... for me. MY VERY FIRST SLR DIGITAL CAMERA!!! I have always been wanting one (what other things have you not been wanting as well Phoebe??? tsk tsk...), just that I could never bring myself to buy one since it isn't cheap. It is not about being able to afford it or not, it is about the pinch of buying such an expensive toy. Devil side of Fairy says, "Oh, then what about your Chanel, Gucci or even LV bags which are far more expensive than your camera? LAME!!!" OH SHUT UP!!!
Before heading down to Suntec City where the COMEX is held at, I did my research on which are the better models. I narrowed down to 2: Nikon D60 and Sony A200. Price wise Sony is $100 cheaper than Nikon, but both are within my budget.
My first stop was at Sony. I tested out the camera and I loved the zoom, 15mm - 70mm. And fuction wise, it is pretty user friendly. The cons will be that after all it is not known as a camera maker brand and that the lens are just normal lens unless you buy the Carl Zeiss series which the cheapest will cost you $1100? Zzz... And also the grip that is kind of tough for my small little fingers to grip on. After a few shots, my fingers were aching.
Headed to Nikon's booth next and the minute I was there, I was like "Can I take a look at the model D60?". The images was obviously clearer and nicer colors and the lens itself definitely a much better lens than Sony. Also, it was pretty easy for me to grip on for my small hands. But the cons are: $100 more than Sony, zoom is only 15mm - 55mm and less user friendly.
After going back and forth both booths for two times, I ended up walking home with a Nikon D60 which cost me S$988. Tomorrow I will bring it along and try to take some pictures with it since I will be meeting my friends for dinner. . Below are some pictures I took of my camera and the freebies. Nice huh =p
