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

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.
