Decent Camera?

Sorry for Revive :D

I endend up getting a Xbox360 instead of the Camera :)

I have just moved to Cape Town and have a lot of things to take photo's of so need to look at getting one again, preferably tomorrow. Same budget, around R3k. Any reccomendations?

If you can manage an extra R1000 you should go for the CaNON S5 IS.

I'd be cautious about the S5 and SX for travelling purposes unless you're very careful with your gear. I had a slight knock with my S5 and it cracked the LCD and caused whirring noises from the lens. (probably the IS, but it was there with IS off as well). It could have been a freak knock. But I wasn't too happy
 
Sony is for Sony only. Incompatible, ugly products for stupid consumers. I would recommend Nikon D40 kit - full control and ability to extend your camera when you grow.
 
Might be out of your price range (unless youre still going abroad and will get it there) but I'm got a Nikon P6000 that's en route to me from the US.

Maybe I'll do a mini review of it when it arrives but as a dSLR shooter I've got high hopes for this P&S. :)

Of course! But it will be reasonable expenses, since you know exactly what limits you.

Before I shot with my (film) Olympus μ-II and every time I develop rubbish I hate "all-automatic soapbox". Any cheap SLR much more powerful in expression.
