Thanks. My research on the net points to the same direction.
You can get both models for RM700 now. The reveiews are more favourable to FE230.
I could even get FE210 for RM500.(icld battery kit) I think difference is the FE210 comes with 2AA battery wherelse FE230 is lithium batterry, found this comment:-
"Compared to the entry-level FE-210 model, the FE-230 reduces camera size and weight significantly, increases the maximum ISO sensitivity to 1250 (vs. ISO 640 in the FE-210), adds audio to the VGA movie mode and doubles the framerate to 30fps, as well as switching to a proprietary Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, adding a few more scene modes, offering slightly more built-in memory, and offering an optional underwater housing."
So I guess FE230 is better. Any other models?
Canon IXUS 70 is a bit more expensive and doesnt have stabilizer.
Any opinions? I need to get the camera b4 my Sydney trip after Raya.
