icic.. u can always organize one wif e fellow S3 users. seein dat so many of them are still fiddlin wif their new toy..williamku said:Basically what we can do with non-auto functions and some basic digital photography techniques like focus lock, shutter & aperture priority.
Sure, one can pick it up from the manual but I was like trying out everything the trainer was saying and asking a lot of questions. The session was definitely a lot more useful than trying to fiddle with the camera using the manual.
Of course, it would be ideal if there is a practical session but that would probably stretch the whole training to midnight!
Anyway, hope they would have a separate practical session. Perhaps can join their canongraphers outing.

Yes, joining a Canongraphers outing will be beneficial to you as everyone there will be able to share knowledge, experiences, etc. with everyone else during that time. Also, one will be able to 'test drive' other pieces of hardware that you might not own.williamku said:Basically what we can do with non-auto functions and some basic digital photography techniques like focus lock, shutter & aperture priority.

Bought a Vacuum type box to store my S3 IS from MS Color for $18! Was told by them no silicon needed
That's a GOOD deal.
My wife is very interested in this new S3 and she is more into taking macro shots of insects and flower (really close kind).
Any kind :heart: soul willing to share your macro shot please :bsmilie: I would like to see how the pic looks like before secretly buying one for her.
Thanks in advance!!!

She did try on her newly acquire IXUS but I think you know that it is not that great and thats why she is thinking about getting a PROSUMER cam to try.
Any pics from brothers here please ;p

eh, the S3 is not a DSLR lah. it is a digital compact camera, has a fixed lens, and an electronic shutter. on the plus side, you get much deeper depth-of-field, no wear and tear on the shutter (can switch off the sound even), and composition on the LCD.
as for zooming. the fixed lens is capable of 432mm focal length (equivalent of 35mm format), which is quite a lot of zoom already. a tele-convertor typically add about 40-75% (1.4 - 1.75x not sure about the one meant for S3), which means you could get a whopping 750mm telephoto equivalent.
