The salesgirl told me that $1499 was the promotion price during the roadshow, after the roadshow it would sell at $1699 without the free gifts. I got a bit worried, since I thought that $1499 was the MSRP. Since the S602 is not released yet, there was no way for me to verify the information. Then I decided to ask her about the F601. Thank goodness she gave me the same sprew, that the $1099 was during the roadshow only, that it was selling for $1299 outside without free gifts. Of course I knew that AP was selling the F601 for $885 with a 128SM, so it is likely that they will sell the S602 at $1300 or less.

I switched to (6MP,high), and then ...
Speed of Saving of image into media - very very slow, although the buffering allows me to shoot 2 or 3 shots before freezing for abt 5 to 10 secs to allow the images to be saved onto the media ...
I understand that the (6MP, high) is a normal 3MP TIFF ... forgot to try out (6MP, fine).... saving speed may be better

6MP high is a 6 megapixel 18Mb TIFF file, 5 to 10 sec is very fast already. There is little reason to use the TIFF mode since there is very little perceivable difference in the image quality compared to fine mode.
The buffer can hold 4 shots at 6MP fine (about 2.4Mb each), and shot to shot is about 1 sec for the first 4 shots. That's about twice the speed of the G2. I don't think any non-SLR digicams can match the S602 in terms of shot to shot speed.

I just checked with AP, s602z will be selling at AP at beginning of June (right after the official launch), at a price of $1100 to $1200! That's damn cheap man for such a cam. Also asked what free gifts he will give, and the onli free gift is the camera case.
So, any more potential s602z owners??![]()
I may get it if I successfully get a bursary I am applying for.
