Enter The Camus

After much toiling, and debating, and agonizing, I finally went ahead and bought myself a new camera. Everyone, please meet, Camus the Camera! A Sony Cyber-shot w80.

And yes, he is pink. Thus the name (named after girly-looking guys because like Sasarai, Camus is a guy who looks excessively like a girl. Not that I don't think that is hot XD). I already have a digicam actually, but that one doesn't take very good pictures in dim lighting. And besides, right now it's a bit out of...commission. Been wanting to have him fixed but haven't got the opportunity hehehe...

Took a bit of browsing before I actually bought this one. I searched around at the available models. tried them on, the went online to look for user reviews. I had several things to consider, one being the quality of pictures it take in dim lighting, price, functionality, appearance and of course, whether it'll still be relevant in four years to come.

If you hadn't gone digicam browsing lately, you'll notice that most of the new Sony cameras are touchscreens. Not that I mind too much with touchscreens, but...you know. I am a clumsy person and such, so enough said about that.

The wonders of browsing around Sg. Wan led me to the realization that I could get the camera for cheaper than the list price of RM999 and with a free 1GB memory stick! I found RM950 and RM920, but thankfully they don't have pink ones. Until finally I went to this store where my dad bought my last digicam and they offered me the same package for the price of RM899! Plus I get a free pouch!

The pouch is dull and black, and the sale assistant know too well that I would replace it as soon as I got it. But for now it is Camus's sleeping bag, until I can find a better one, who knows?

I saved rm100. And that, my friend, is a lot of money XD. I could buy a pants or a shirt from Padini Authentics with it.

My sister is coming over from Kuching tonight to go watch Backstreet Boys concert tomorrow night. Glad I don't have to go. Not that I don't like BSB, but the timing is not right. I'd rather sit at home and watch TV than go out and see the concert :/.

I'm very busy these days you know.

Till next time.

Ta'ra!

Camus is so pink and shiny! Makes me want to feed hom some candy! D: Oh how I long for having a small and functional camera again. *sigh*

How was the concert? XD

Sis said the concert was awesome. It sent her into cloud nine for a long time hahaha!

If you want a cheaper camera along Camus's line, go for the W50. XD
