Canon EOS 500D Kit Lens (18-55 IS) with 8GB SDHC, Bag = RM3150 (Photo Shangri-La, Mid Valley)
+
Canon EF-S 55-250 IS = RM800 (Key Color, The Gardens).
Total = RM3150 + RM800 = RM3950 is cheaper than buying a Canon EOS 500D Kit Lens (18-200 IS) at RM4350.
Difference = RM4350 - RM3950 = RM400. RM400 that is saved can be used to buy 2 branded (Hoya) UV Filters for both your lens.

First and foremost, the 18-200mm IS is not a "lazy people" kinda lens. doh.gif
The 18-200mm IS is in fact, a very good walk-about lens. You don't need to carry so many lenses, yet you have such a wide range.
Not to mention, you shouldn't compare prime lenses with zoom lenses cause prime lenses are sharper than their zooming counterparts.
It's not like the 18-200mm IS has very bad "IQ" (Image Quality). In fact, the 18-55mm IS also is a very good lens that's fairly sharp for it's price.

If not mistaken, the warranty wouldn't be applicable in Malaysia because it's local warranty.
Therefore the warranty only applies to it's country of origin (where it's bought).

Type of photography u want to do : basically, i'm a trigger happy person. i like taking photos of almost anything and everything .

Any specific models in mind? :  lumix lx3 & canon s90 but i'm open to new suggestions too.

tried out the lx3 in a shop today, i think i'm in love. they didn't have the canon s90 though. i want to check that model out first because that's just what one has to do when there a canon fangirl in her.

my main dilemmas between the two is:
-the pocket-able size of the s90 versus the more bulky lx3
-the HD video recording abilities on the lx3 versus the inferior video recording abilities of the s90.
-quality wise, i'm not much of a pro so i could use come advice smile.gif

being relatively new, there aren't that many s90 reviews out there while there has be so much praise of the more dated lx3. reading review after review, i'm still just as confused as when i started out.

dear sifus, what do you advice? thanks in advance smile.gif

The lx3 and s90 are the two I'm trying to decide on.

There are quite a few reviews of the s90 out now and essentially its a matter of taste.

The negatives:
lx3
Bulkier and heavier (relatively)
Lens cap (can easily lose)
Not much zoom capability

s90
No HD video capability
28mm vs 24mm (lx3)
Weak battery

At the moment, I'm leaning toward the canon although that could change when I manhandle both, probably at the shops tomorrow.

Would like to hear from lx3 or s90 owners on the reasons why you chose one over the other.

You could be reading all the reviews available to you through the internuts.
However, one's perception towards that product can be totally altered when they themselves try the product. If you're worried about losing your lens cap (LX3). Get those lens cap that has a string attached to body of LX3. If you need zoom capability, how about adding a telephoto converter (not sure sure about these converters though, they may decrease the image quality).
