That's it! I'm saving for Canon A400!

I excogitated, and decided that I doesn't want to buy Nokia N90 because the phone is too expensive. Rather, I'm going to save up for Canon A400; it wasn't an impromptu decision.

The Canon A400 is considered quite old since it came to the market around August 2004. I had consulted my a friend of mine, Kelvin, who was a professional photographer studying in Singapore Management University. I had asked him which camera is cheap and good; I'm a student, and he recommended Canon A400.

I decided do some research on the camera and found out that it had been given good reviews. To know more about it you can check out : http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_a400-review/ It's a useful site. Besides, I have a good computer and a Canon printer, so that should be a good combination right? However there were some problems like batteries dying out fast etc, but since I've got rechargable batteries, that shouldn't be a problem. Here are some pictures of Canon A400:

Perhaps, when you're reading this post, you may be asking 'But why do you need a camera?' Well, I'll answer it simply.

1. My family doesn't have a digital camera besides my paternal aunt. But her's cost more than $1000. Too expensive for me to handle.

2. For my birthday and the graduation high tea. I wouldn't want to regret not taking photos as many of my peers are leaving after 'N' levels and others who are graduating soon. I will miss them!

3. It's a good investment, I could use it for holidays and outings as well.

4. For my blog. My Nokia 6230 phone's camera is really bad. The quality is mediocre. So it's best for a digital camera.

5. Lastly, to feed my narcissism! Haha! Jokes aside, it's also a matter of time before we need a digital camera anyway.





I have decided to save up enough money for it. I've checked the price from the internet for Singapore. People said they bought the camera at Sim Lim Square for around $250-$280. I went to Hougang Mall's Harvey Norman just now to check about the price of the camera. To my surprise, they said it wasn't available! Maybe they considered it obsolete? Duh. I hope to buy it after the 'N' level examination finishes or around the holidays. I'm hoping the price will continue to plummet so I can buy it even cheaper. I'm going to save more than $300 (If I can) for a 256 SD MMC card to store photos.


Wish me luck for my ever dying preserverance!


Ahh, before I forget, have a great day for Mid-Autumn Festival! Gobble up mooncakes! Quick!
