Recent Wish List :- Ricoh R8

My family FIRST dc long long time ago actually was Ricoh product!!

its quality was not good esp. compare w/ those rite now on mkt.

appearance was super ugly, better say is super 7,

as this brand ALWAYS does!!

the look is very similar to this (but i can't rem is it exactly this model) :-

yet, i was impressed by its Macro &
still think ricoh hs the best/top-tier Macro quality!!

getting bored w/ my FZ-20 after 3 yrs, last yr i was blowing water
that i would buy Ricoh Caplio R6 & then said would buy R7....

R6


R7

though after trying them.....um....was so far so gd lah~
i.e. extremely NOISY!!!!


well~ should say i'm "規格控"~!!

portable DC with 7.1x is soooooo attractive to me~

though u guys should know mi techno-freak hv already bought a
extremely crazy HEAVY toyz~

R8 is now in my wishlist!!!!!!



R8 upgrade :
1/ outfit
2/ config

My situation :
- with the new toy but NO nice short focal length lens rite now...
selling my 12x F2.8 = downgrade foto quality
- oversea trip w/ new toyz seems crazily heavy lor.....um.....

Dilemma :
1/ buy a nice lens & sell my luvly 12x 2.8
then wait R8 (any other DCs) price drop & "in hand"
= $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

2/ keep the 12x & do nth!!
= SAVE $!!!!

Conclusion :
Wish list priority #1 should be - get rich ASAP lah!!!!!!!!!

o i broke my awesome light Minolta some times ago, and can not decide if I should go for the prosumer Panasonic models (10 or 12x optical, with the lens propped out from the machine), or DSLR level....

worse, i need to make decision soon since I will have two trips in coming months....

oh...ur old minolta is 12X that light prosumer series ah?? i think u hv to decide by considering the way u use the camera lah~

actually i bought a DSLR & super heavy lens this month, but that combo main purpose is for concert shooting~ (u un ga lah)

yet, for causal usage, i think nice quality DC is much better~!!

if ur tripz juz play play, taking big head foto & not decide to take landscape foto that serious, i think DC is fine!!!

my grandma using Lumix 3X DC, foto in Greek r very nice!!

if u consider prosumer, currently is 18X already; those propped out lens one really ng dim gah....i tried so many model, 光圈太細,zoom遠左dd already好鬼暗!yet, i would suggest entry level DSLR kit instead. Abt the SAME price & LIGHT enuff.

DSLR might consider :
Sony A200/300 (2 lens kit set combo is competitive pricing but general sony lens is expensive!!)

Nikon D40/x [D60 coming] (i won't consider this particular nikon model as it needs EXPENSIVE lens...etc)

Canon 400d (450d is coming but price is a but higher & duno if it releases b4 ur trip or not)

Olympus & Pentax quality not bad but a bit more diff to buy lens & resell in HK 2nd hand mkt.

p.s. for all kind of cam, juz dun buy casio & samsung is OK!!!

I used the DC in construction sites for record taking and I broke it when I dropped it to the ground, moving my body out from a car back to the office. (luckily, now I use iFon to take those photos.)

From discuss.com
>>400D 18-55 Kit ~ $4,680.-
OK wor less than HKD5000.

I have no interest in girl head shooting (unless what comparable to EDC's ^.^) and want more in landscape.

what is the expected release day of Canon 450D? My second trip leaves in early April.

i think for construction sites, i dun think ur personal DC/DSLR is gd wor~ sure "flower hard" lah!!!!

release date of 450D seems March, but it's "much more" exp than 400d wor~!!

why the system ate my comment...>.<

I am going to buy 400d in March. Any good shop to recommend? OK to help go buying this new toy with me?

Vienne Ng 說...

coz i concern the price of 40d, i know the approximate price of 400d only~ but very easy to find it in forum lah~ no prob!

when u wanna buy, u msn/msg me lah~!! xD
