new arrival

remember i mentioned my 4-plus-yr-old digicam failed on my recent vacation? well, i finally got down to getting a replacement today. i don't ask for much, so this is what i got....

it's not just the 9.1MP with Leica lens plus 10X optical zoom & wide-angle capabilities that impressed me.....

.....it's also a whole host of anti-blurr, anti-shake & anti-red eyes thrown in as well. actually, my personal preference would have been a dSLR but since the family needed to use one as well, i settled for a compact. my daughter wanted a sony T2, in pink of course, so this is somewhat a compromise.

but she said she wouldn't be caught carrying this (humongous) case.

hmm....doesn't she know that while in Rome, do as the Romans do??

PS. i needed a camera as i will be going for our annual pilgrimage to the orang asli settlements this weekend.

Yan,

the new bundle of joy should be a grandchild - but that's not due for some time.

Anastasia,

i assume you meant the camera?

doc said...

TZ,

i think "awesome" will be an over-statement, but after having used it over the weekend, i'm impressed with it.
