Delighted me... 16 Dec (Sun)

Ed wanted to buy a camera for me as a christmas and birthday prezzie.. We thus sourced for potential cameras for the whole week.. After much filtering, I zoom into the following 2 cameras: Panasonic- TZ2 and Panasonic- FX30... ( after my uncle's recommendation for panasonic cameras as they uses leica lens)


Tz2
Slightly larger is size.. But this camera boosts a 10x optical zoom.. How cool is that... I can capture idols, animals, sceneray at a real close distance... Good for travelling

The Sleak FX30...
with just a 3 times optical zoom. Good for the daily use though.


We then headed to Alan photo at Sim Lim square to look at the cameras. My uncle recommended this place to get cameras as it is generally cheaper than departmental outlets.

Upon weighing the pros and cons, I decided to opt for the sleak FX30 as it is cheaper ($385 vs $470) and it is just nice for daily use. I managed to convince my mum to get the FX30 @ $385 (for a camera, case and a 2G card)... My house only functioning camera has been taken by Coconut to Cambodia. Handicapped in taking photos. Mum thus decided to get a new camera... What a nice timing!

Today, Ed and I then went out to Junction 8 to window shop. Guess what, the Tz2 was selling at $349 for the full package (screen protector, 2Gb card, case, tripod and cleaning kit). The usual selling price was $549 and Alan photo quoted me $470, so when I heard $349, I was so excited that Ed bought it for me right then. Imagine a cost saving of $130!!!

Thus, in the end I have both cameras for 2 different functions.. haha.. But I have to share with my sis and ed.. Anyway, I am still so happy that I got the same product at a so much lesser price.
