Hi just to share..

I got my S3 IS in June at RM1780 c/w 1GB SD card, Sakure Ice Boy tripod, Canon ori casing and unlimited discount printing voucher from Bintang Maju.
They have branches at LYP, Endah PArade, The Curve.

Very pleased with it rclxms.gif

To me, you can even get cheaper price from any camera shop. Camera fair doesn't mean the camera is cheap. So, buyers will need to do enough survey if he/she wants to get the best deal biggrin.gif

Cons ar? For me that is:

i) only 6MP
ii) Video mode at high quality takes up mem too fast( 1 sec = -/+ 2MB)
iii) Pictures a bit soft in some situations.
iv) ISO400 quite noisy. ISO800 Cannot pakai
v) In MACRO mode, flash would result in lens barrel shadow
vi) LCD Brightness not enough in bright sunlight. Have to strain to see or use EVF to catch photos
vii) Cannot catch photos in widescreen like Panasonic cams(jealous). The built in 16:9 function for the S3 is just the normal photo but cropped.
viii) No Flash Hot Shoe like the Canon G6
ix) Body = plastic

This is based on my personal preference and views....

Does your tripod have a screw like fixture? If it does then it should be a standard fitting and should fit the S3. smile.gif

Hmpm.. i'm very confused!
I wanted canon s3 IS so much... i like it's design.. even the minor problems, i think i could compromise...
But, some other models seems to be quite good to...
If i want to compare..
Canon Powershot S3 IS
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7
Sony Cybershot DSC H5
which is the best???
Suggestion pls....

I wanted to experiment function, and play with it's features...

GO and compare all 3 on sites like dpreview.com. So far I know that the S3 got higher marks compared to the H5.
