Letters from the Equator

Boon’s view from here

shopping for a digicam part 4

Part 4……. this goes to show you that I take years to shop for something. But you know, I’m getting there.

The FX-01 is here!!! It retails for RM1500 or thereabouts, and I can get the underwater housing on order, which will set me back about RM900. A friend of mine who works in Japan is looking to see if he can get it cheaper, which absolutely rocks since he’ll be back next month. Glee!

Just look at what this camera can do:

The output is surprisingly good for a compact camera. I especially like the colors. It looks almost photo-journalistic. Not overly saturated or processed, but a lot of detail. Just perfect.

Only question is…. when is the right time to buy it? argh!

Here are the galleries where I got the photos from:
