More than a year after my first point-and-shoot camera
became useless; I finally gave in and bought a new one. It’s still a similar
brand and model to my old one but, a higher version with an affordable price. I was actually looking for a cam that would still
allow me to use my battery packs from my old cam (because those battery packs are
pretty expensive). Unfortunately, the latest model that can allow me to use
them is way beyond my budget. I have to stick to the budget or suffer the
consequences. J
I think this is the first time that I exercised reason over
emotion when it comes to buying not-so-important things. Although I know that
deep down, I really want the camera that I could use my old battery packs with;
I also know that my interest in electronic things can easily fade. So, I congratulate
myself for sticking to the original budget! J
Although my new camera only has a 180-degree sweep panorama,
I still liked it. And during the first 15 minutes spent tweaking it, I also had
fun with the partial color effect feature. This feature got my interest six
years ago but, it was not readily available in affordable point-and-shoot cameras. (I guess this makes my new cam outdated…hehehe) I
envied those who have cams with this feature. But, I’m thankful I did not give
in to that emotion because I realized it’s one of the things that’s only interesting
when I don’t have it. J
Here are my first few shots using the partial color effect:
