-For woman, so must be quite small and/or light
-prefer under $3500, but willing to little over-budget if improvement is good
-record with sound and no time limit
-optical zoom more than 4x, if possible (10x would be great!!!)
-of course, good quality with no problems

First time DC buyer, mainly 3R-4R photos. Thanks!!

Sanyo J1 for movie ,3Xoptical zoom
FujiFilm s-5000 10x optical zoom but visible noise
FujiFilm F-410, handy movie,3Xoptical zoom


all above provide u with unlimited movie recording withsound

Is Olympus C-750 UZ better choice than any of the 3 suggested above?

You may consider Pentax Optio 550, -- smaller size with longer zoom
5X zoom, up to 10mins video.. 5 million pixels.

there is no such DC in the world..

that's impossibe to be 4X and quite small and light.

ulimited movie is meaningless, as u know the size of the movie is realy large.

I'd suggest canon S400, which is quite light and small, stylish and with 3min movie recording with sound.

I have buy Pentax Optio 550, because it's light and small, but with 5x zoom, 5M pixels & full manual option.

There's nothing perfect, its noise is high in high ISO, flash light is weak, response time is slow, longest shutter speed just 4" and no B shutter. Nevertheless, | still like it as it is easy to carry around.

The price may be higher than your budget. I buy it 3 months ago at around 4980.

I think 10x zoom will be quite heavy.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will go to Mong Kok to check them. Pentax 550 will probably be too expensive.

Thank you for your opinions.
I bought Fujifilm S5000 today. Size is bigger than what I wanted originally, but for price and features, okay lah.
