Default S60 in Singapore

Some news on the S60 in singapore.

I've been scotting around for the prices. Thinking of buying this camera. (Anyone with comments against this?)

From my research thus far (dated today 9 July 2004),

Price of the standard S60 body(box), is about S$778 (excluding GST)

Most places will try to sell it for about S$850(including GST). Others would try to throw in a few goodies with this price, like camera case and tripot. One shop even tried to bundle with a 1GB-40x for additional S$330

Anyone has better pricing, dont mind post it here... will buy camera very soon.

I've checked a couple of places.

South Asia (Funan)
MS Color (Ang Mo Kio) <-- best price for just the package with not add-ons
Cathay Photo
Another new camera shop at Funan(cant remember name) <-- best price if bundled with 1gb CF card

Prices as of 10 Jul 2004.


Didnt check Alan Photos (too crowded)

dive76, will sure let u know when i am ready to buy, but i am not in a hurry yet. Just called Cathay, was quoted S$850. Ask if they bundle together with the u/w casing WP-DC40, was told it wasn't in stock yet.

maybe Comex might have offer for bundle like they used to have for the panasonic F1 Model.

anyway anyone have tel. no. of paris silk?

Correct me if I'm wrong; I heard that the G series has been/will be discontinued?
