Today marks the retirement of my Lumix after owing it for 5 years. That was way before Le Le was borned. Will put my Lumix in my mum's place so that she can "practise" shooting my girl while we are at work, hehehe...
I got a new digital camera today, welcome Nikon Coolpix. I have choosen it among the rest of the well known brand.
Lumix was totally out of my consideration already, not because it was no good, but because I have already own one, I would like to give other brand a try.
Olympus was totally out though it was a very good camera even since my first 傻瓜相机 (film camera).
My husband and I do not have preference for Fuji, Ricoh etc...
Sony cybershot was a good one, IT show bundle it was a good deal, a photo printer, but I don't like the idea of using "just my memory stick",
Canon and Nikon were left with our choice. The first booth I went was Nikon, second to Canon.
Canon Powershot has a long list of ranges which do not appeal, I don't like the plastic look using AA, quite "low-end" to me. They have high end one too, like the EOS but too heavy on my pocket. Ixus was a good one for me. The latest version being 95IS. I am totally attracted to its Digic processor, it seems to run faster then the rest I'd tested. Finally I did not pick it up because I think I am already satisfied with my Canon video recorder.
Nikon Coolpix was really cool. The latest technology being touchscreen, cool right? It's even cheaper than those with a rotary selector. Well, but what's the pitfall? 吃电 lah! You gotta select whatever you want from the screen, abit user unfriendly cause you will be the only one who is familiar and not others. I want my husband to be able to use it too, so it's easier with rotary selector, so the touchscreen is out again. Finally we had decided on a coolpix with all-in-1 features, will leave the features for you to find out!
TADA... finally our newly selected "baby" - Nikon Coolpix S610!!!
Hope that you will enjoy future pictures produced by our new S610!
