Decided to shop around a little after my swim. Was delighted to find a camera Road Show in Bishan. Managed to try out the Canon SD960, Olympus u9000 & Lumix FX48.
The color seems to be more vibrant on the Lumix when compared to the other 2. But was really worried that it would be the tricks on the LCD. Stephen was discouraging me to get 10X zoom camera, coz for his, flash wasn't powerful enough and pictures tends to get blurry.
Guess I better ask more opinions from the "experts" and read more reviews about it before deciding.
