My New Camera

Finally without making any further comparison in term of pricing with other shops as well as in term of functionally with other model, we decided to go for this!

Canon IXUS 80 IS.
- 8 mega pixels

- 3 optical zoom
- 4 MB SD card
- Tripod (to be collected later)

We pay half of our old unit price and we are able to have this model of camera. We chosen pink casing as we find it so sweet, cool and Audrey loves this colour very much. I tried it out immediately and find the photos are in superb good quality. Proof as below.

As I expected, my hubby will spend at least half a day to read through the manual booklet of the camera. He just likes to get used to the function of the camera that we might missed out without reading the manual. True enough, he keeps on reporting to me any new features or function that our formal unit doesn’t have. The most creative function he loves most is the “Color Swap” and “Color Accent” function that the new camera has. Please see below for more understanding.

Sample photo of color swap. The potty and small pail are originally red in color. We have chosen to swap from red to yellow. You won't know unless I tell. So with this special function, it gives you free hand to change the object color according to your preferences. You may choose to swap to any color you like before you capture the photo.

Whereas for color accent, it allows you to focus and snap only your choice of color from your object and make the rest colorless. Referring to the sample photos taken, focus was given to green (on the top) and blue (on the bottom) only. Amazing right!

Go get one if you think this unit is impressive.

Sourcing For New Camera

I noticed my Canon digital camera went missing only when I was looking for it to snap some photos of our ransacked house due to the recent break in.

Camera becomes important especially for blogger like us. Most of the times, photo can express better than any other words. We are too attached to camera nowadays. We snap every memorable moments of our life so that we are able to recall those memories one day with our next generations.

I still remember we bought this camera simply for a reason like other new parents have. We need a camera to snap our first lovely daughter, Audrey. So we got a Canon digital camera IXUS 40 when she was 3 months old. We used that camera to snap nearly four thousands photos. Even our young photographer also used it to capture some special angle that we didn’t pay attention to.

So, without any hesitation, we know we must buy a new one to replace the lost unit. Otherwise, we will not be able to snap my 2 little princesses. Question, which model and brand to be considered? There are too many models in the market with different resolution, functionality, price and promotion going on now? But in our mind, our first priority is still Canon brand. Reason being, our former unit was the same brand and we find it durable and easy to handle (in term of functionality). Secondly, we still keep the brand new battery we bought last few months.

I believe the price of digital camera now is much cheaper as compared to those days when we bought ours. With a lower price, we are able to get a higher mega pixels camera besides some new fantastic functions. Will let you know if we manage to grab any these few days.
