Hi Alex
First, I must congratulate you for the the re-launch of your new site. Have been following your site for years and I must say the content is really amazing and the efforts you put in highly commendable. Do keep up the good work in sharing the beauty of Redang to more nature lovers.

Re the Panasonic DMC-F1 digital camera, I managed to grap a piece during the fair and the deal is fantastic. The UW casing is built by Sea&Sea, up to 40m! Free gifts include mini tripod, padded waterproof safety case, 2x32M & 1x64M SD cards, cleaning kit etc. And the lens is made by German camera manufacturer LEICA!! All for $599!

Can't wait to visit Redang again to try out the new camera. Let me know shd you decide to go up before the official season starts on 1 Mar 04. Maybe I can join you for the trip. Cheers.

I saw on ST recently that the same model now goes for $549 w/o the casing. Panasonic pp told me the casing alone cost $299. Adex will be in Singapore in Apr 04 and there shd be good deals during the fair.

I found a shop recently at Shaw Towers (the one in Beach Rd) called Jade Gift Shop (or Gift Centre, can't remember) that sells electronic goods, including dig. cameras for a pretty reasonable price (I was inquiring about the Canon A80 with marine pack) - among the better deals in Singapore. Other shops I normally try to get at least a quotation from are Paris Silk (Holland Village) and for camera stuff, Cathay Photo (can request quote through their website at cathayphoto.com.sg). Of course, if there are upcoming exhibitions and you're not in a hurry (monsoon season ends only end Feb), you might be able to pick up a better deal.
