S3 of course

You'd probably need the 1GB SD card cause the card included with the camera is only 16MB, which is only 4 pictures at the highest resolution. And the bag is a must too in my opinion, gotta protect your baby eh

camera using to snap da picture la .. aiyo .. .. if wan see also, i can use my phone la .. ..

I think, want to sell all in one except for SD card (if u dont 1). I will drop rm50 for da 1gb of SD card (da shop also charge me rm50 for 1gb SD card). .. pouch i cant take cos it surely cannot fits my new DSLR ... 350D perhaps .. 400D is out of budget d ..

original 16mb card only can saves 4 pictures at highest resolution and superb quality .. ..

TQ mate!! .. ..

i owned a few digicams (fuji, nikon and canon).. so i already hv a few 1 gig SD cards for my nikon n canon

my concern is i oledi hv a canon 6mp digicam, G7 is 10mp with IS and ofcox i'm more into its 'legendary' look (just personal preference la..)

no doubt.. S3IS is a well rounder.. but it's 6mp. hmm.. let me think about it. cox i also waiting for the new ricoh GR digital.

s3 noob user reporting in bought it last month...but havent got the time to play to the fullest,value wise & performance mid range dgcam

There's lotsa things to play if you have time for it. It's not just a point and shoot cam.

You mean you want the G7 over the S3 just because it has more megapixels? If you're just a casual shooter you don't need that much megapixels. Megapixels only allows you to print larger photos. More mp doesn't mean better quality. IN CASE you didn't know

And yes, GO FOR S3. Seng Kiat's deal is good edi.

welcome aboard, try explore more of the beauty of this cam

Guys, what do you do with your Canon pouch? Mine one full of dust now

I keep my camera in it

My Canon bag ar? WHat bag?

Oh.... ...THAT BAG.

Its hanging on my chair collectiong dust. Useless.....

I think the G7 sensor is smaller than the S3. correct me if i'm wrong.

G7 sensor is 1/1.8-inch, bigger than S3 which is only 1/2.5-inch

Amounts to almost the same ler. G7 10MP on a 1/1.8" sensor, S3IS 6MP on a 1/2.5" Sensor.....

I didn't get the bag... how much do people in shop sell? for now i'm keeping my camera in the packaging box...

Oh. Well, the standard Leather bag was supposed to come with the Camera. I called CANON Malaysia to find out. But the shops try to earn extra $$ by seperating it from the Cam. Then they sell it for between RM40-60 I think.....
If you not gonna expand the camera in terms of getting new acessories then go ahead and get the standard leather bag.

There are 2 types I've seen. 1 is pure black with metal Canon emblem and another nicer looking one which is brownish in colour and has a mesh compartment on it. Try to get that one.....

Standard one that came with the cam.

Come to think of it, you bought the lenses. where do you put it if you're really using the standard pouch

for me, more Megapixel and DIGIC III (with the new multipoint face priority focus feature) is already good enuff for casual shooter like me to do post photo editing. (apart from the ultrazoom, IS and stereo video recording in S3.. somehow i still can't feel the urge as i already owned a A540, unless someone let go at very very cheap price la.. hehe)

sengkiat's deal is good, but he's from Melaka... and the price also on the steep side (no offence ok..) u could get the similar package (minus the canon backpack) at around 1.6k (check out BE's price at sg wang)

cheers.

p/s: since this is a S3's thread.. i think let's stick to the S3

Thats why the S3IS Ori pouch was designed just to house the Cam Only. With lenses and adapter have to get a bag.

sigh... i'm looking for some waist pouch that can fit all i'm putting the cam in my backpack everyday to work. just incase there's something nice to shoot at.

damn itchy for a dslr dy...
