it. Go out and take the cameras in your own hands, play with the controls, check the shutter lag and see which one you're most comfortable with and which design you like. Picture yourself taking it with you everywhere and having fun taking pictures with it. It's no use getting a camera that everyone says is good but you won't enjoy using.
