some stores in the US have started selling this already.
The S100 is going to be the real upgrade to the S90, so looking forward to this. The s95's are now being cleared at ~US350 in the US. good to grab one while you can.
The question is price... previously the S95 went for <$600. In the US S100 is retailed at USD429... so should be below SGD600.

Might not be the case. You forget to calculate import tax and GST. This is one reason when you buy lenses and cameras from Hongkong and sometime in US, you can get it cheaper and the price difference might be as high as S$2XX.
if i am not wrong singapore does not have import tax right?
nevertheless one cannot be sure about sg sony pricing as we've seen.
but thanks to the internet and global logisitics, a lot of forumers are now getting cameras, lenses and accesories from various sources - internet direct, JB, PI.... I think Sony SG will be looking at their pricing closely to ensure they don't lose out.

I don't think so, they rather don't sell anything at all here. Singapore is too small.
Nope... no matter how small... there is still a market and they can still rip off from this market. One way of doing is that anything bought not from this country as local sets will be consider grey sets and no warranty will be given.
This is a tactics that had put off many people into buying from the internet...
And just check... (my fault) singapore don't have a import tax... but have GST still.

Not sure about Japan but Bestbuy in the US has it in case you have friends or relatives there.
actually tying in a vacation to for shopping and to buy cameras wouldn't be a bad thing considering the strength of the SGD.

I was told that it should be in by end of the year. If I have to guess should be before the christmas period to target the shoppers.
checked with authorised canon dealers, they either clueless or under gag orders.....
as they indicated that s100 shld be coming in the Nov IT Fair (24 - 27 Nov) and none can 100% confirm :angry:
I just came back from a biz trip from KL and they have indicated that S100 is already loaded in their ordering catalogs but price is not available yet (u can see the same in MY Canon Website).
Amazon = Stocks not available
Bestbuy = USD 428
