finally got my s3 today! bought from a mas stewardess who bought in nagoya japan a few months back. 1100, mint condition with a nice case, 1 gb bag, gp 2500 batteries & fuji charger. she had taken less than 200 photos on the cam, like new.

all my manuals are in japanese though! ;|

before meeting up with her i stopped by selgangor photo in pertama, they were willing to give me same deal for 1500 after hard bargaining. the sales guy was pushy, did not want to let me leave the store, was telling me i had to give him a deposit if i left without buying and wanted the same deal when i came back.. which is bullshit of course.. regardless, if anyone is looking, they should give you the same deal, cam, bag, 1gb sd, 4 batteries and charger for 1500.

in the end i chose to save 400 and go 2nd hand. love the camera!

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...

you can get an s3 today for 1200 (no extras) at sel photo in pertma complex, bring cash, bargain hard.

llamasonic: you just bought ur s3 at sel photo for 1.2k?

i was offered that as 'last price' - however i ended up buying a lightly used camera with accessories.

that price was camera only. if you go into the shop and straight away ask for that price, i doubt you will get it.. but when they ask 'ok, what is your budget' tell them you cannot spend more than that. they will eventually say ok, cash right?
