Olympus E-420 Body with Olympus 25mm F2.8 Pancake lens + Olympus14-42mm Lens

$899 (usual price: $1,505)

Booth: A1913

THE Olympus E-420 lays claim to being the world's smallest and lightest DSLR - so compact they say it can fit into a purse or a jacket pocket.

Coupled with an equally compact Zuiko 25mm f2.8 lens, you should be set for a whole day of shooting without breaking your back.

You won't break the bank either, given this deal also includes a zoom lens, plus free accessories like SD cards, extra battery and tripod.


Canon EOS 500D Kit (EF S18-55 IS) Digital SLR

$1,399 (usual price: $1,469)

Booths: A1916 & A1917

IF A compact point-and-shoot does not cut it for you, consider a DSLR like the Canon EOS 500D. The kit includes a 18-55mm zoom lens with image-stabilisation abilities so you can do some general shooting without worrying about blurring due to shakes.

With nine auto-focus points and expandable ISO up to 12,800, action shots as well as photography in dim lighting are possible. Gifts with purchase of the kit include an 8GB SDHC memory card and EF Lens Workbook.

To extend the lens reach, get the EF-S 55-200 IS lens at a purchase-with-purchase price of $459 (usual price $549).

Purchase an extended warranty on selected Canon DSLRs and be eligible to buy an EF 50mm f1.8 II lens at only $50 (usual price $159).

An EOS 5D Mark II USB drive worth $38 (2GB) will be given away with every EOS DSLR and extended warranty purchased, while stocks last.


Samsung C10 Digital Camcorder

$399

Booth: A1909

IF BEING out and about with a stylish camcorder is a priority, check out the Samsung C10.

Employing the same Samsung Crystal Design that is used in the brand's high-definition TVs, the C10 shows off a unique look that is patented.

The mobile professional, who is the target user, will also like the Samsung Active Angle Lens which reduces fatique and stress on the wrist and elbow.

You can also plug the C10 into any computer with a free USB port and edit content without software installation. What's more, a one-touch upload button hooks up directly to YouTube for easy video-sharing.


Canon LEGRIA HF200 high-definition flash memory camcorder

$1,599

Booths: A1916 & A1917

FULL HD 1,920 x 1,080 video recording is within reach with the Canon LEGRIA HF200, which has the added convenience of using flash memory to film all your precious moments.

It has plenty of optical zoom power at 15x and the instant shooting feature ensures you never miss any footage.

There is even face detection that can track up to 35 faces in a frame.

Bundled gifts include a battery (worth $119), 8GB SDHC card, SDHC card reader, video bag and a Selphy ES30 compact photo printer (worth $299).

Did we mention it is also dustproof? There is even a manometer for checking air and water pressure and an LED illuminator to light up underwater or macro scenes.

Olympus Mju-550WP

$348

Booth: A1913

IF YOU plan to be near water but not scale an icy mountain, Olympus Mju-550WP might be more suitable than the Mju-Tough.

It is waterproof up to 3m and offers dustproof protection in a body that also houses a 10-megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom.


Canon IXUS 110 IS digital compact camera

$549

Booths: A1916 & A1917

SHAKES and tilts may prevent you from getting a proper shot, but when it comes to image navigation, these hand actions make it simple for you to browse images.

This is just one trick the IXUS 110 IS can do. You can also shoot movies in high definition and the blink detection feature ensures that portrait shots turn out well.

There are more reasons to smile if you buy this gizmo: gifts include an 8GB SD card, camera case, digital kit bag and a $30 shopping voucher upon online warranty registration.
