my New Camera- a birthday present i get for myself

it's my birthday in about 2 weeks time. and i thought it would be nice to get something for myself this year. :P

as the 5-year old camera submitted its resignation letter and showed protest through some malfunctioning, I decided that it is time for it to get some rest.. so goodbye to my Sony Cybershot and hello to my new Panasonic Lumix FS6.
Life without a camera just does not feels right. Everytime i come across a scene or moment in life that is worth capturing, i find out that my old camera is no longer usable. and i am the type who loves to take pictures.

Having zero idea of the digital camera market and how the nowadays camera has evolved to, (i just know that there's 14 M.P. now.. SLR/DSLR probably..) I thought doing a little survey would help. Although i would really love to get a SLR/DSLR, but i have a limited budget. therefore i looked for digital camera priced within the range of RM600. (I am not rich, so.. will settle for this range for now)
I went around some malls to do my survey on digital cameras, comparing the functions and such. At long last, i came to this store in 1 Utama.. after making some comparison between Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and Canon, i decided on Lumix (with 2GB SD card free).
well, there's no need to tell me that i can get a better price elsewhere. I just happen to go to 1 Utama with my family, and just happen to go to this electrical store, and so on the spot i decided to buy there and then. coz i am the type of person who prefer to save the hassle, who prefer not to get to some malls somewhere which is situated quite a distance away, just to get a price that is 50 ringgit cheaper. (if there is any, haha. oh wait, maybe there is.)

I simply love this camera that i get. For one, it is light and is not as big in size when i compare it to other models of other brands (within the budget) and also those in the Lumix series. and... i know i am not a PINK person, well, i am not. but somehow, the lack of PINK in my life seems to get a bit bored so i decided that welcoming a little bit of PINK into my life is not a bad thing at all. (i am more of a WHITE/RED person, depends on my mood of the day.)

FS6 seems to come along with some features that i am not so familiar with..

• features a 2.7” LCD screen
• equipped with iA mode
• Face detection & Intelligent Scene Selector
• MEGA O.I.S.
• Leica DC Vario-Elmarit zoom lens
• Photo Title naming

i'll get familiar with it in no time i guess. coz i love gadgets! love to explore gadgets, especially. hehe
and so, here it is.. my PINK Lumix FS6. ^__________^

I will make sure it will be well taken care of and live a long and respectable years ahead. xD

and below are some 1st pictures taken using the new camera.. :P not some quality pictures but normal pictures of normal people like my family and my neighbour. hehe
