Kinda bored with stock S3 now. Lately can play with RAW, was so cool...

Now thinking of upgrading it by adding accessories... Guys here know where to get good deals?

My add ons are 2 filters 1 CPL Polariser + 1 UV. Then of couse to attach them you need the LAH-DC20 adapter. Besides that are 3 lenses. 1 0.5X Wide angle, 1 Macro lense like the Canon 500D a 2.0X telephoto. Smaller add ons would be an extra set of 4x2700Mah rechargables, and extra 1GB card .....

Unfortunatly haven't tried RAW. Hows the performance besides the photos posted here a few pages back?

Only tested RAW once and was kinda impressive. But test using slow SD card. Later test on faster speed memory card. Don't have time to test run and really explore the pics yet.

I know this has been asked before, but would appreciate if any one could advice me the best deal for LAH-DC20 adapter.
I think I'd feel more comfortable having a filter in front of the S3 lens which will provide some sort of protection against scratches. If the filter is scratched, it's easier and cheaper to get it replaced.

You still can't find the LAH-DC20 set around? Its roughly RM100-110 I think now. Get a UV filter to attach to it and protect the lens of the S3IS.

Yah... Any recommended place to get that?

I scouted the whole of Sg Wang, 1Utama, LowYat Plaza, almost every camera shop I can find... So far only one of them have them in stock.. And the price wasn't reasonable.. It was RM150.. I'm still scouting though..

which shop is it?

there is one CANON shop in midvalley. they do sell all kinds of CANON accessories and products.

The CANON Lifestyle store. There is one in Midvalley, KLCC and a CANON BRAND STORE at THE CURVE.

The expensive ones are the only ones left as all the cheaper shops have sold them out. Initially when I went to look, even the LIFESTYLE Stores were sold out.....

No worries, they will restock very soon as the coming S5is is using all the same accessories as S3is.

Julchin_09 is right.. They're all out of stock.. Even the canon stores itself.. The one at Curve do not have stock too..

I'm a real noob about raw.. I've flashed my s3 thinking that raw will be awesome.. but i found out it's really weird.. U can't focus, and it snaps 3 pictures in total at one go.. Is there somethign wrong with my settings? Or issit really like that? I think it's my settings.. Was fiddling around with my settings and few seconds ago the batteries died on me..

Oh. Even the stores outta stock? I visited the place last year.... haha... Probably re-stocked and sold out again.....But the news of the S5IS using the same accessories is good news.....

As for RAW, I think when the NEW Menu pops up, there could be a change in your default settings..... Try check that and see......

Yah. check the settings. so far i shoot no problem. Saved photo on CRW and JPG also.

Okay.. Just got my batteries charged and WOW.. This program is great.. Geesh.. There's so many other things besides RAW.. RAW is awesome... Looking forward to get a hi-speed card now.. Gosshhh..

It's great... I would recommend this to ALL S3is users.. There are lotsa add ons and applications which are.. WOOHOO!!! WONDERFUL!!! Go try it out.. I'll upload my comparison between jpeg and raw images soon..

This thread is getting exciting again...SWEET!

Would love to see more pictures here....
