Samsung ST6500

This is a point-and-shoot built for pocket convenience rather than manual control. The 16.1 megapixel CCD sensor pairs with a 5x optical zoom lens spanning 26-130mm equivalent, giving you room to go from wide group shots to moderate telephoto without swapping lenses you don't have. There's no image stabilization here, so steady hands matter more at the zoomed end. Samsung ST6500 price in Malaysia starts from RM890.

Control is kept simple. There's no manual exposure, no shutter priority, and no manual focus; instead you get scene modes and multi-area autofocus to handle the decisions for you. ISO tops out at 3200, useful for dim rooms even if noise will show at that range. The fixed touch screen replaces a viewfinder entirely, which fits the ultracompact 102 x 57 x 19 mm body Samsung built this around. No GPS, no image stabilization, just a small camera meant to slip into a pocket.
