Is it just me or are the pictures in the LCD screen on the camera looks awesomely amazing. Especially the colors. But once uploaded into a computer screen its looks dull. Sharpness I can understand from small screen to big screen. But the colors... And i thought I got the perfect contrast from the LCD screen only to get disappointed.

Not too sure what to do here. But I want the same colors from the camera's LCD screen to be loaded on to the computer screen without editing. What can be done?

I heard S95 has a slight edge in low light while the LX5 has the slight edge in sports pictures.

Don't get a headache you can't go wrong with either.

I got the S95 and yes it does take great low light photos without flash.

guys..do u all know where can get pc fair deal in kl now?wish to get one tis weekend..

most likely ur lcd isnt calibrated.
im using the s90, and when i transfer it still looks fine.

this site will help - http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/

I just bought a S95. Now im confused about the warranty period for the item, is it 2 years or 3 years? the seller told me is 2+1, bt my fren told me is 1+1 only? The purchase date is empty. so what shud i do?

Normal case is 1+1, unless seller pay for additional warranty, or they warrant themselves.

You can register the warranty online here:

http://www.warranty.canonsys.net.my/Warranty/

2+1 year warranty only for those bought last year. this year only 1+1 year.

it used to be 1+2...now i guess 1+1.
iirc u need to register online within 14 days of purchase.
u will also need a receipt cos u need to enter the place u purchased from as well as receipt number...
so not sure how empty purchase date is going to help here.

testing with s95 using chdk.. shutter speed 1/10000

I agree with you!!! The photo sharpness and color so amazingly nice on the screen, but look SO-So only on my laptop lcd. So disappointed. I thought I never need to edit my photo again =(


100 Confirm? is it apply for every S95 in Msia?
Cuz Im confused. Before that, some told me 2years, some 3 years...
what's the meaning of 1 + 1 actually?
local and international warranty?

the seller told me, keep the warranty date empty. so when the camera got problem nid to claim warranty, we only fill up, in order to prolong the warranty period (means play cheat lol ) but without register online, we only can get 1 year warranty?



2nd day use.
The manual mode very hard to use.
Auto mode looks nice in camera screen, but not on computer screen.
is it because of the auto mode? the quality looks just a little better than my s95.
sometimes human skin color looks weird under auto mode. =(

chdk something like firmware enchantment for canon,

CHDK is a firmware enhancement that operates on a number of Canon Cameras. CHDK gets loaded into your camera's memory upon bootup (either manually or automatically). It provides additional functionality beyond that currently provided by the native camera firmware.

CHDK is not a permanent firmware upgrade: you decide how it is loaded (manually or automatically) and you can always easily remove it.

more info: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_in_Brief

have u tried shooting that without chdk?

Photo spam of a shot that I took in a temple in Laos. Love this nifty little bugger. Works just as well as the 60D in many conditions.

here comparison

chdk with max shutter speed 1/100k







non chdk original firm ware and have limitation max shutter speed 1/1600

When i try to use faster shutter speed, the image's brightness become lower...
Even I try to adjust the brightness to +2, nothing change on the image

try increasing the iso, but the more iso is applied the more noise noise will produce in image

oooo, the droplets are so much clearer! guess i will have to read up on how to pimp my s95!

I rather you guys post actual photos than just test shots.

yes yes, which is what i have been telling all the time... i would love to see shots taken using s95 and not only to come here to see ppl buying at what price and from where!

Grab some photos from my blog.
All taken by S95. minimal edit is made.
I duno how to minimize the picture size ><
