Camera Dilemma?

If you look at the timestamps of most of my blog posts, you might realise that most of my blog posts would be done after 12:00a.m. I don't know whether this is normal, but I think it's because I usually only update my blog after I lie down on the bed and realise I can't sleep.


Anyway, Sorry, no pics yet, coz I haven't received the pics taken during our trip for a certain 'Someone', who's hard to get, and seems to have gone for a 'vacation' at the moment.


So, after coming back from the trip, what have I been doing? Frankly, nothing much, except eating leftover lamb chops for the last few days, replenishing my sleeping hours that I lost during the 3 days before and on the trip itself, and lastly boring myself once again with this laptop and wandering up and down my house (no, my house ain't big, but when you get bored to some extent.....)

And for the last 3 days, today counts too (it's past 12am), I've been busying myself with something new...... Hunting for Cameras..... erm well..... hunting using the internet.

It's been a long time I've wanted a camera, and I was always fickle whether should I get a Video Camera, or a Camera. Video, photo, video? photo? which?? Well, to explain why I like videos is too long a story for you to read, and to explain why photos are precious aren't needed.... but anyway, lately, I finally decided I'd get a Camera (for Photos I mean)

Knowing the person I am..... I ain't satisfied with the latest 10 Mega Pixel RM1,399 Sony DSC W-300 that everyone would want if they could afford (well, I wouldn't mind one if you gave it to me for free):





But then again, I craved for something MORE..... something more "at the heart of the image", something "like.no.other"...... So after a long full-time 1 day's hunt. I came down to 2 decisions.


01. Sony DSLR A350





02. Nikon DSLR D40X (2nd Hand from Norman)

Am I going overboard?? Hmm, I hope not... I trust that my few years of consumer digital camera photography has given me enough experience to handle something new.... something that I could fully utilize it's ability. Even after going into BTech (my current studying course), I just can't seem to take my mind off Film and TV Production and it's related fields.....

Well, after yet ANOTHER full day's (today) of weighing the angels and demons within these 2 cameras..... I have still not yet come to a conclusion.

Anyway, I might be shopping around tomorrow to check out the prices for both cameras and future accessories that I might need. So much for today's post. I ought to get some sleep now.
