how much for the charger? call and ask some shops, no one selling. Then 3 party batteries, also some carry only original.
Hws the case? Price? so hard to find a items from gmarket. mostly can be found in ebay but no worth the price due to postage..haiz.

3rd party batteries are usually not reliable. It's one of the areas where I'd rather spend a few extra $ and get original.

The external charger and spare battery from SLRR is very cheap. Case is $99 fixed. Seems like a controlled price.

I've ordered one direct from CS. Hope it gets here soon before i travel. Unfortunately cannot put lens cap.

Is it cheaper to order direct? Anyway I am traveling next week too so I would not have ordered from US. Bought mine from Artworkfoto.

Me do away only with the leather case, no need any caps on. Just watch out when taking photos between any glass panels. Knock a number of times, no scratches found hehe

I think ordering from CS is about S$15 cheaper, if you can wait.

Hi, anyone using HX9V and upgraded to RX100? I have a HX9V and it is a good camera to use on busines trip but sometimes taking pictures in discussion room and can't use flash and so the pictures are ok but somewhat noisy. For "normal" casual pictures, it is also alright except I find the HX9V seem to have too aggressive noise reduction and sharpening.

Thinking of upgrading to RX100 but don't know if "worth" it (I don't mind the shorter zoom).

Appreciate any inputs. Thanks.

The rx100 is totally different beast from hx9v. Put it in raw and you will be amazed by the iq

I have a problem viewing video AVCHD files taken with the RX100 on my desktop PC. The video hangs but sound goes on. I don't have this problem with AVCHD files shot with another camera. What could be the problem?

Could be your PC doesnt support the file HD size of Sony..Is your PC Graphics card good enough? btw what is your other camera?

You might have an outdated avchd codec

So currently what's the best deal in town? S$822 at harvey norman is it (that's what i recall seeing earlier in this thread)? With what freebies ah?

Should we get Sandisk Extreme (45mb/s) or Sandisk Extreme Pro (90mb/s) for best performance?
