tech talk
after reading about the newest addition to the Canon IXUS series, the 7.1 MP SD500, on the comp magazine my dad orders, my urge to get a new and better digital camera returned... not that my V2 is bad or anything... it has served me pretty well the past 3 yrs... but i feel like splurging on a new dig cam now that i am slightly more into taking pics... =P and so went down with dad to Sim Lim Square... but nearly every shopowner recommended a different camera to me, ranging from Pentax Optio to Konica Minolta cameras.... when obviously Canon IXUS series cams are one of the best compact cameras around (according to the many online user reviews i've been reading) which makes me wonder how honest these dealers are? are they all trying to cheat my money.. promoting the less popular models to me, such that i will buy a model that is more difficult to sell... since without even trying to promote Canon IXUS cameras customers come in demanding them? hmmm after reading the reviews and seeing some cams for myself today, i wonder if i should switch loyalties and purchase the Panasonic Lumix FX8 that's pretty good and chio and has a huge LCD screen... instead of the Canon IXUS SD 400 which i know i'll prob like...
