RM1.3k is a pretty nice price for this camera.. makes choosing the LX-5 a no-brainer if you're cost-inhibited.

For Canon S90/S95 owners, if you want a better grip for your camera, I'm doing a bulk here and I hope to get others to join to share shipping costs:

wah~ nice deal... thank you vy much for the infor... will be getting one soon ^^

i just bought the S95! finally decided on this after reviewing between this and used LX3 or new LX5. compactness was the tipping factor for me.

got it at sg wang 2nd floor, boeing photo (http://www.boeingphoto.com.my) for RM1199. i didn't want the case + 4GB card, so that's why i got a lower price.

good deal i think! looking forward to learning more about this camera and getting good shots!! anyone knows if there is a user group out there?

Bought mine as well at rm1300 with canon case and 4gb card

Hey, trying to do a shameless plug around here.. hoping that you guys can support abit.. let's all share shipping together!

Richard Franiec's custom grip for the S90/S95 is a definitely must have for your camera to improve handling, especially for those low light one handed shots!

wallet kinda dry right now
When will you be closing the order?

i find it ok to hold the s95 without any custom grip to take photos... prefer it this way in fact, as it's compact.

It's ok but the Franiec gives that extra kungfu grip+sense of security. Helps to reduce handshake blur also.

the stitch function after you shoot the photo, you have to use the software to combine it. The software come with the CD. very easy to use.

That's Sony sweep panorama advantage (although it doesn't work perfectly). Very leceh to stitch manually...tried a couple of times then feel lazy liao. Now if I wanna show the whole panorama... switch to video

the pp part is not so leceh, but the taking part more leceh.
use video to show panorama ? nice idea

Just became a proud owner of the S95. Bought it for RM1,315 at BB Plaza - hfwong [http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showuser=351423 ] of Foto Edar whom I found thru this forum.

For the price, I got 4gb SD card + pouch + screen protector

Been playing it around for the past few days and from someone who have not bought a camera for the past 6yrs, it is quite adaptable since my old camera was also a Canon. Learning curve is there but it's not that super hard.

I decided to go with the S95 instead of the Lumix LX5 purely because of her compactness. The LX5 is a slightly better camera but it can't fit in my pant's pocket.

Here's an AUTO shot I took... in fact this was my very first shot taken with the camera.



Cheers!

I just played with my friend's S95 and I am amazed by the way this camera handles night shots.

But, may I know, how this S95 compares with Sony TX1, especially in terms of night shots?

i'm an S95 owner. Never seen/played with the TX1 but based on specs, it seems to have a smaller aperture than S95.

Aperture : Auto(F3.5-F4.6)

S95 has 2.0 aperture at widest angle. This means that it allows more light in, which is good for night shots. So far, based on my experience with S95, I find it very useful to use Av mode and fix the aperture to 2.0 then allow the camera to select shutter speed. The other day I managed to get a good night shot even without flash this way.

you can try this website:
http://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/COMPS01.HTM

and select S95/TX1 for comparison. Perhaps look at indoor ISO800 (night shots will most probably be shot at ISO 800 upwards), and compare. look at the crayons/pepper shaker and you can see the difference in noise level between the 2 cameras.

good luck! i love my S95, only complain is no autofocus/zoom during video...

Hmmm..it seems that S95 really handles night shots very well!

here's a nightshot taken with S95... flash off, Av mode set to 2.0, handheld (camera did come out with the orange camera shake logo, but i think my hands are steady enough to get a clear shot). probably need to find another camera to take a similar shot to compare but i don't have any others click on the thumbnail below for bigger photo

Heads up... nice leatherette for S95
http://www.japan-hobby-tool.com/cart/syouh...164&no=00001896

hmmm imho, i think it makes the S95 look ugly. just my opinion. it looks very nice as it is, i really like the standard finishing on the casing (i think same as eos 7d?)

I agree... the S95 looks awesome as it is. That leather grip really does make it look cheap and ugly in my opinion.
