hey thanks guys. i really appreciate it
i hope that the s5is will be released when my sis goes to japan.
if the fz50 or s9600 is too expensive then i'll settle for the s3is
thanks again!!

well its quite cheap really. would have been a real bargain if it included some stuff. i was quoted rm 1550 for just the camera in Fotozoom (not fotozzom) SS2

true la....thats why i'm thinking of buying fujis9600.
but it depends whether the person wants the ultra zoom or not

woot..nice!
is the second picture zoomed in?
by the way....does fuji come with international warranty ?

wow.....what camera is that>?
i mean the camera that took that pic

i called canon last 2 weeks. they said it will be priced higher than the s3
but they said it will be lower than 2k.
since you can get a s3is for about rm1400 now, i doubt it will go any lower
besides, if want to wait, you have to wait till the s5 comes out and wait for the official reviews. just because the s3is is good does not mean s5 will be better. one just have to take a look at h5 and h7/h9 to know more isn't necessarily better

now must wait and hope till next week for my camera...

wow....thats really a good price!

looks like a bad pixel or a stuck pixel. its common especially if you have taken many pictures with it. if its under warranty, just ask canon to fix it for you. it would be ok if it was only on your lcd but since its on the pictures, it would be the ccd's problem. no worries.

i finally got a camera. instead of buying the s3is i got the canon EOS 10d instead. YAY!!

not yet ler... waiting for my bro to pass it to me
so excited! my first dlsr camera

Rm 1500 basic package with body only(New). i got free lens from my bro in law.
i initially asked him to buy the 350d but since 10d was better and in fact cheaper, he got this one. i dont know which shop in Tokyo he bought from though..
=)

if you want to wait then you have to wait for it to launch and wait for maybe a week up to a month for a good review

its not going to be cheap and will probably maintain the price for a month or so. if you add up all that, its going to be a few months before you might actually feel that its the best time to buy it

besides, i dont really think it is a big improvement over the s3is. the image quality might actually lose to the s3is due to its additional 2mp. unless u really really like a bigger screen. like the Sony h7/h9, though it is 8mp, i felt that image quality was disappointing. aggressive noise reduction meant that larger prints would not be appropriate. to me, the h5 (7mp) took clearer and sharper pics

end of the day, doesnt matter if s5is looks better than s3is on paper. based on the sample image i have seen on the canon website, the s5is's image quality is nothing to shout about. difference with s3is is minimal or unnoticeable. just my thoughts

just wait for review or buy the s3is, which has prove it is the best cam. in its class!

hope that helps!

yea...its already discontinued. my bro found in in japan. no...its a new unit.
first retail price was USD1999 but street price was around USD 1500
=)

hmpph....i'm using a canon 10d and still cant get great shots
my hand shakes la
any suggestions ka?

none le
i have someone else to shake my bro
haha

yes yes....i always depend on higher shutter speed. so if its dark always got motion blur ( never on purpose) haih..

maybe tripod can help...

hmm.......should any tripod be ok ka
the thing is my camera damn heavy la....i'm afraid it will tip over
i was hoping can get one below rm100
=)

hm...thanks guys

really tight budget these days... =)

maybe i'll save up for it to get it

By the way, lobsterman? ss2 ka?
where is the shop?

perhaps the cheapest method is diy tripod....though i suspect my KH skills
for now....any table....chair or book that is of correct height will do lar

no $ ler..
yeah....photography ain't cheap at all

just bag almost rm 200 di
