Listening to: Here is Gone, Goo Goo Dolls
Thinking of:
Equipment Used
- Nikon 885, Compact Digital Camera, 3.2MPx (retired)
Well, this was a pretty good camera in its time and age. However, due to unforseen circumstances, it just failed a week before I was due to fly off to Italy. Repair would have taken too long and too costly, 100 quid for a 250 quid camera that was already 2 years old?
3X optical zoom, usual semi auto features
- Nikon 5200, compact digital camera, 5.0Mpx
Current compact digital camera, been pretty badly bruised due to my ignorance unfortunately :(. Decent photos for a 5Mp compact, loads of features but no manual override. Easy in the hands and slips into the pocket without much fuss. Definitely a plus when running around in unknown cities. Like the 885, 3X optical zoom. On board memory and great focusing speed and colour. Definitely a pint size knock out!
- Cannon Powershot Pro1, 8Mpx
Current main camera until I fly back to the UK (gonna leave it in KL). Feature packed with excellent picture quality. 7X optical zoom. A prosumer camera with features to boot. Cool bezel zoom thingy (unlike the buttons, I suppose its for the "SLR" feel). Have not changed the lens on this one, though it can take Cannon lenses. Only problem is that the focusing takes ages (unless I put set it to point focussing) and well, have lost some pretty good shots no thanks to it. Sigh... But a good camera nonetheless. Oh, btw... also purchased by dad! Hence extra smiles for that one :D Though a nice size for what it is and it feels great snapping for a couple of hours, lugging it around to dinners and functions is a big no, no... Kinda annoying having to carry something like that.
-Sony Ericsson T610
Camera phone, enough said...
Current Squeeze
Nikon D70, "Cheap" Digital SLR 6.2MPx
Ah well... Will have to wait till Christmas and save up for this one. Dad and Dan intend to put the Pro1 to good use, hence leaving it in KL. Kinda like an SLR, prosumer camera to myself. Anyone, care to sponsor me on this one? Prices start at RM 3600 (about 500 quid). If I'm good enough, will be able to get the lens for that price too. Or of course, anyone more generous could purchase for me the D100 instead. :D
Previously Tried
Nikon D2 Digital SLR
Ah, thanks to a kind friend... Held this lovely in my arms with a gorgeous telephoto lens last christmas (can't remember which lens... hehehe, was too overwhelmed). Cost, RM 20,000+ (around 3000 quid).
