We absolutely love this (expensive) toy
I have been thinking of getting a mean machine for a few years now. For the past year or so, I love my Sony T100 but I think it is time....
At the Sitex Fair, I got a good deal for this camera which comes with a lot of freebies. I was wavering between the Canon and the Nikon but Nikon won me over. Like what many would agree, good photography is a matter of the lens, not the camera. I think the Nikon lens on the D60 is cool. When you hold it and take the first click, it is just an EXPERIENCE. I don't get that with the Canon. Besides the service at the Canon counter just sucks. They were trying so hard to undermine Nikon. When I asked what are their strengths against the Nikon, the salesman arrogantly whipped out this file and showed me a list of Nikon "flaws". He added, "You want made in Thailand? Then buy Nikon." Man, he should go for some attitude review.
I had wanted the D40 but it was sold out...anyway it is ok, cos it is a 2 year old camera already. I don't know all about the photography jargon but I know this is a cool camera. When TS knew I bought it, he said, "okay, you can take over the Sony now." Over my dead body...I will paste some hello kitty stickers on it.

Nice toy... I've got a canon. Like canon cos it is everywhere, easier to maintain. Plus, my idiot proof camera was also a canon. But I have seen quite a lot of people using Nikon... so I guess it should be a good expensive toy.
Enjoy clicking away.
TS is funny haha. Nice photo! What horrible service at the Fair..eeew.
Hi Wendy, canon is a good camera too! My sister is a faithful follower of the canon and it has been great.
TS is always like that haha! The "serious" me tend to miss his flat jokes.
Photos... photos... quick quick... show the photos taken by your mean mean machine.
Hi Wendy, what's your blog address?
