maybe I should look into something older like f50fd...?
I googled and found it's the last of the series that still has manual?

The "manual" mode lets you set things like ISO and white balance.  Totally useless.
F200fd is the one you want to get, but you might as well wait for the new cheap F70fd

As happy cow said .. Manual mode .. not that useful in small DC ..

I mean, I like to do full manaul control, however, the selection on DC is very limited .. or kind of "fake"  .. ( not real shutter  in most DC .. I think )

However, "TV" mode is quite handy ...  too bad not in F100.

Another good thing for F100, it's "VR" control is pretty good!

I didn't try too too many DC on the market, I am sure Canon DC are good, but just more pricey. ( I looked at the SX1 as well ..  but ended up I bought the Fuji S2000 HD! 60% less! LOL  ^_^ )

I haven't seen one but I believe so
but I agree with CP that there isn't much point to shoot manual on a super compact dc

as long as I can adjust the shutter and aperature value~~~~

GO GET GX200 or GRD2. (3 is coming out)
they have 2 dials for manual mode.
but they are pricy and bigger than normal DC.
that's what you pay for if you want a true manual mode.

but my mom has a sony n1 that is compact yet has a manual mode that allows me to adjust A and T
just that she doesn't like me taking her camera........or else I wouldn't need to get another one

F70....
10X Zoom
it is crazy for Compact DC... but mind you the Image quality from this long zoom yet small lens..

for DC仔 I think Panasonic & Canon are not bad.
actually Sony's new DC is getting better coz they are incorporating their SLR technology into their DCs (G lens, Exmor CMOS sensor, etc)
