The reason why this blog is created is because Multiply.com is shutting down & all posts will be removed. Some posts here are back-dated from Aug 2004 - Aug 2012! I'm just doing a screen-shot & re-posting slowly cos it ain't easy to import every single photo. Therefore, only thumbnails are available for viewing, which also explains the white background & the little note at the end.

Nikon P7000

Initially wanted to buy Canon G12, but when i check with Andrew, he says Canon has the trademark of "lens black-out" after 2 yrs, so he recommend Nikon P7000 cos it's comparable to Canon G12. Carol on the other hand recommended Lumix LX-5

tru Andrew's recommendation, Carol & myself went down to TK foto at Funan to take a look at the cameras. Price shown on display is $659 but they quoted $645 (with 1x8GB SD card + camera case)

Carol then brought me to her friend's shop at lvl5 cos tt shop sells mainly Nikon cameras. Her friend also quoted $645, but the way he speak, damn "haolian" lor.. when Carol ask him abt Nikom P7000, his reply was:

"I won't sell you that camera cos it's a very lousy camera. It's just copying Canon G12. If you want to buy, you buy lor.. then u prepare to throw away.. if u ask me, i will sell u a DSLR lor" 

*think i dumb arh? DSLR more expensive mah.. but i dun wan to get one now!

When he say that, some customers actually turned their heads & look at us lor.. ...make me look like a stupid idiot lor.. tmd!!!!

ok lor, since you're not interested to sell, i also dun wanna buy from u!

Of cos everyone has different reviews/likes/dislikes on camera, but i would rather hear frm a photographer then a seller. So we went back to TK foto & comparing Canon G12, Nikon P7000 & Lumix LX-5, my final decision is still Nikon P7000. 

anyway, here's the pix of my new toy..
