Snap Snap!

i have been looking for a new camera recently. something in the semi-pro range, between a compact and a DSLR. i'm a person that can't leave the house without a camera. i want to use the camera to snap pretty pictures of my life. my current camera is really good and working well, but i want a better one to take better photos. however, the thought of having to carry a DSLR around with me just puts me off, eventually, it'll just sit at home. i don't mean i dislike DSLR, in fact i love it. i'll still try to own one next time- when i start to travel a lot! :)

i was searching the web for semi-pro cameras, and initially i was thinking of cannon G11. it takes really good photos, but i didn't really like it at first sight, because it was ugly. couldn't bear to part with 800 bucks just to get that thing when i didn't love it.

i wanted to give up the thought of getting a new one, until i saw Leica D-LUX 4! i fell in love with it at first sight. i immediately search the web to find out more about this camera, and every single detail that i learnt about it makes me want to get my hands on it quicker! except for one, the price. it costs approximately 1300 singapore dollars. it's so expensive, i can totally get a good DSLR with that money.

but, because i love it too much... i've decided to save up for it! :)

anyways, today was spent with judith. :) the last time we saw each other was last year, we had plenty to catch up on, and it was fun. we had lunch at indochine in wisma, and tea break at tully's coffee in orchard central. it was my first time at orchard central, the building structure is so weird! but i thought that the shops are different from the other shopping centres. at least, they are not massively repeated.

judith and i went into one of the shops selling different types of film cameras. so nice, we like! and after listening to the sales person's explanation regarding each type of camera, both of us wanted to buy the Golden Half, it costs 90 bucks. it's really cute, and i like the fact that 2 pictures are squeezed onto 1. judith says she's going back soon to get it, but i'll just wait (i don't know for what).

well, the sudden urge to buy 2 cameras doesn't mean i'm trying to get into the whole photography kind of hobby. definitely, no! Leica D-LUX 4 is just to take nicer/prettier photos (but not to the photographer-type of extent) and Golden Half is just for the fun of it! :)
