I stuck a translucent film canister onto the flash. Only problem is that it gives a yellow cast to the picture, so have to post process.

to obtain starburst lorz.. if on a tripod it's ok. but his shutter speed shld be lower.. picture looks abit blown out.
 

Sunday Times today has huge advert for this at RRP $849.

So I guess can prob assume it will be $849 with more free gifts
at the PC show in June.

tis has been discussed for quite awhile le.. well, dere's nt one thin dat is most useful to e entire S3 users world. it all depends on ur take.. if u're always goin overseas or takin grp photos, e wide-converter is for u. if u're into birdin or paparzzi work, e teleconverter is e best option.. and if u love macro, get e close up lens.

don u think the 12x optical zoom is good enough? any idea getting a teleconverter will increase the zoom by how many percent?

Well, it really depends on what you want to shoot. For normal, everyday use, the zoom is enough. However, if you want to take shots of animals or birds, like at the zoo, the tele extender will come in usefull. Most of the compatible ones are the 1.5X extenders, gives you about 600mm of reach. Good enough to shoot the moon with. :)
