Search in vain for the non-existing Canon Ixus 100 IS

In a nutshell:

I was looking all over Megamall for the Canon Ixus 100 IS digital camera knowing that it was launched in the Philippines sometime February. I was so excited that I am willing to go hungry in the next weeks just to buy it today. I went from Mega A – Mega B and lower ground to fifth floor and found no sign of it, not even brochures. As a last resort, I called the Makati Canon office through my cell and lady said it won’t be here until the first week of April. It’s suggested retail price is 2,1950. I can’t wait that long! I bought a ribbed square-cut sando instead.

UPDATE March 26. Two to three days after this post the Ixus 100 came out in Canon Megamall. I got mine at 19,950. You have to haggle like in palengkes
