About To Be Disposed Of
There’s one precious possession that sooner or later I’ll be disposing of. Not that I’m getting tired of it. In fact, it’s my favorite red little thing that goes lightly in my hands and in my handbag. Hubby bought this three years ago when it was the latest in the market. Oh, how I fancied the color so much it would make me feel so girly. It has been serving me in my photography attemp for three years now. But the reason why I’m going to stop using my Konica Minolta Dimage X1 is that the battery life is becoming short. If I am not mistaken, this is the last compact camera that KM had produced. It didn’t obtain a remarkable review however, except the then modern and appealing design, the 2,5 LCD-screen, high pic resolution and the picture stabilisator.

I’ve noticed that the battery life has disappointed me in several occasions when it showed the red battery sign on the screen after using it for less than an hour. It usually sits on the dock station (charger) so it’s impossible I could use it without being fully charged. To buy a new compact digicam has been in my plan but I’m skeptical. I couldn’t be so sure as to quality, battery life, functions and other useful features. Think about how many names of digicams coming out every now and then. Each of them couldn’t have all the features I need. Because of the diminishing quality of my digicam, I’m forced to bring hubby’s Canon PS G7, which is a bit bigger and thicker than any compact digicam. I’d love to know which compact digicam that has better tech details is in the market or coming out soon.

hahaa! nagbibiro ka ba? Baka mas matibay pa yang camera mo diyan kesa dito. Itatapon mo lang din ito.
Mhy,
Actually gusto kong bumili nung Nikon D80. Medyo mahal pa kasi dito sa tin. In a few more months eh gusto kong magkaron ng photoblog dahil hilig ko talaga ang photography, among many things. Frustrated ako dito sa Cybershot 6MP ko. Nagamit ko na to sa business pero ang AA batteries ang problem. Laging palit nang palit. magastos sa maintenance.

Jess, ganyan din ang nangyari sa first digicam namin. Palit nang palit ng batteries. Talagang magastos.
The usual problem when the camera gets old Len. It’s nice to have new one hehe.

Sana nga, Joy. Kaso have second thoughts kung bibili uli ako ng compact digicam. Mas ok siguro yung sulit na cam na lang talaga for photography purposes. Mag-iipon muna ako, hehee!

Nagbabasa nga ako ng kung anong magagandang specs ng camera and with hubby’s help din. Marami na rin kasing murang digicam pero di naman natin nasisiguro ang quality nito. Hahaa! Ok na rin kung luma kung di naman gagamitin sa pang-prof na photographs.
I dream one day to buy the most expensive camera but remember its a dream.
Keep on dreaming, Hobo, hehee! It’s not bad to dream about the things we want.
Marlene, you should get a SLR to replace it! Hehehehe
