Just got a Canon SX130 IS for $184 at Harvey Norman , I believe it is Lowest price in worldwide.

This is full manul control camera, perfect camera for practice before U buy a DSLR.
For this price, it is perfect one to learn photograph.
It has most of DSLR's function and full manul control wheel.

It use Rechargeable AA batery, it is cheaper…
I bought 4 SANYO ENELOOP rechargeable AA baterries for it.
2 in it and 2 for standby.

I am a student and I donot have money to got a DSLR, this is why I choose it.
I like this camera very much.

I believe, camera is crucial, what's more important is the head behind it.

it's price in JBHIFI about $329,
$299 in DSE,
$280 in some camera warehouse
$230 on Ebay(Grey Import)

$229 on HN web as below:

PS:
Someone may find a lower price on internet, but they charge a Very Expensive Postage. Their price + postage above $230.

    hey, under what promotion is the 20% off in?

    Weighing this up…
    Cons: I know bassically nothin about photography, i rarely take my camera out with me and dont travel nearly enough to justify this purchase
    Pros: overwhelming urge to buy this coz it sounds like a really good deal!

    Guess im goin to hn 2mo

  • Aap Ke Papa on 23/07/2011 - 18:44

    does it use AA batteries?

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 19:28
      +4

      Yes, I bought 4 SANYO ENELOOP rechargeable AA baterries for it.
      2 in it and 2 for standby.
      Cheap than lithium battery

  • nubzy on 23/07/2011 - 18:49

    Is this the best digital camera before stepping up to DSLR??

    dont have the money for a DSLR and not real impressed with standard digital cameras - but this one sounds like its a bit better.

    • ironworthy on 23/07/2011 - 18:52
      +2

      no, there are certainly better, but they're also more expensive. for example the canon powershot s95 is over 400

      • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 21:53

        +1
        S95 is better with its large CCD/CMOS unit,
        but its price is close to a cheap DSLR, this is not good,

        So, SX130 is good for new learner

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 19:35

      For this price, it is perfect one.
      It has most of DSLR's function and full manul control wheel.

      Rechargeable AA batery is cheaper

    • uraha on 23/07/2011 - 21:17

      nope this is kinda in line with standard digital camera

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 22:06

      I am a student and I am also no money to get a DSLR.
      This is why I choose this camera~

      LOL :)

  • m2000 on 23/07/2011 - 19:27

    Good bargain! But "Worldwide" is bit exaggerated.
    http://www.eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au/canon-powershot-sx13…
    Not that I would buy anything from them and have not taking into account postage…

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 19:30

      No,
      Postage is too high @ this websiate. up to 50-60 dollars““

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 19:33

        "Lowest price in worldwide". It just sounds like it is the lowest price in the world even without taking into account warranty/postage/…

          some website offer a low price to attract the customers and get profit on Postage :)

  • bargrin on 23/07/2011 - 20:16

    bulky camera but great deal, I am tempted!

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 21:51

      :)
      from the photo, U may think it is bulky.
      but it's real weight and size is OK.

  • Black Hole on 23/07/2011 - 20:25

    One ugly design but good review but this price point. Very tempting to get one for wife but this looks like a lemon.

      Yeah,
      for female, it is ugly.

  • RocketSwitch on 23/07/2011 - 20:28

    Sales end tomorrow, gotta get to my nearest store!! Very tempting indeed.

    Cnet rated this 7.2/10 http://asia.cnet.com/product/canon-powershot-sx130-is-452871…

    Basically in a nutshell:

    The good: Excellent photo quality, features for its class; manual shooting modes; uses AA-size batteries.

    The bad: Slow shooting performance; bulky, heavy body.

    The bottom line: The budget-friendly Canon PowerShot SX130 IS is a solid compact megazoom for those that prize creative control and photo quality more than fast shooting performance or a small, lightweight design.

    Price is right!

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 21:47

      I find many review on oversea website, it is very good.

      I think Slow shooting performance is not problem, problem is aperture,only F 3.4

  • fchis on 23/07/2011 - 21:11

    A downside of this camera, drain batteries too quickly.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jrOvZJe9lA

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 21:44

      I can take about 400 picuture with 2 AA 2400mha Rechargeable batteries.
      So, I think battery is not a problem.
      and AA size rechargeable battery is so cheap

      • Black Hole on 23/07/2011 - 21:55

        What about video?

        • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 22:01

          not sure….I will try it tomorrow

  • damage on 23/07/2011 - 21:21
    +1

    I've got one of these, and battery performance on 2200mh NiMHs is great. Had to change them once on a seven-day walk I did earlier this year, and took several hundred photos. Not especially heavy, either…I've got no problems carrying it in my jacket pocket.

    Zoom & picture quality are outstanding. Be warned, though, it's about time for Canon to release this year's model in the same class…it's been out for nearly a year, and you will find them cheaper than this when it happens.

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 21:40

      Yeah, new model SX140 may announce @ August, but price should be around $300 or more.
      From SX120 TO sx130, some changes are good, such as wide angle.
      but some are bad, such as aperture.

  • citybargainhunter on 23/07/2011 - 21:33

    If you think this camera is bulky, wait until you get a DSLR.

    P.S. I am very tempted by this deal even though I already a Canon EOS.

      Its real size and weight is OK~

          Choose a Fixed-focus with wide Angle lens may be light :)

          So, I think people should spend more infitness center before them get a DSLR LOL:

        • zeomega on 25/07/2011 - 11:53

          Ermmm.. IT IS FIXED focal length?

          ROFL.

          Sure i can bring out something lighter like a 85 1.2 or 50 1.2 but what's the point in that when you need reach in low light?

    $184 is an excellent price for what it is. You get what you pay for…can't really compare this with a proper dslr.

    Only downside imo is the lack of vf. Otherwise, it's excellent.

      Yeah, I am 100% sure DSLR is better than it~:)
      for its manul control function, it is very good for beginner.

    if anyone looking for more compact canon try search Canon 300 HS. it has f2.0 lens ! and HD video
    grey import is just around $200-ish

    • miao he on 23/07/2011 - 22:59

      Canon 300 HS is also very good.

      If SX130's price is not so cheap in HN, I will choose 300HS.

      F2.0 is perfect for night view.

      But no long focal length and full manul control：（

    If you have miss this deal (like me), just wait till this Wednesday (27/7) for JBHifi's friends and family sale (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/49494).

    Just walk into your nearest JBHifi store, get them to open up Harvey Norman's website and point to this camera, get them to price match it, then apply the 15% discount they are having = win!

    You won't get 20% discount of course, but 15% is pretty darn close for a good camera like this ;)

    • miao he on 25/07/2011 - 12:20

      SX130 is $329 in JB HIFI store, a unfair price.
      Only about $170 in Japan.

    Great price, even at the listed $229 it is one of the cheapest options for a non-grey market buy.

    Unfortunately I had problems finding it in stock in SA… out-of-stock in all stores I was told… except Whyalla! :(

    • miao he on 25/07/2011 - 14:50

      Yeah, $229 is cheapest price for Australia stock.

      I think you can order one instore,
      I findsome body order DSLR instore.

      I am confuse about that why most of ditital/electronic products is overprice in Austraia.
