It's Christmas!!
Ah, finally...
My digital camera arrived today! After hours and hours of reading reviews and checking prices, I finally settled on a Sony DSC-W1. I even went to the local Circuit City to take it for a test drive.
I gave my Minolta Dimage Xt to Mummy dearest, since she kept complaining how bulky and old-skool the Nikon E950 was. Yeah, that camera was a brick (size) and a dinosaur (tech). I also managed to sell two of my lenses, so I had cash to spare. I felt that it would be really inconvenient to carry my DSLR around for travelling so I really needed a compact digicam.
I placed my order on Tuesday with Dell (they were having awesome offers) and it's here today (Thu)! Now that's what I call fast! The only thing I'm still waiting on is the 256MB memory stick. I also ordered a nice snug carrying case for it called the Crumpler Sports Guy 0.4.
Did some testing a couple of minutes ago and wow, what can I say. This is a babe of a camera. Firstly, the LCD is HUGE! 2.5 inches of pixels! Then, there's the super-fast startup time and almost non-existent shutter lag! The camera also incorporates some professional features including histograms and a manual override.
Some other cameras that came close:
Canon S410
Casio S100
Canon G5
An excellent review on this babe can be read here.
Ah, finally I wont have to lug around my huge monster while travelling. I'm still debating on whether I should use film or digital when I'm vacationing. In this respect, I'm a bit of a traditionalist....FILM ROCKS! I love my prints in tanglible form. But for the sake of cost-effectiveness and simplicity, digital has the upper hand. More film vs. digital debates later.... lemmie enjoy my new toy!!
