Purchased a camera from Metropolitan, the local agent. The camera developed a manufacturer flaw within about 2 months. Sent to metropolitan who forwarded it to canon singapore
canon singapore have fixed the camera, but metropolitan can’t seem to get it to me (it’s weeks since they fixed it, nearly 2 months since it was given).
I miss my camera. Sure it was deeply flawed, but then again, most great things are.
Note: metropolitan is a good company. I’ve purchased stuff before, and I do continue to recommend them (and Canon products), but I think the repair turnaround for cameras (2months and counting) is a bit too long.

Really good news for dialog TV users - UTV world movies is available as an additional channel, for just $1 + tax! previously, you had to upgrade your whole package (which would cost about quite a bit more depending on what package you were subscribed to.)
So, go ahead, call dialog and request this channel be added on to your subscription, as it is excellent - and at the cost of just $1 approx, a steal

Sample photo taken with the 50mm 1.8 - at f4 I think..
The 50mm 1.8 is an excellent lens. Its small, light, and quite sharp. At around $80 (10k here via agent) it’s also quite a bargain.

Dropped by the autolanka G2G at marine drive, so I had a chance to test the 18-55IS lens. It’s actually quite decent. Here are some photos. (Sorry about the extreme saturation!)

I took some photos with my Canon 90-300 zoom lens today. This photo is a good example of what this lens can do. Sharpness is set at zero, aperture f9, ISO unknown probably 200. Click to view original size. As you can see, at 100% it’s pretty decent!
