went to jurong point for lunch and ended up at crystal jade again.
the last time i was there for lunch, i dropped my 6 month old sony cybershot t-100 and now that i’m there again for lunch, i decided to get a new camera for myself.
sony’s cybershot t-300 was my first choice, love the design, love the sleekness, love the huge lcd panel, love the touchscreen functions but the photo quality was rather poor. the price was also lowered to $599 by $100 since it was launched which could mean a new model is on its way anytime soon.
my next choice was the titanium plated cybershot w-300. at 13.6 mega pixel, it’s an overkill even for me but i love the feel of the camera, light yet solid and the design is nice too. a little high on the price at $799 but comes with a free cheapo photo printer.
last on my list was the canon 960is which also has a titanium body. design is nothing comparable to the 2 sony cybershots but the pictures were top notch.
after much consideration, i decided to go for the canon ixus, photo quality should be placed above camera design.
here’s a picture of it
at $699, the package comes with 2×4gb sd card, 2 batteries, 1 screen protector, 1 photo printer (worth $250), 1 free casing, 1 free usb memory card reader and a travel kit that contains a travel bag, a tripod and a cleaning kit.
i’ve actually no use for the printer so i sold it off to a colleague at $100 which means i only paid $499 for the camera.
worth it!
