A New Addition: Digital Camera
Finally, I got myself a digicam!! Yahooooo! It was so hard to decide between Canon Ixus 55 and Canon Powershot A610/A620. I want the speciality of both in one camera. I would love to play with the functions but I want convenience and style at the same time.
After much deliberation and playing around with both cameras for more than half an hour or even more, I finally decided to get Ixus 55. Why?
Because I guess I value convenience more compared to functionality and quality. The big enough reason I'm getting one at this juncture is also because I'm going for a holiday with my family. Thus, I guess I would want one which can capture the whole travel and be compact enough to be able to bring it everywhere so that I can record every single event.
Meanwhile, Powershot A610/A620 is bulkier. Really. Quite a big drawback actually. Imagine when you are packing for a holiday, you have to pack the battery charger and extra rechargeable batteries. In the end, the whole package just grows and by then you might need to find a big bag to keep all those, which might weigh a ton.
However, it is more ergonomical for long period of shooting. I prefer the feel of it, where when you are holding the camera, you feel that you can take really good pictures. And of course the additional benefits of fun playing with those shutter speeds and aperture wideness. And of course, it has better specifications, such as optical zoom and length of focus.
Well... as life have it, we have to choose, right?
So I finally made up my mind on Ixus 55. Even though Ixus 55 seems somehow less superior compared to powershot A610 in terms of functions, I guess I have to compromise for convenience's sake.
Anyway, the picture quality is good! The only drawback is that there's less experimentation and stuff to play with. Well, I guess I can get one of those higher end digital SLR later after I've mastered the compact digicam. Heheeeee..:D
