i guess it is just my luck to
go a couple of rounds
before i settle with
what i have always been
wanting for in the first place
it has been a long way
gosh i finally got my new camera
during the last day of 2015
my good old
not really that good
Lumix Lx5 has been with me
since Feb 2011
at least 10 overseas trips
during Christmas 2013
was too obsessed snapping
the Yellow Duck at Keelung
and water actually got into the camera
since then
the lense is a little
unreliale under bad weather conditions
such as a misty day, low light and
obviously during the night scene too
i guess he is pretty much
like his owner, at times
Spring, 2014
i ended up with the entire album of
West Lake with such quality
isn’t that a little disappinted
night scenes which
go like that
those were the time
i would rather take out my camera
yet
i didn’t replace it
and kept using for the past 2 years
since it is still pretty reliable
during good weather conditions
with plenty of sun
when i first started my research
can’t remember when
must be since 2014
Fujifilm has always been
on my list
but back then
i was lost in my own
research trying to compare
so many models and ranges
under the X-series
like seriously
but that means good news
because i am definitely not
ready to buy the X100
i have always been hearing of
even for the X100 itself
they have X100T and X100S
so it was abandoned
over and over again
until recently
back then during Oct
when i had two
back-to-back trips
i was seriously considering
replacing my camera
yet once again
lost in my own research
even for camera
comparison and review sites
gosh there are so many
and given such a great difference
in scores for a particular model
i doubt some of them are even
reliable and trustworthy
it is not something new, though
paid/sponsored review
i am not really sure
yet given the gap
i am sure there is
and went on to
personal blogs
some were sponsored posts too
obviously..
it was mentioned so for some
but i just wanna
take a look at the
image qualities
so during the 2 months
some of the choices on my lists
are Fujifilm X-series
but completely lost on which one
Panasonic Lumix Lx100 or Gx7
Sony alpha 5100 or 6000
Canon G7X or G9x
so while getting my
nano sim card replaced
i actually walked by
the stretch of camera stores
was actually telling my dad
i have had the models in mind
would grab it online
but anyway that will be
in 2016 since
it sounds a little scary to
replace both my
pohone and camera
within barely a week
then i saw the tiny little store
previously not noticing it
because it was sandwiched
between a bigger chain store
at the corner and a Sony store
it looked tiny
because the “width” does portray so
yet in facts it is the largest
among the three
what really attracted me
to walk in was
they got the entire Fujifilm X-series
displayed right in front
wow!! impressive
like i wouldn’t have
if they were displaying the
entire range of Fujifim Instax range
especially the cat-like huge thingy
so i was in
and the guy in white xperia polo tee
he was the store manager, then
actually walked on to talk to us
i wanted to find a chance to escape
by asking him if
they have some catalogue
which i can refer to
and his replied was
these days we don’t go for catalogues
most will go online for details
lol
ok fine
i obviously sounded
very amateurish here
but i guess soon he did find out
i actually had done
my research back home
then i saw a6000 on display
and went on to ask about
the price for a5100
the price he offered
was not much different from
the one i surveyed online
and with the basic packages
and what?
hypermarket cash voucher
with the purchase of any Sony camera
then i went on to
hey look
i am walking further and further in
that’s no way i gonna escape
i guess
but hardwork is the best policy
a typical promoter would not usually
entertain someone like me
in dirty kicks and
my dad in bermuda shorts
but this guy over here
has got a different theory
he divulged later on
middle-aged men a.k.a. uncle
in bermuda shorts are the kind
who spend despite
they don’t look like they would
hello please
i am paying for my own camera
i corrected him
so i told him that
i was previously comparing
X30 and a3100
but he took a X-A2 from
the shelf instead
damn
when you put a5100 and X-A2
side by side
a5100 appeared to be so feeble
okay
i admitted that
one of the reasons
i have been mesmerized by
Fujifilm X-series is
due to the vintage design
and he did some demos
like snapping and comparing the
different sharpness
snapping the same objects
well
will definitely go for X-A2 then
and what
last day promotion
you will get a free tripod
if you buy and register online
by Dec 31
okay
i finally noticed this one
seriously didn’t see this
as i walked out a happy person
loaded with a new camera and phone
the only if you were to call it a
sacrifice i make is that
they run out of black colour
so i went for white instead
but it looked black still
with the PU half case
the brown and silver combination is
beyond description
i just don’t know how to
okay
so both my phone and camera
are ready for 2016
yet to name them
but definitely something related
as both of them are
officially born on the same day
Dec 31, 2015
i thought i would have
dicth phyiscal store for
online retailers
yet walking into a store
and speaking to someone professional
did help me in making the right choice
i hope it is and
got to learn some
common knowledge and
“insider’s secrets”
e.g.
our medicated oil
a.k.a. the Axe oil
works for cleaning stain
on white leather
well i don’t mind
getting my camera stained
the more it is
the merrier it is
ha i will use that
for my Stan Smith then
like for my phone
at first i set out to
look for any alternatives
other than an iPhone
yet i finally go back to iPhone
the same goes to the camera
as i went on to research for
any camera similar to Fujifilm X-series
which is more handy and light
and i was telling my manage
the decision for a
camera / phone / both
would be settled if
you give me 5,000 MYR
no more struggle
indeed!
yet i spent another 200 MYR
on top of that budget
for a multi-coat lense protector
seriously i never know that
the tiny little thing
costs that much
it is like you top up
a 10% for an insurace package
would be glad to
go on a point and shoot session
it has been raining and raining
since last year
seriously
reliablity, design, functions
not forgetting the
fanciful features such as
180’ tilt selfie camera
wifi connection just to
pretend to be uploading
images of amazing quality
from your phone
*dodgy face*
as i just factory reset my phone
this is actually my img_0001
from my phone
let them live happily ever after
for the rest of the days
they spend together as my
travel cum daily companions
why a factory reset
obviously some shit happened..
