Exploring my knack (feel na feel ko naa koy talent haha; feeling lang) in photography was made possible by hubby’s enduring support of my always-finding-something-new-to-do self. We purchased a high-end point and shoot camera a few months ago. I rejected the urge to buy a DSLR because I thought it was overly ambitious to abruptly shift from digital compact camera to DSLR. Aside from the fact that I wasn’t sure if I really have the ability to take awesome photos, there is a $400-500 price difference from what I wanted as well. Hence, we settled for a Canon Powershot S5 IS.
For a moment, I thought I made the right decision but to my dismay, I humbly admit my regrets for not listening to D’s opinion (he should have insisted harhar). I mean yes, it’s a really good camera but after discovering my flair (trying hard) in taking photos, I’ve wanted to do more. My present camera is a disappointment already because of its limited features. If I will sell this in TradeMe (counterpart of ebay in US), I will probably lose around $300 because it’s 2nd hand already. Money spent and lost equals a new DSLR **sigh** if I only listened to hubby…well, lesson learned hehe =D
Now, I’m drooling for Nikon’s entry level D60 that hubby believes I’ll get tired again sooner because of its inadequate features (again?). He is suggesting that I’ll get the mid-level D80 and I sooo get his point therefore I concur; no more qualms about it hehe. But with its whopping price, I feel quite silly to splurge for my hobby and so I am unwearyingly waiting for the price to go down as Nikon just released its new version – the new and improved kickass D90. I wonder when it will be available here in NZ. Perhaps two years later waaaahhhh I hope not! Please lang!
As of now, I’m fidgeting to jump on the DSLR bandwagon…hmmmm patience, patience, please abound =D
