SAY CHEEESSSEEEE!!! :DDD

12 megapixel with 15x optical zoom. Shiok max!

Ok. Honestly speaking, i saw this digicam a month+ ago and was already contemplating getting it back then. But my dear colleague, Mike adviced me to wait for the newer model which is coming out in April. Moreover, the newer model features more varieties in terms of the colour choices (red, white, blue, silver, black) instead of just black and silver for the current model. Since i am just a novice when it comes to camera, i decided to listen to his advice and wait.

And then it happened. Haha...

Apparently the guys went down to Suntec for the IT Fair while i was having my appointment with my client. The next thing i know, Mike called to inform me that he already bought the digicam for me on my behalf. Mike reasoned that the deal was too good to pass up and the differences between the newer model is not that huge anyway to justify paying a couple hundreds more for it. He asked which colour i want (black or silver) when actually he already bought black for me -_-'''. Faintz... Luckily i wanted black anyway. Haha...

So tada, out the blue i got my camera earlier than expected!

After laying my hand on the real stuff, i have to say it felt pretty solid and compact. At a cost of only $399, i think it is super value for money given the functionality of the camera + all the freebies that were thrown in :DDD. At least the black colour design exudes a classy and stylish feel, as compared to silver colour which is so common nowadays. Thank god Mike did not choose the silver colour. Hehe... Apparently, this is a prosumer camera, meaning it is a blend of professional and consumer (semi-pro). I have not really play with it yet, as it seems slightly more complex than my previous camera. I love the fact that it has 15x zoom and wide angle lens which is perfect for my Europe trip in late May. The best thing is that unlike those older cameras in the past, the newer cameras can handle higher memory capacity. Can you imagine my old kuku panasonic digicam can only read up to 1gb max!!! O_o''' I probably have to spend the whole trip deleting those unwanted photos just to free up the memory space. And i don't think i wanna do that or even have the time to do that!

The freebies - Pouch, Mini Tripod, Screen Protector, Card Reader,OEM Battery,16GB SD Card+8GB Micro SD Card.

Now i have 16GB + 8GB + 4GB(exisiting one) = 28GB memory space to utilise! Can take tons of photos and videos for my trip without deleting it. So happy! Muahahahahhahaaaaa.
