Remember camera from HK no local warranty...
Some problems as below, discussed in the previous few posts.

Check is the LCD screen got some problem. Go to other threads about S90, discussed in detail about this problem.

There is a LCD screen problem? Can't seem to find it in any other S90 thread in clubsnap...

This thread, somewhere close to the end, should mentioned about the LCD problem

You have to update your Adobe Camera Raw, Downloadable from Adobe website, to read the raw files of any new camera, including the S90

Thanks bro, I'll try it out soon!:thumbsup:

I bought a 860IS in HK. Then I brought the set to Canon Office and convert it to intl warranty (6 months).

hey guys! what's the best price you guys got for your S90 so far?

 

[oxologic]

cheapest would be $595 through canon's privileged purchase programme. kindly read through the forums for other prices quoted for shops. it's around $650.

 

[narcosis]

Hmm..3rd party batt at $6..! How bout the original Canon S90 batt? Any idea anyone?

is 595 including GST or still need to add GST to 595...

ha the $6 battery is pretty good actually. tested and works just as well as the original. Long term wise not sure, but at $6, if each battery only lasts half a year, just buy another n replace!

Included.

Just wonder about how many shoot it can last for a full charge?

 

[prana82]

$6 battery?!
i'm not worried whether it works..but about the safety of the thing!

so far the best price my fren got from HK is SGD $620 .. with 8gb card + 3rd party batt + casing + 6mths international warranty.

 

[urbangamer]

Which is better ? the S90 or G11 ?

Which is better ? the S90 or G11 ?

Depends on your needs and wants....for me the S90's winning factor is its much smaller form factor. I chose S90 over G11 mainly due to its much smaller size.

Go to websites like dpreview.com to compare differences btw both cameras.

In Malaysia can get the similar price (615 plus minus), just without international warranty and 3rd party battery.
