PC Show 2008

Filed under: IT Show, Portables — hendrikch @ 10:12 am

Anyone going to PC Show 2008 this time round?

On top of my wish list are:

1. In-ear earphone (after I gave mine to my brother). Considering either Sony MDR-EX32LP @ $38 or Creative EP-630 @ $36. Non PC-Show prices are $42 and $45 respectively.

2. A new digital camera to bring for my trip in September. Using 3.2MP camera phone for a trip just doesn’t cut it. Considering Canon IXUS 860IS. The promotion in PC Show is $599 with 2×4GB SD card.
I asked other shops. Cathay Photo selling @ $560 with 1×4GB SD card, while Alan Photo selling @ $535 with 1×4GB SD card. INK was suggesting to get a dSLR like Canon 1000D, or at least a Canon PowerShot G9, but feels quite big and bulky to me. I may delay this purchase until sometime nearer to September, hopefully the prices will come down a fair bit in a couple of months time.

All deals come with the usual Canon gifts like camera bag, and if paid by UOB credit card, can get an extra battery (worth $68). Alan Photo person mentioned there will be an additional 2% if I paid by UOB credit card, but considering I can get an extra battery for $10, it’s worth it.

Anyone ever used any of the items I’m considering? Sony earphones? Creative earphones? Canon Powershot cameras? Canon IXUS cameras? What do you think?
