My new camera: Canon Powershot S5
I bought it in Singapore for 665 Singapore Dollars, around US$437, which seems to be a pretty good price (price included a 2GB memory card), making electronics and Indian food the only things that are bargains in Singapore.
A side note: This is the first camera I have owned that cannot be carried comfortably in a pocket. So I have now become the "guy with the camera bag" I never wanted to become. But I am having Yan Feng make me a leather camera bag, so either people will be impressed by my stylish camera bag or they will think that I carry a manpurse.

I've lived in Shanghai for 2 years and not found good priced cameras. Now I am taking another look to buy a Canon EOS40D, but do not know where to start. Amazon-eBay-or??-China?
Suggestions appreciated.
