My new toy

Got my bonus yesterday. Woohoo!!!

Actually not that much lah, cos I only join my current organisation in June. So practically I received half of what I received last year. But still feeling happy.

Done some Xmas shopping and bought a new gadget -- a digicam. Yeah my 3 yr old digicam really CMI liao.

I surprised myself in the end, as initially, I had decided to get Canon Powershot A640 with rotational lens. (so used to this feature which was found in my old kyocera camera). had done some homework on it. Upon reaching Sim Lim Square with a friend ( need a guy ard when shopping at Sim Lim), found that the model is is discontinued (blame it on outdated forum thread.. the camera model only released last year leh) and the similar latest mode is Canon PowerShot A650 .

Wanted to get this cos it has the rotational lens function. And this model is 12 megapix!! But my friend said that it is so bulky, not suitable for me. and I wun be fully utilising its advance feature cos i dunno much abt photography.

So he recommended this camera which is sleek and has a wide 3 inch screen . showed me all the fun things I can do with this model, where can add icons (stars) on the pic taken directly on the camera. The best part is that this camera cost $100 less then the Canon PowerShot A650. Though it is 8.1 megapix , it has face recognition, smile detection features and the best offer among the authorised dealer in Sim Lim Sq came in a package of TWO 2 Gb SD card ( each value at $65) and a carry case.

So at the last minute, I can see it is quite stupid to get the bulky Powershot just becos of a that rotational lens feature and i decided to change my mind.

Here I present my new toy:

Sony Cybershot DSC-T70 in rose pink.

Too lazy to describe abt its specs cos they can be viewed here:

One thing I realised. The above pic of cos is taken with my old digicam. So the last pic (most prob) taken with the old digicam is a pic of the new digicam which it will be replaced by.... How ironic!

Have to say although I am not very into pink, but this camera is very "me" hor. :P
