My first D-SLR



I promised myself not to be emo or moody today, and I did it! The reason is so obvious and yes, it's related to the picture above! I finally owned a D-SLR!!! So when there is a happy and exiting news floating around you, why do I need to feel sad or moody right?

Actually I was not expecting for it so soon, and I always thought I will only get it after I start working so I can get myself a good one. Since I might be going to further my studies in Adelaide (Australia) next year, I told my mom that I might need a new compact digital camera since we only have one at home.

2 weeks ago, mom suddenly asked me about D-SLR and told me to search for one with the budget given less then 2k. So how am I suppose to get a good one, even to get a normal D-SLR, less than 2k is hard to find, I thought. But then I happened to find this model, Sony D-SLR α230 selling at RM 1800.

Talked to the promoter. She recommended me 2 different models. Either the one I mentioned earlier or Canon EOS 1000D for RM 2100. After long hesitated, I decided to go for Canon.

Had breakfast with my family this morning, and mom suggested to go to the shop to have a look at the camera. Today, after knowing I wanted Canon and after a long bargain with her, dad decided to take Canon EOS 500D.

So yea, me and my new D-SLR! Am happy with it and would like to learn more about it too! Let's have a D-SLR mamak session! Provided I managed to get a permit to leave the Kingdom from the King and Queen.
