but some times their service is not bad too.. maybe this time round they're just too stressed due to the respond of s1... well if u still think they are too much for their customer service.. try ms color. always for my service. if they dont have stock.. can order with them and leave down ur hp no. they will call u when they have stock. 3 cheers for ms color

saw S1. got quoted $860. i asked for more discounts. 850 w/gst. i din take it. still a bit high. din come with extra stuffs. only standard package: 32mb cf etc.

i think bargaincity deal better.

128MB CF = $50
Charger + Batteries = $35
CF Reader = $15

The free stuff is only worth about $100, so you are still paying $850 for the camera which isn't cheap at all.

BTW MS Color gave me an equote for $780 excl GST.

Default MS Color

Well, went down and asked abt the price, best price is $850. Too high liao. I manage to find a shop in Marina Sq selling at $815 incl GST. Still considering whether to get it there... can afford to wait awhile, hopefully the price will drop somemore...

Default S1 IS has stock at Alan Photo already

Hi guys,

Just purchased my S1 IS from Alan Photo. Cool. Like it very much.

However, the wireless remote control is out-of-stock....

NOt sure if it was a typo ... but I was at Centrepoint on Thursday and they had a Canon booth just outside Coffee bean showcasing the Canon cameras incl the new ones and the price they wrote in the handout for the s1 was like $688. I wasn't in touch with the price of this camera and when I checked the Canon website, i noticed it was retailing at $900+. If u are free, you may want to go to centrepoint to check. (I could be wrong, but I think the pamplet had a typo). U can try to get them to sell u at the $700 price.

FYI, it came iwth freebies too.
