Digital Camera

It’s a “bit late” to tell you guys but I have actually bought a digital camera. Actually I have been surfing the net and finding information in regards to the best compact 7 mega pixels camera. I have actually narrow down to 2 models. The first one is Canon Ixus 700 which cost around RM1899, 7.1 mega pixels and the second one it’s the Casio Ex-Z750 a 7.2 mega pixels cost around RM1799.

Canon is a more established brand which has a good range of lens. I have a cannon SLR rebel XT which I have bought 4 to 5 years ago, its still working fine. I have a few friends which uses Canon Digital camera and they have not much complains. My wife uses the Casio Exilim 3.2 mega pixels which we have bought 2 to 3 years ago. It’s quite a robust slim little machine. My wife has dropped it once and it’s still working. Quality wise it’s acceptable but nothing to shout about.

On last Saturday morning, I actually woke up a bit early to surf the net to do the last minute survey. I have visited quite a number digital camera sites. Most sites actually lean towards Casio Ex-Z750, although most did not actually put it down explicitly except for one site. Most sites pointed out that there are 2 weaknesses. The first is the flash, it’s a weak flash it has less than 40 percent of the canon Ixus 700 range. The second is that the colour is too sharp and saturated. This could be rectified by adjusting the default settings.

In the afternoon, my wife and I went to Low Yat as there is a fair on digital camera. We went straight to the Casio counter and get hold of the Z750 and we ask them how much they can lower their price. As usual they say cannot as they have actually bundled in the 512 Mb SD card and other free gifts. If I choose not to take the 512 Mb, then they can lower it down to RM1650. They bundle in a screen protector and a mini tripod also. So I used my normal way of bargaining, I said “If you could give me Rm50 discount including the SD card and all the freebies, I would immediately take out my card and swipe”.

I went back to my house with the Casio Ex-Z750 and below are some photos that I took using it. I have yet to adjust the settings.

This is the camera box together with all the free gifts.

This is the view from my house, evening view ready for sunset.

High Court, I find this a bit unreal. I guess really need to adjust the saturation settings.

I love this angle, with the clouds...
