is S95 worth to buy compare to Lumix LX3/LX5?
*
Hard to say, this 3 model about the same level. I asked this question before, most say lx3 or lx5 better, but canon S95 is cheaper compare with lx3 and lx5.. rclxms.gif

It's a tough decision between S95 and LX5. In the end I chose the S95 mainly because it is a more compact size and easier to carry. In terms of picture quality, they are both very close.

Of course the S95 is also cheaper.
*
Haha, from outlook, i feel S95 quite plastic, but lx3 like toy, lol... U got ur right, some more canon brand is more famous, and price cheap is a good steal... rclxms.gif

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing my S95 and yes the LX5 is slightly better in terms of features so if you don't mind slinging around a camera on your arm especially during travelling, then get the LX5.

If you're like me who insists on keeping my camera in my pants pocket.. then really the S95 is the best option.
*
Yea, if always keep the camera inside pocket, S90 and S95 is the better choice. My friend wanna sell off his lx3 at Rm900, used 1 year+ then still got 1 year+ warranty left (it come with 33 months warranty). So thinking wanna buy from him or get new S90 or S95...

good for you if you can find one below rm900 with remaining warranty.

canon and panasonic both does not provide international warranty. i've asked canon/panasonic, e.g. if you buy from US, it's only valid in US.
*
2nd hand LX3 Rm900 good to buy? Currently i work at SG, S90 and S95 price is S$699 and S$669, after convert to RM is 1.6k++ sweat.gif

i'm sure you can find cheaper street price in SGP... look around
*
Yea, S$699 is retail price. But the cheapest think about S$630..

Wow after reading all the post, i feel this is the one of the best compact, balance between image quality and size.  If i want a compact but don't mind about price, it this the best camera to get compare to the rest like LX5 or even Fuji F300EXR?  How come no one talk about Fuji?  Isn't this the best low-light compact some time back with F30?  Now it lose out to others??
*
So far, for compact camera, most ppl compare lx3 and lx5 with S90 and S95. Now u say lx5 is 1 of the best cause it new ma, after 1 year then will got better 1 again, cant finish follow...

I thought Lx5 would be better than Lx3 and S95 better than S95? Nolah, i didn't say Lx5 is the best.  One more thing, does S95 have battery indicator to show how much battery left?  I know canon compact can take around 250 pic per charge but very difficult to estimate sometimes because depending how long you on the camera and view on it.
*
I say "1 of the best" not "is the best" ar...

Im new to camera too so i not that sure about S90 have indicator how much battery left or not, this need S95 owner to reply it. For me, camera good or not is 2nd, 1st is skill la, icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks for the information, I do agree that warranty is a big factor.
I checked this address but i cloulden't find where i should buy the camera,
would you please help me to find the lowest price with international warranty.
Thanks.

LOL, some canon camera in M'sia come with 2 years warranty, but in SG 99% 1 year warranty. If got international warranty, then buy from M'sia bring to SG will become 2 years international warranty? blink.gif
