QUOTE(orient kid @ Oct 26 2006, 05:43 PM)  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.. Tan You've been reading the back pages. Kudos. I have been slightly bugged by the emergence of DIGIC III and the newer Cameras. 400D is very tempting, But I'll wait. It doesn't justify my purchase of the S3 6months back.  |

Why not just buy the camera only? You can buy your own prefer batteries, tripod or even bigger camera bag if you want. The prices above already included so called freebies.

Yeah. Get your own bag. Standard CANON leather bag sucks......
Personally I got myself another bigger bag with shoulder strap. In order to fit my S3 IS with the lens adapter and a few lenses of course. Not to forget the need for space to store extra batteries.

I put my original canon bag one side. It look bulky to me and less side pouch to keep others thing. Maybe will sell it away. I brought another one with vertical place the camera, got side pouch and strap to belt securely. I feel the camera when place vertical, can deploy fast.

When I got my S3....WHAT OPTION?  Envious of those who got 2 leather CANON pouches at the Midvalley Cam fair. But then with all the accessories put in, even that won't fit. In the end still have to hunt for a bigger bag. |

Got 2 choice. Either big camera bag or leather original pouches. Since I got the original puoches, I choose the big camera bag. It is soft camera bag which can fold up small when not in use. Not much useful for me. Now I end up a lot of camera bag. |

Oh. the softmaterial type eh? I think should you have acessories for the S3, You'd best get those padded ones.
I just went to the nearest Carrefour's digital sections and grabed a sub RM50 Camera bag(padded) and it works like a charm......

I don't notice an increase in sound of the lense when starting up or closing. Even zooming in and out produces the minimal amount of noise. |
