My New Gadgets Digital Camera

Since mid of 2006, my car got break-in and all my stuff was stolen. My digital camera “Sony DSC T-1” was one of my gadget. {Don’t want to remind me about this anymore} Ever since then, digital camera always is one of the items my “Wish Lists” that I need to buy. After waited more than one year plus, finally less one item is out of my Wish List.
Some people ask me, why you have such a good phone you still wanted to buy a digital camera? That’s a good question. To answer this question, I have to tell you about my passed whereby take photo is one of my hobby and important how I keep them. Until now, I still keep a lot of my collection either hard copies or soft copies. Photo album itself I have more than 10+ (Big Album), and in digital format; can you guess what is the capacity like? Let me check on my PC hard disc, estimated 40GB of photos. I’m catagories myself not a professional photographer; therefore the pictures quality is not to the extent that I need to printout for billboards next to the busy street in KL. I just a casual hobby photographer; most importantly I could enjoy the viewing times that occasionally I like to browse thru the photo I taken and get some memories leave behind. One of my posts in blog was I mentioned that I dislike people look at my photo and delete it by themselves. I HATED that very much. Bacause this is what in my mind, the camera is mine, no matter the photo taken is nice or not; I still have the right to delete by myself and not by the viewer to do it. Unless I give the authorization to do so.
To cut it short, I just got myself a new Digital Camera “Canon IXUS 80 IS” on Sunday 10.08.2008. Supposing that I should go for Sony brand, but after doing some survey and review on the camera. Finally decided to go for this Canon IXUS, because it “PLC” P=Pham L=Lieng C=Cheng. PLC not refer to “Product Life Cycle” or engineering term “Programmable Logic Control”. Price is reasonable, size and quality is good, accessories add-on is not that costly as well compare to Sony. Night mode and picture quality can be as good as Sony and equivalent too. Another important fact is under my budget too, got this camera less than RM900 with good deals. The whole package included :- Camera come with all the necessary accessories, additional 2Gb memory card, mini tripod, original casing, metal strap from Canon, back pack from Canon, Umbrella from Canon, Original Ximplify DVD software. Also pay by credit card without 2.5% interests added to the final price. With all that above, I might also won the “MBF Card Got 5” because the approval code ended with 5; which mean I might win the RM50 from MBF credit card. {Last month I just won RM50 from this Got 5 promotion from MBF Card}. Lucky Cheeky! This Canon IXUS 80 IS also got a high rating of 85/100 from “Similar Digital Camera You May Like To See” source from http://www.cameras.co.uk/reviews/canon-ixus-80-is.cfm
