I've been thinking of getting a new camera. My previous Olympus camera is not really functioning well anymore. It doesn't seem to be able to detect the battery. Not battery problem. I've checked it with other batteries. Even when you've charged the battery full, the camera still says that the battery power is empty. Though, sometimes, when you repeatedly insert the battery, maybe shift/turn the battery around a little, the camera powers on alright, and guess what, the battery meter is full! This is frustrating though, because you'd need to fiddle with the battery a little each time you wanna take a shot, and by then, the 'moment' is probably gone.
Finally, I got myself a new camera. A Canon Powershot S95. Cool and compact. Haha. It has a focal length of 28 - 105mm (35mm film), slightly wide, but not too wide. The optical zoom is only 3.8x; it won't do if you want to zoom in on very far subjects. But it has a focal ratio of as low as f/2.0, which makes it good to use for low-light conditions. Plus, it offers full manual control.
I bought it at Low Yat Plaza when I visited KL. Definitely cheaper there than many other places. I went to Ipoh the other day, but the price is higher. I'd like to put a few pictures of my new camera here, but since I don't have another good camera to shoot with, I guess I can't. Using a phone camera won't do justification either. So, maybe another time then.
