Ava club celebration at Orchid Park Condo.. Erm.. 1st time havin this kinda celebration cum gathering not bad la.. but abit dead and boring.. gotta improve on tt..lolz.. since it's the 1st year it should be smth proud of for those who rendered effort for tis celebration. Anyway, i went off pretty early la, so nv eat anything or play any games in the evening and night. So went there 3hrs in total, from 2-5. haha. Guys went for swimming pool de games, so only captured UHN(upper half naked) guys. Better not post. =) Later i tio beaten up.

Brought Canon 500D at MS Colour in the evening. Nice photos, great noise reduction, other than tt everything looks similar and works the same way as the 450D. HD movie recording sux though, but tt's not the main aim i am looking for anw. So not tt kind of sian diao. And yes, 15.1Mp, great for making large prints, photo competitions, and greater ease of cropping photos to a smaller size tt still reach the desire resolution..

One bad thing, file size damn big. Higher ISO, larger file size.
Can go up to 8MB when ISO reaches 12800. Even though such situations of using high ISOs are extremely rare.

Kinda unpleasent experience at the MS colour (AMK hub). Saw some comments @ clubsnap abt their 'pek chek' and act clever attitude at HUB and proven to be correct today. I was like asking the ISO expansion capability when he asked me with tt kind of hao lian look"需要那么高做什么？" Shit you. Asking not equals to "will use it" rite? I'll accept if you tok to me in a helpful way, but u give me tt kinda look? Puke. Close shop la. I think he is like thinking: teenage nia, wont buy one. lolz..

Ok, back from my hot temper. MS colour quoted S$1250, inclusive GST at both the HUB and Blk 711. Tt's like alot cheaper than tt $1399 at courts.

Had our dinner at S11, beside tt MS colour main outlet. But before tt we went and ask for the prices. Their service and attitude between this two stores differ by donno how many megametres. Blk 711 de very polite, allow me to test the cameras for a long time without toking and distract me. =) Thumbs up!~ Before leaving, she offered her namecard somemore. But then she abit niao(1) , cannot lower price one. Chey!

Back from our dinner, we asked again, this time round looking for florence(lady boss). One guy immediately know tt i must have done tt eqoute. So he asked "EQOUTE AR?" lolz..

But luckly got make tt e-quote thingy. E-quote de price is $1240, cheaper by $10. I tend to believe equote more 划算 anw. They admit lowering prices in equotation deliberately.
Tried different models, Sony A500, Canon 500D, Nikon D5000 (All happen to have the number "5" in their model no. haha!) Nikon is 1st out of my sight cos its the worse among all 3 models(i believe). Both the Sony A500 and canon 500D are difficult to decide.

Sony sort of appeals me more than canon at 1st, due to it's tilt screen, 5fps, solid built and excellent grip. But she(tt "saleswoman". not tt boss cos she went home liao.) quoted me a price tt is not according to equote de (told you she very "niao"(1)"), so it's like not worth it lor.)
Furthermore she kept on pursuading on sony, cos she wearing sony ma. I guessed she can get commision from it. tt's y.. Or hu noes?
Maybe sony is really better.. but no regrets actually, cos both equally good to me. I think Canon better in terms of processor and screen (920k dots vs 230k dots on sony). Haiz.. nvm. Buy liao just hope the SRP(suggested retail price) will continue to stay at $1399. Better still. Stay at this price forever. =) I usually hate seeing prices going down immediately after buying it. Like knife piercing though my heart, u see?

$1235 after hard negiotation. Comes with LCD protector, UV filter, EOS Bag, User Guide Book, 8GB SD, free 2-hr course and free 50mm f/1.8 lens. Haiz.. very tired liao.. gotta go sleep.. nights ppl~
