Is that Ixus 800 IS yours? Can u share where you got it and at what price? Thanks. Asked MS Color and they said its not here yet.

Thanks.

Any idea on comparing S3 versus S80 on the following?
- Image Quality
- Low light performance

Any issues with lack of RAW ability?

Am impressed by G6 lowlight and image quality.
Wide angle in S80 is a draw. ;p

Dealers should be getting their stock soon. I think some should already have stock.

Anything else you want to know about the S3-is?

Wow... U sure have quite a few canon cameras huh? I'm actually considering between the FZ7 and S3. Wonder if you have any comments on this comparation? Both are new and same class and nearly similar price range.

I've seen some pics of these on the net from other websites and seems like the S3 gives much softer images whereas the Fz7 is v sharp. But noise wise, I'm not too sure.

Got it at MS Color, $760 also. There's a few more buttons compared to my A510, otherwise the interface is pretty familiar. Haven't tried daytime shots since I just got it, heh.

... and there goes my "Progress Package" money :bsmilie:
