ooo... wayyy out of budget. Sobs... looks like it will be the A570 IS then... unless anyone has a under Rm1k improvement to that...


Added on August 6, 2007, 9:20 pmThere's one shop selling it for Rm899 (880 if cash) with tripod+case+lens cleaner (watz that?)+screen protector+ neck string (what you call that again?). Do you think it is a good bargain?

Looks like a great cam with good features.

Looks like a good deal. Still quite new mah. Less than a year. Should be fine. Make sure never drop before only buy.

Got battery problem or not. (batter drains fast)

Lolz. It took me quite a while to convince mom to let me buy my cinema ticket online and miss all the queue. Oh well....


So do you think the Rm 880 is worth it for an A570?

Ok, I've finally decided to get the A570 IS. Where do you think is the best place to get good prices?

Bo Eing Sg Wang, lowest price offered. Guaranteed.

Can even pay by credit card without extra charge.

Well, if stay far, maybe you should get it from somewhere closer.

Need to take into account petrol, and if next time wanna send back for warranty also gonna be troublesome.

Consider PowerShot A640, it's just slightly more expensive. The reason is it has articulated screen, it's more convenient. And it has larger sensor size, 1/1.8" vs 1/2.5". So you get less noise at high ISO. High ISO because you need to shoot horse, and to increase the shutter speed, you need to open up the aperture and increase the ISO. You don't really need IS because the max zoom is only 4x and since you are shooting fast moving object, you don't use slow shutter speed.

You can try:
1. Selangor Fotografi @ Pertama Complex
2. Boeing Electronic @ Sg Wang
3. Photo Data @ Mid Valley

If it's really exceed your budget, get PowerShot A630 then. Similar features, just 8 mega pixels compares to 10 mega pixels. It's the same price with A570IS. Less mega pixels might be better still, since it doesn't put too many pixel within a small sensor, the noise will be lesser. Just like the S3 and S5 case.

I will also be taking lots of pics of my dogs in doors.. is that ok?


Added on August 14, 2007, 9:34 pmHmm..someone said that the S3 can be bought for Rm1200 at the S3 thread..The A640 is about Rm1399 according to the canon site...A620 is about Rm1099.. hmm maybe I'll check that one out.


Added on August 14, 2007, 9:43 pmCould you tell me the difference between the a630 and the a570 beside what you have said.. like from the movie quality down to the flashless lowlight pic quality... thanks.

A570 is a new cam, so can't check it out in more detail via review. You can check out the A640 review though, you can use that as a reference for A630, the features shall be same.
