how much is the S3is now?

For just the camera? Around RM1650-1700.

For the camera and package including batteries and card. RM1800-1900

I thought i saw someone posting for RM1600 yesterday in Lowyat ?

lol if wanna buy i can sell
kena poison by DSLR wtf.....

does the S3 comes with ori casing? i m looking for one, anyone know where to get it?

btw this s3 is realy good, got 1 for company use, test it for 1 week, i like the super macro mode the most, and the 12x optical zoom !

im thinking to get one soon

Pro-sumer cam, S3 is a very good choice...

I love my S3!!!

sigh. Today bring out S3 for Deepavali shooting, mount on tripod and the swivel gave way due to the weight of the cam + lense cos I didn't tighten the tripod screw properly. Luckily Camera didn't fall to the floor but the vertical swivel spun resulting in it hitting the extending neck bar causing a small dent on the battery cover .

Its at times like these that you think about your investment. You get what you pay and if only that part was metal as opposed to plastic, it wouldn't even have left a mark.

But giving what you pay for it, the S3 is one of the best in its class less of course the sucky part that it takes WAY too much mem for high quality video recording... almost 1.5MB/sec....YES....per/sec...

Ooo. Lucky ur cam ok! Yeah, nowadays at least 1GB of memory card for a cam.

If you take photo and video mix, 1GB is not enough. At least 2GB. I ve experience this during holiday. Just 1 place visit will take 2gb+ of memory when shooting mix.

Yeah. I'd say if video recording is included, The S3IS Really eats up the mem in minutes. You'll need 2GB at least, and 4GB would be comfy and a dream for me. Half and hour of video recording with STEREO Sound.... wah.....

Whats the price for 4GB now?

i was wondering what's the latest pricing for the s3is? and how is this cam as compared to sony's dsc-h2?

4GB is too expensive. My solution is get the data bank. The space can last for your long holiday.

Just wondering about the cost for 4GB cos I like everything to be in the cam and not have to cart along more stuff since I already bring a lense + adapter. Also I bring my lightweight notebook everywhere so a data-bank is not needed....

This was what I did the last time I went on holiday with my pss2is (sorry, I don't have the S3, but it's almost the same, just with less megapixel and smaller LCD), I had, at that time only 2pc 512mb card. I brought along my laptop. Luckily, I was staying at my relative's house, so no fear of losing expensive items there.

It won't take much space actually. I just keep it in my waist bag. I too bring along my lightweight notebook and some EXt Hdd. But most of the time I keep those thing in hotel. Just carry my camera and databank in my waist bag.

Sorry add me in my A710IS with 2GB...can shoot 500-600 shot....with 2AA batteries extra in waste pouch....hehe

How much recording minutes do you get with your cam + 2Gb card at highest video quality?

i wonder whether it is the best time to get the s3, bcoz the new digi3 proc has just come out.

I bought mine from fotokem back in Aug at RM1899 payable in 12 months installment via credit card. got 1gb card, microfibre cloth, fotokem membership card plus discount n free vouchers, orginal canon casing. I also opted to pay an additional surcharge for eatra 2 year warranty which i think is a good deal.

I like the camera, nice and sharp shots. A thing about tripod, do not save and spend on the flimsy ones, spend a little bit more and get the solid one. My uncle gave me his tripod which he bought from his trip to China (solid one and selling in China for less than RM100 i think) Sorry, guys I do not know where he got it.

I am looking to add on lens for my camera and also contemplating to sell mine off to buy EOS400D, it s a killer... ha ha ha.

Cheers..
