[mageditor]

Song Brothers is $519 (DOC: 31/05/2005)....

I dun think I will get from The PC Show. It's just too far away at the Expo.

Personally, myself and cci[RR]us would like to settle our purchases by this week. Let us know soon if you are joining in the 'W' fun. We wouldn't like to be kept bumping the MO.

How many people do we need in order for a successful mass order? From how I see things, there's only 3 guys right now and I'm not sure if that is enough to yield the desired low price.

3 is better than 1, right?

Here's the latest update on the PC Show offer....

$599 list price(should be able to bargain)
Free Gift: 512MB MS Pro

I will probably go down to take a look in the afternoon if I have the time. Will keep you guys updated if there is any thing new.

 

[mageditor]

We got our W5 for $510 nett. Good deal.

[mageditor]

n there's a catch... they need to leech you for another $120 or more before you can use $20 for peanuts....

Just called them to verify... $20 can only spend at Gallery or Square... Too bad not at the retailer last nite.

n dont ever patronise Sony Square @ Funan (Juzz1) - Got severe attitude problem. Sibeh rude. 2 word: It Sucks!

hi, it's been tough getting this MO off the ground. As i want to get on with life and my new W5, I have stopped taking any further queries.... since the original group of W5 buyers has been notified... and gotten theirs.

Thanks to Mike, another Mike Ng, cciRRus for your support. Tho just 4 of us... still better than no MO. Now the accessories part ...

Thank you for your support.

You can use it for buying a wide angle converter and adapter or the new 15 min charger. I forgo my $20 the last time i bought the W1. Dunno what to buy. :sweatsm:

i'm currently using a canon A95, is is worth it to change to a W5?

 

[MichaelMO]

i'm currently using a canon A95, is is worth it to change to a W5?

I am curious that since A95 is a relatively new camera, how come you want to change so soon?

Is the A95 giving you some problem? I read from somewhere that A75(if i remember correctly) has some manufacturing defects. The affected customers are given an option to top up cash to change to another model. Not sure about A95...

As for changing from A95 to W5... The best is you go and try out W5 yourself and see if you like it, as one man's meat is another man's poison.

Basically the good points about W5: Super low power consumption, large screen display, very fast response, great looking camera. As for A95, I think the best feature is the screen that can be turned around and it uses non-proprietary memory media.

 

[cciRRus]

The LARGE screen is a freaking cool luxury, if you ask me! I'm actually quite pleased even at the thumbnail preview mode! The thumbnails are actually big enough for me to see!

And.... the more I look at the BLACK W5, the more I like it. Never felt so proud of a unique looking camera. Trust me, compare the black and silver one, and I'm sure you'll go for the black

I need the LCD protector fast... Any suggestions?
