@ paikut
it is a very cheap price lor under rm1k with lots of acc... congrats

Hi Paikut,

Can you tell me where to buy it? I am interested in buying too but because i am out of country , i will have to ask a friend to buy for me.
Can you tell me exactly where is it so i can tell me friend to go there and buy

Also all the sifus around, can tell me what should i ask my friend to check when he help me to buy??

Oh thank god i got a good bargain..haha scared tat i was slaughterd..actually i wan black colour but too bad they only have silver so no choice..i bought it at KK PLAZA the shop name was syarikat cpl ground floor near main entrance at kota kinabalu 1of the forumer intro me there..

u ask yr fren to try offer them rm930 than slowly increase..its good love the 3inch screen but alot of setting n testing need to do and slowly learn all the fuctions haha wat to do lazy to read the manual book..

Congrats to your good buy! and welcome to the 860IS family.

I think the silver color is better for this camera, makes it look more expensive.

In terms of landscape, sometimes PnS can match with DSLR quality.

maybe... but if u view at actual size the image is not very clear...
thats y i decided to buy a dslr

Yes, that's IF you print it out full size.

How often do you print out above 4R size? Most of the time, they will stay inside your computer/laptop and view it via monitor.

Oh shit .. KK ar..
Anyone know where i can find good price in KL ?

You got to shop around, some shops may be coming out with new promotions for this camera.

You can also check out the prices by LYN forummers too in the garage sales for comparison.

Or if you can wait for PC Fair in December ...

Hi all any tips and tricks for the camera???i see the settings really alot can set till i also blur the only thing i know is if shoot use micro at night and a little bit more distance cant see anything haha still experiment with it..

my shots at clark quay

any comment?

^ I'm not sure what is your subject.

congrats bro on your buy. welcome to the family. silver is the better colour for me. btw, the front part of my camera is covered with scratches now due to usage. wonder if we can do something bout it.

Hey thanks bro..well true la but silver get scratch more easily i think haha...btw the ISO is for what??got high got auto and the optical zoom where should i set it??because i set it more the less i can focus..

high iso mean in your pic u will have lots of dots ( or we call that noise )
low iso means the other way round lor

usually high iso is meant for night or dark area shots

if u still dun get it try it out at night

ISO speed... is a technology to boost ur sensor to capture a brighter image in a dark scene but side effect is that u could see a lot of noise in ur photos

i dun know how to explain perhaps u could google for it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_speed

is 860 wide angle does make a lot diff compare with normal lens?

Definitely noticeable difference to capture more in the screen. When the saleperson demo the 860IS with another Canon without wide angle, the difference is obvious.

actually there is no definition of normal lens and normally all compact camera uses 35mm focal length as standard
so here is the comparison between a standard 35mm and a shorter 28mm focal length... both of them taken at the same time and at the same distance from the steering wheel... look how a 28mm wide can capture more image

o no, after a mountain trip, my LCD there got one small gray dot. how to repair?? shit shit
But this camera cannot set aperture leh...is there any way to do it?

Ya.. this camera don't have aperture I also try to find it last time.. My friend just said his panasonic camera have aperture, why my canon IXUS 860 dun have.. Understand that 870 also dun have..not understand why canon don't put in this great function in manual control.

Unfortunately, last week, my LCD also developed a gray dot. Then became more dots. Now there is a very clear line of dots. Going to contact Canon soon to find out what to do.

ur LCD is failing?

870IS & 860IS doesn't have aperture settings but the new 980IS has it.
I guess a lot of users do not even bother about it thus the function is not really catered for the casual photographers

Just show a pic I've taken with my cam of some model cars.

Basically, aperture, along with duration/timing of the shutter curtain opening, BOTH contribute to a the formation of an exposure. But aperture also affects an important photographic element called "depth of field" (short form "DOF").

A large maximum aperture is a good thing. It allows more light to reach the image sensor, and so allows you to use a faster shutter speed. A faster shutter speed freezes action and negates the effect of camera shake, resulting in pictures that are not blurred.

Another advantage of a large maximum aperture is to provide a shallow depth of field. This allows the background to blur nicely thus isolating your subject (especially effective when taking portraits).

A small minimum aperture is also a good thing. It allows you to use a slow shutter speed on a bright sunny day. A slow shutter speed allows you to depict motion.

Another advantage of a small minimum aperture is to increase the depth-of-field. An increased depth-of-field allows you to take landscape pictures where as much of the picture in the foreground and reaching all the way to the background (usually, 'infinity') is in sharp focus.

anyone here know how much a battery for IXUS 860IS cost in the market nowadays?

Not sure about that. Maybe you can call the Canon centre, or any of the dealers.

bought one at RM45

3rd party ka?

then, would u buy the ori 1 cost around rm150?

Wow, is that the price? Better look out for it then when sales time.

ive used 2 3rd party batteries, so far so good

Hi,

Am interested to get this cam. Can i know if it has batt level indicator like the 870is? D bad abt canon cams is d lack of batt indicator which leaves me caught w low batt many times esp on holiday.

WoW Really nice cam!

Yes, it has the battery indicator. (3 bar)

Yep, but even with battery indicator, although full in the morning, can be empty by evening if been snapping non-stop and especially recording movies I noticed drains the battery faster.

Hi I'm really interested in this camera.

Just wondering if any of you know the current market price?

Thanks Kent n Sinclair for your feedback. I m using d powershot 710is which does not hv batt indicator. Agree, batt life depends on usage n life of batt pack. Using AA batts helps too when run out in between charge.
Looking for a ultracompact cam when d 710is konks n considering this.

Yep, for your 710is, can keep some AA spare to pop in when needed. But the 860is can't.

Haven't seen any shop selling this model lately, but you shouldn't pay more than RM1k for it methinks.

Yes I know. I m weighing the pro of the 860is(ultracompact n light) against the con of using proprietary batt.
Even tho I will not be using AA batts in 860is which can be carried as spare, at least if it has some kind of batt indicator better then none at all.
I have used ixus izoom b4, once batt out, cam out of action. And a spare proprietary batt is not cheap.

Yes, i have been looking out for 860is whenever i pass cam shops and havent notice any on display. But I didnt ask bcoz not ready to buy just yet.
My 2yrs old 710is still going strong

i saw a few last week. selling for 1299 but it's kk price, and i haven't go to other place yet. not sure is there any freebies whatsover with that price.

agree... drains a lot of power especially the flash fires frequently u will need to buy a spare batt...

Saw a promotion in the papers today in Low Yat Plaza, ground floor 5-7 December, forgot the shop name though.

They are selling the Canon 860IS for only RM699 during the promotion period. What's in the package was not stated in the advert, those interested should check it out coz this is a crazy low price.

Wow...this is a real super duper price.

Yep, never seen this type of price offered before. Definitely worth checking out this promotion.

Can anyone confirm if the promotion is true? I want to buy one unit.
