At this point of time, A710 IS is costing Dhs 1350, ie around Rs. 16,335 with a 512mb card as well. One of my friend is also planning to buy it. So we'll ask for Dhs 2500 (Rs. 30,300) with 1 GB cards and pounches.

And I think I'll go with A710 IS only.. S3 IS is little bulky and looking like a DSLR...and I dont want to pay Dhs 150 extra for SD800 IS only for the sleek body.
