QUOTE(kelvinyam @ Apr 20 2007, 07:55 AM) I went to Fotokem Kajang yesterday and I was told that S3is is currently out of stock. The only outlet that still has stock is Ipoh. I then went to Cheras Selatan and there's no S3is on sale. Same here. All also got to order. I've shortlisted between Panasonic FZ8, Olympus 550UZ, Sony H5 and Canon S3IS. After reading reviews on it, it seems Canon S3IS owns all 3 of them even though it's older than them by 1 year. Sigh.. Which shop has S3IS now ? |

QUOTE(julchin_09 @ Apr 22 2007, 04:32 AM) SONY H5 I think can leave out. I heard its been discontinued.... Yeah, or maybe S3IS wins because it has most of the features I need Between the FZ-8, Olympus 550UZ and S3IS, Still the S3IS wins? I know I've read the comparisons in STUFF Malaysia between the older FZ-7 and 510UZ and S3IS with the CANON taking the overall winner but never expected it to outshine the NEWER Pana and Olympus.....   But according to dpreview, Fz8 and 550UZ has more cons which S3IS doesnt have. Anyway, I got mine from fotozzoom on Saturday. After finding high and low, out of the 60 fotozzoom outlets, only Ampang Point has. While Fotokem, only Ipoh and Klang has left. Still exploring to get the best out of it.  edit: click for the review's conclusion for 550uz,fz-8 and S3IS http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympussp550uz/page18.asp http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympussp550uz/page18.asp http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canons3is/page14.asp This post has been edited by morph: Apr 23 2007, 05:45 PM |

QUOTE(kelvinyam @ Apr 23 2007, 08:43 PM) I went to the Canon Road Show in Mid Valley last Sunday and they don't have stock for S3is. So I went to a few other camera shops and finally found the one offering the best price. It's FotoData. RM1400 cash (CC add 3%, 0% installment add 6%). I only manage to get a screen protector for free. That's freaking cheap!And I've bought the last unit in that shop. I'm not sure how soon will the boss restock. My first impression to S3 was that the focus and zoom is so much faster than my A80. Mine was RM1509 as I made my booking thru fotozzoom's website. Or else it would be RM1699. I paid a total of RM1721.20 for: 2x1GB Pendrive SD Card 1 x screen protector I still haven't get the batteries yet. Currently using old batteries from my olympus 740-uz rating at 2100 only xD. Yeah, I actually called up Canon in MV and they told me there's no stock even the roadshow. Happy snapping with your S3IS |

Actually I got an offer from FOTOKEM IOI Mall for Rm120.
But I think Canon no stock. I ask everywhere also say they've ordered but Canon not yet send to then yet. Yesterday I went to The Curve Canon, they said 30th June only the new stocks will arrive. I've also tried PM vladimir, but he no reply. sigh~ p/s: who's William ? |

I'm using this technique now for my S3, but one thing i'm worry is the flash being deflected directly back to the built in flash, i wonder will it FRY our build in flash?
please advise. p/s: i notice there's burning smell when i use the strongest flash  source : http://www.instructables.com/id/EFWF47HEFPEV2Z6BX8/ This post has been edited by morph: Jun 23 2007, 12:29 PM |

QUOTE(ganz @ Jun 25 2007, 04:10 PM) location? The maximum ISO i'm willing to push is 400 only.BTW, any idea on how to take picture in-door..last Saturday i went to cineleasure (transformer exhibition).. i'm not using iso 400/800/ super due to HIGH noise so i try to stick with 80/100 and 200 at maximum.. maximize the exposure.. i'm using flash.. but the picture look to horrible (robots placed in side the glass container try open wide the apperture (using Av), try using Tv to play bit with shutter speed.. still got the same.. uishhh headache already.. trully previously i'm more on out door rather than in door.. any suggestion except for DSLR? kekekekek I'll try to keep 200 most of the time except at REAL bad lightings. Personally I dont like direct flash in my photos as they create a 'fake' feeling to me in the pic. I've tried two ways, one using paper to cover up ur flash, making the flash 'softer'. Another way is the bounce way, using the cig box as i posted earlier. That's all I can share. |

QUOTE(zio @ Jul 9 2007, 01:44 PM) Wow really nice pictures there...must play more with my S3 until can reach that effect zio, can you please post pics when using the flash diffuser for S3 once you buy it?Anyone know where I can get a flash diffuser for the S3? edit: Never mind, found it already. Some shop called Eng Tong in SS2 carries the LumiQuest soft screen. Too bad they close at 6pm. Wonder how I can get there and buy it..hmm.. Would like to see what the result. I've tried googling for S3's diffuser, but I cant find any. The ciggie box works for certain conditions only, how sad  This post has been edited by morph: Jul 9 2007, 05:18 PM |
