aErOpLaNe911, mind sharing where you bought it from?

Where did you get this? Amazon + Comgateway?

best buy new jersey. entire manhattan was out of stock. hand carry back.

it cost US$429.99 plus 10% tax. plus bus fare to get there (about US$15), plus 90 minutes of travelling.

and a sandisk 16gb for US$24.99 plus 10% tax.

battery life is surprisingly short, even with gps turned off. so add a phottix nb5l ($20) from rdp to the bill.

and a lowepro apex 20aw. and a cheapo desktop tripod. both the pouch and the mini-tripod were purchased eons ago, but had never been used. so add them to the bill.

so total bill is about $675?

after some reflection, would I have gotten the S100 if i could turn back time?

honestly.... no.

i would have waited for the S95 to drop in price, as it has now.

the S100 is a great camera, but the S95 isn't really that far behind at all.

just my $0.02 worth...

Yalor seems like s95 is a better choice leh.

its a different lens - the s100 is a longer zoom... so I'd expect tradeoff quality and reach.

real life pic shots for the s100 looks very promising...look through the comments posts for references.

I have [old] Ixus 800 and looking for replacement. My wife has S95, so I ll prolly get this S100.
