@ Carlo

Good question, heavy and hinayang, kasi unused but out of warranty (130T lang). If I get to sell it, I'll get 1 or 2 more D200's :D Otherwise, I'll just keep using it till it breaks - if at all. :)

Canon IXUS 430
Canon IXUS 800 IS - Didn't get to use it that much since it's my dad's.
Canon 350D - My current camera

I don't know why my dad has an affinity with Canon. It started since the IXUS that uses advantix film and that has the panoramic shot feature. It doesn't really matter since I'm happy with my current camera. :)

I see that a lot of us have gone through many different brands & model & seemed to try out which is the One for us. Only a few started out with same brand & till now in the Digital era still remained with the same brand like Mark D., i bet he has a collection of K mount lenses.

I think this is inevitable for others as we need to satisfy our curiosity :)

Love the F30! It's the best P&S cam I've owned, and as you can see, I've had quite a few :) It's a great videocam too. The F31 is coming out though with the face detection feature, you might want to wait for that.

where did you buy your F30?

I bought it 2nd hand from a guy at NikonCafe.

Since then, it has come down in price and also has a $50 rebate. It think you can get it for around $240 after rebate nowadays.
