I know Canon 350D has auto features but not sure about D40. I think got.

out of question..

i f we comparing dslr function with prosumer.(s3/s4) than i think it kind of not fair..

i still treasure the functionality of video mode with my s3 ), live view with the tilting angle and zoom factor..

quality wise? well.. most.. i think all of my pictures print with 4R size..
the only issue. is night/ low light photo.. it ok.. but not up to dslr with prime lense quality or bounce flash.. muahahhaha

I am not selling my S3 anytime soon. Maybe until kaput or I can exhaust all the functions, but so far I don't think so.

spec for the d40 beter than 350d
but i love canon
i hav the canon s1 is how much can i sell
becos wan upgrade to d slr

u know sometimes attaching and bring so many stuff is a part of photographer enjoyment also hehe..............

I dunno.. But it seems that you guyz are not discussing about s3 anymore.. More like DON't BUY S3..

hahahaha..
q1 - S1 .. someone looking for it at garage sale.. instead.. pray for ur s1 to kaput then exchange it s3 for free like i do.. muahahhha

q2- yearh it true.. why everybody tend to divert the topic into d40 and 350D?? way out of league for this camera...

q3 - about s3.. i'm still busy right now.. don't no when it going to end.. but i love to start with the DIY stuff.. yesterday i check LAH for s3 it cost me RM160.. i know there is third party lense hood but dunno where to find it.. kekekek

malaysian people got lots of oney i think.. easily grab the dslr.. kekeke left out prosumer

I think most of the S3 user already convert to DSLR or for some potential buyer are waiting for the S3 replacement

LAH hoodset at RM160 very expensive!!!!!!!!!!!

The retail price for the hoodset is RM150 only not yet discount somemore!!!!!

My advice get the ori Canon hoodset. It more compatible than using third party lens hood.

rm160 is the price that being offered to me canon KLCC .... maybe today i will go to another shop...

Last time I got mine at RM140 at Canon The Curve. You need to get a 58mm lens filter & a 58mm lens cap as well. I think all together is about RM220.

I got my LAH-DC20 for the S3 for RM120, But its at SImLIM Singapore. I couldn't believe the prices here, even the Canon Tele and Wide converters were extremely expensive here. Singapore is RM100 cheaper at least......

I'll probably switch to a DSLR but will keep the S3 for its Video Recording and tele features....

anyone know where to buy tele/macro converter for s3 is in malaysia and the price ? thanks

You can get them at CANON Stores like the one at Midvalley Megamall. It might be cheaper if you head on to camera shops but Im not too sure how much cheaper. Last I checked, the RRP for Wide and Tele were RM430 - RM490 each.

too expensive for me hic T_T
if buy all the wide/convert/marco lense to add on, i prefer to buy new DSLR system T_T

If you are making a trip to Singapore, You can get them Much cheaper. Last I was quoted SGD$160 which is RM360 here for the Ori Canon Ones. Or you could get a 3rd party Lense for around SGD$ 60 -120. I did the latter..... . Cost me SGD$120 For Wide+Macro combo.....

By the time you travel down to Singapore to buy the items it cost more than you can get it here

may i know what is the best price with package now?

Smack ON. I got it as I was vacationing there so no probs. Just don't make a trip just to get a few items. Doesn't justify the expendature....

It has been for awhile and it seems that no one has answered my question.. Is it possible to have fisheye on Canon S3is? I don't even mind home made.. I did try the peephole on my old compact camera, but flash will not be even..

If you don;t mind spending, I've seen Fisheye lenses on 58mm threads just nice for the S3 IS in catologues online. I think its in the lensmate website.....
