Hi all ! Today I find that the new "Hong" Canon S45 sell for only $2800 ! The shop is called "Kodak Smile", the one beside the Mcdonald and near the Market ! I just ask the sales and they said they still have stocks ! Not the display one !
When people still argue about buying S50 or A80, I will say that S45 for $2800 is a really attractive price !

Sorry ! I didn't tell the place, it is in Tsuen Wan !

If compare with Kodak 6440, Panasonic DMC LC33, Casio QV-R40 which one is better?

[gapman]

For fast response, of course QV-R40 la ! But the photo quality is just fair !
For easy to use, Kodak DX6440 wins ! It is really easy to use ! Really suitable for parents to use and they don't want to learn photography !
But for photo quality, functions and values, for sure I will choose $2800 Canon S45 ! If you don't mind the size and weight, I highly recommend Canon S45 !

Hello Gapman, thanks for your update information. I have asked for S45 2nd hand price in this forum, fortunately I don't buy it after seeing your advise.

As a beginner like me, at last I've chosen A80 of budget about $3k, apart from the photo quality, I choose A80 because previously I have a A20 (used about 2 years), I think I'm more familiar at "A" series control panel, BTW, A80 has twisted LCD which easier to take photo when using timer or 自拍…

Glad to know there are many advisors in this web site.
