The Camera Entry
Yep, to make a better decision one must not neglect research. *Grinz* So far, these are the cameras that have caught my eye and I wonder if they are within my budget. Seems funny that while you're contemplating on whether to get a phone with a camera function or a camera itself, things happen to help convince you to make the latter decision. Had to handle a theft case today. The theft item? A Sony Ericsson W810i! The mobile phone today has just become so convenient it has lent itself to abuse huh. People leave it in all sorts of funny places when not in use. I had a feeling that might happen to me, so i decided to stay with a simple phone. Haha.
So here are the cameras that caught my eye! Canon Powershot S1 IS (Image Stabilizer), Canon's PowerShot A700, Canon PowerShot A620. All of them have adjustable aperture and shutter speed priorities, so they allow for more experimental photography. Guess what? They boast great auto functions too, so it's great for a beginner like me! The build is just right for people with pneumatic fingers like me (can never handle those ultra compact ones), and what do they have in common? Higher end zoom functions! Haha. I'm basically looking for a camera with great potential so it can last me a pretty long while I guess. Megapixels are within a healthy range of 3.2 to 7.1 (what in the world was I thinking with Sony Ericsson's 2.0 megapixels?!).
Ah.. Photography holds such meaning to me. The moments you treasure and appreciate, captured in your perception; there's so much to explore! I can't wait for May!
