Reputable online order for photography materials in Thailand

The s-100 is a fact, just need to fins one. Can't seem to find an online retailer.

The housing is going to be the Ikelite housing. This may be an interesting site for comparison. The housing they recommend is just too expensive for me.

ToHome has the S100, but the price is a bit high:

tohome.com: Shopping Online - Canon PowerShot S100

And, yes, those RecSea housings are nice, but I can hardly justify the price.

At the moment I think I'll just stick with my A1000. I think most of my photo's shortcomings are my fault rather than the camera's.

Limbo, I've just tried to buy an XZ-1 through a Thailand-based distributor called Sale Point, but after doing the whole order process, getting a confirmation, etc., I got an email that the item is backordered, even though the website shows plentiful stock. So that's one to avoid, at least. Now I'm still looking for a good place to buy a replacement XZ-1 (don't ask).

The best Ikelite prices I've found in Thailand are with One-Stop in Krabi, if that helps.

Hi Quero,
Am already in touch with One-Stop regarding the housing. Thx.

I looked at a few Thai language online camera retail sites. They all want about 15,500 baht for the S100. I think that's the same as ToHome (in Thailand, but English language). That's about 3000 baht more than the Amazon price.

I wonder what the S-100 does in a normal shop in lets say Panthip or Fortune.

 

[Buadhai]

How much does One Stop want for the housing?

 

[limbo]

10,725.-THB for the Ikelite.

 

[Buadhai]

Very close to the US price. Good deal.

According to their Amazon storefront page, these guys will ship Internationally. Of course, you're hit with shipping charges and probably customs duty: Mozaik Underwater Cameras

After reading a number of reviews, especially about battery life and software glitches, I think I'd go for the Olympus Xz-1. Camera plus OEM housing for about US$800.
