The average price is abt S$900 in Singapore.Originally posted by chaotic
I've been looking around the internet for best price in US for c-700... I managed to find one for $413US approx $760SGD . Is that a good price to buy it for?
Hmm....the price seems tempting but unless u walk into a store to purchase it and check on the spot, it'll be a hussle if there's any problem. Also, note that the warranty doesn't apply in Singapore when u r back.Originally posted by chaotic
thanks for the fast reply. I just happen to be in the US at the moment so I want to get one here so that I can capture my moments here. But I am really considering hard because it's a big expense. ;-)
I'm using C700uz. Actually if you are looking at the 900 dollars range. There is 2 clear winner ( C700uz or C2100uz). Then you will have to decide on the two. C700uz is 'VERY' light and small(smallest in the world for a 10x optical zoom camera) but it comes without IS.Originally posted by chaotic
I'm staying here about a few months only. Any one using c-3020 here? I am trying to decide between c-3020 and c-700... tough decision. ;-)
It's cheaper, but it's in Nihon-go. Unless you wakarimashita!Originally posted by mpenza
Japan is a bit cheaper at ~$730 including taxes.
And there will be no free hotpixel mapping for you.Originally posted by Klause
P.S: important to note that international warrenty is not accepted in Olympus Singapore. If you buy it and then it get damage, then you try to bring it to Olympus Singapore, they will charge a lot for the repair.
they have much bigger zoom. 995's advantage is the higher MP, swivel body and ability to accept IBM Microdrives.Originally posted by chaotic
how does the 2 olympus cameras compare to the Nikon 995? Now the price seems to be quite similar.
isnt a tripod with c700 bigger than C2100 which with IS, can be used without tripid??Originally posted by Klause

C2100uz, which comes with IS and have the same features as C700uz is much more bulkier and heavier.
For me, because I enjoy taking pictures on the streets, animals, travel, trekking, I opt for the lightweight and powerful C700uz.
I have a tripod with me at anytime so I dun have to bother about IS a lot =p

IMHO, C2100 can be used without tripid (just kiddingOriginally posted by hong

Oh no! I couldn't resist the temptation... I bought a Nikon 995... it seems like not a popular model here...

Ya, if i will to carry a tripod with c700, i might as well go with C2100 which allows longer exposure to capture still imageOriginally posted by Jayan
Wow! I didn't know that...lemme go home and try it out!!!!
can't put it this way. IS helps to a certain extent but if you're going for really long zoom or in low lighting conditions, tripod would still be necessary.Originally posted by hong
