This Must Be The One

Sony DSLR-A900

This must be the camera I need to replace the old one I have.  This is way too robust than my compact digital camera but way too better than that.  I’ve had used three different digicams and all of those have had a short battery life which is annoying when it stops working in the middle of my photography sessions.  I know I can’t carry this in my handbag unlike the compact one but I don’t mind it hanging from my neck, lol!  I’ve always wanted to hone my passion for photography and I think the best way to achieve it is to have a camera with better standards.

But the not so inviting info on this camera is the price.  A staggering SEK31.000!  Hohooo!  I shouldn’t spend my salary for two months but that would be impossible.  If I save and by the time I get the whole amount saved the camera would probably be outdated.  *Sigh*  Should I look for a cheaper one instead?

    Wow, fren, I should check that Pentax. Mukhang mas mura kesa dito sa Sony.

    Photography is all about clicking moments no matter you have digital or professional camera.

    Hobo, thanks for the boost. I’m becoming an “update” silly girl, that’s why I think of new as new and old as old. :-)

    This is a pretty good camera, my friend recently ended up buying a Canon EOS Rebel XS 10.1mp DSLR with the works.

    Joey, CANON is always a good choice, too, other than Sony. I have Canon Powershot G7 and it works perfectly fine. I can live with it if I can’t buy this one, hehee!

    Shanker, you must have a high pixeled mobile cam. Mine has only 3.2 so it’s not enough quality.

    Ana, ok din ang Canon or Nikon. Nakakadala na kasi ang maliit dahil sa papalit palagi ng battery. Hahaa! Pasta at ketsup, nakakain ako nito sa preschool dito.

    Me, I can’t rely on my camera as it only has 3.2 megapixel, not enough to take at a distance. I don’t know if hubby will go for this camera, quite expensive talaga.
