Brand, Speed....

Ok, I've bad experience with Kingston

Reply this to him..

Thanks for your kind reply.. I couldn't wait for your reply and I ended up buying the 8GB SDHC and yea I'm using the 8GB SDHC on my Canon S3is now.. Thank God I didn't wait for your reply..

Hahahahhaha... Maybe that will make them physically try it out in future rather than just giving a rough guess.. Nevertheless, they are kind enough to reply you.. Way better service compared to O2 Malaysia..

so, we cant direct attact filter on the lens, need to use adapter?

Hehe.. I officially joined the S3 IS club. Bought the camera with standard accessories, case, tripod, screen protector, 2GB high speed SD card and some inexpensive miscellaneous freebies(from Sony ) at a price of 1.6k. Maybe there is better deal at Sg Wang but didn't have the time to travel way there.

I got 2 warranty card. One from Canon Australia and one from Canon Malaysia. Maybe the Canon Australia card is considered null.

I love the camera. It's fantastic. Just some difficulty in focussing sometimes. I still need to learn a lot more from this little baby. I'll still half way reading its manual.

Ah, almost missed out; This camera gave me momentary electrical shock when I connect it to my TV and USB. The camera is not grounded I suppose.

I think it's not the camera's fault.. I've got shocked by other TV Output cables as well.. Dvd Player, PS2 but not the Canon..Or at least not yet..

The shock from TV is pretty nasty. It's much 'shocking' than the USB shock. Hmm.. your S3 doesn't give you any shock? I'm an electrophile? Haha..

I loaded the camera with CHDK firmware hack. It's quite cool. Still got lots to explore. Sadly, my laptop's internal card reader can't read 2GB SD cards. I'm forced to load the firmware into a 64MB MMC. I need to get an external reader for my 2GB card.

can anyone post the latest price for this product?
by the way can we compare S3 with IXUS 850is? are they in the same league?

can't compare with 850is ler. both in different league. simple to say, S3 is in pro-sumer and 850is is in consumer point and shoot...

Phew, at last I finished reading each and every page of the manual. Much better in handling the camera already. Haha..

I would say. They do not want to confirm the S3 could support SDHC and >2G Card.
To prevent ppl claim warranty on this....

Wht brand of SDHC tht you all suggest??
I'm planning to get myself 2x 4G card... (should be much more enough...)

the SD850IS is still a compact point and shoot. Funny thing is that the Canon Powetshot S3IS was also put into this category in some webbies. But its actually a prosumer. Lotsa extra manual functions you can't find in the 850IS. Plus stereo video recording on a 432mm 35mm camera equivalent lens...

guys, quick question..

is it worth getting a wide lense? if so, how much would it cost?

what is your SDHC class? the class 6 speed (the fastest class for SDHC thus far) is min 6MB/s vs conventional SD 2GB 150x which is max 22.5MB/s. Would u mind to try on continuos shooting mode to test your SDHC performance? thks~

Yeah, Please lets us know the peformance and the video shoot also. Can it coupe the camera writing speed.

ya, where is pict S3 boleh one!
