any other suggestions with similar features?

mag 4yrs na kasi itong Pentax Optio S ko, need to upgrade na. baka may gustong bumili dyan

[Psylocke]

Good choice, ok yan, meron sa photoline metrotown mga 25k yata...

maganda yan wide angle, pero medyo makapal, sanay ako sa casio exilim s600 ko eh super slim... at pangit ang video ng canon hehehe

[raikkah]

at pangit ang video ng canon hehehe

For me, OK video ng Canon, comparable na sya sa mga Hnadycam, unlike other brand you are limited to less than 30 fps...

first cam ko is ixus V3.. OK sya.. now I got a S3 IS.. you can zoom while taking a video, tapos pwede pa take still shot.. although kita sa video pag take mo still shot...(lugi)

i have the 5mp version of that Canon and i'm very happy with it. bulletproof durability, very easy to use, and more features than i need. pic quality is excellent even for 5mp.

i'm just an average pic/short video user, so the bar is set pretty low for me...i rarely mess with the settings or extra features. if you're a 'power' user my review might not mean anything to you, but i do like this camera so much that i'll probably upgrade to the newest model in a couple of years.

one thing that made me choose the Kodak V series over the canon slim ones eh wala pa MPEG4 support yan mga Canon slim cams.

MPEG4 at 30 fps, dvd quality na yan. if you have 1GB of memory card, puwede ka na mag-record 1 hour DVD quality. if you have 2GB, then 2 hours, isang movie na hehehe

best of both worlds, that's why I discarded my videocam na and settled for this. isa na lang dala-dala ko to record both photos and videos.

tapos less hassle pa sa pag transfer sa PC and sa web, since MPEG4 na. no conversion needed.

For digicams, CANON is the best, partner with Canon photo printers.

Yeah but wait till you see the video capabilities of other brands.... like MPEG4 compression, canon eats up TONS of space, to capture 1hr of video you probably need seven 1GB cards!!!

But still this particular Canon is interesting due to wide-angle capability.... so the crappy video is probably forgiveable...

If video is a concern, Kuha ka nalang ng Sanyo Xacti... Friggin awesome gadget

ito ang balak kong bilhin: Canon Digital IXUS 850IS / PowerShot SD800IS
. . . .

boybi, mas mura pa rin dito sa Pinas vs. HK (Mongkok-Sham Shui Po) o sa Singapore (Sim Lim Square), if you know where to buy.

I always get my digicams / videocams from Ramon King - owner of Mayer Photo. His prices are normally 30%~40% lower than mall prices. Yun lang nga, cash basis only. Malaki talaga margin ng mall stores - that's why they can give you 0% for 12-months. Even Alex of Ambassador can't beat his prices.

He has the PowerShot SD800IS on stock for P16,500.- (sealed box, with original Canon warranty). If you call Super East/Canon Phils., they'll tell you he's one of their top 3 resellers by volume. He carries practically all brands.

welcome bro, Mayer was referred to me 3yrs ago by a local camera club who placed a bulk order of 50 Canon DSLRs for their members - so I checked him out. 2yrs ago, I got a new Canon IXUS30 then for P14T from Mayer; which the malls were selling for P22T, and Amabassador was selling for P19T. I doubted the warranty so I called Super East/Canon Phils to check on the warranty issued to me by Mayer - surprise, surprise - Mayer is an accredited reseller of Canon Phils. and was their no. 1 reseller 2 yrs ago.

Since that time I bought all my other stuff from him . . . Sony videocam, non-linear video editing gear (Canopus DV Storm2), CF & SD cards, etc.

I also referred Mayer to to an expat friend at the Asian Dev't Bank and the news spread around ADB so if you see american & european buyers there - they're likely from ADB. The ADB guys are frequent travellers and they told me that Mayer sells electronics cheaper than anywhere else in the world. Like me, they also go to Mongkok and Sham Shui Po (HK), Sim Lim Square (Singapore) or Panthip Plaza (Bangkok) but don't find prices as low as Mayer's.

sorry OT

Tawagan mo na lang sa cellphone.

Also, if Mayer doesn't have stock and can't wait for 2~3 more days, you can also try Watson Photo which is just around the corner from Mayer. Mura rin dun.
