My New Camera

I like photography. I received my first own camera during my first year in university. At that time, no digital camera was in the market yet. All we knew was film camera. This camera was given by my uncle to me. It was my first time has to leave my family and study at another piece of land, so I planned to have a camera that can capture nice scenes to send back to my family. When my uncle knew that I want to buy a camera, he gave me his camera. It was my first prosumer camera. I had no chance to capture this camera. This camera had being with me for 3 years. I had taken a lot of photo during those days and spent a lot of money because of film and produce the photo. Year 2001 later, digital camera starts getting more popular. However SLR camera was not porpula, and the quality of the picture taken was very poor.
In year 2003 end of the year (around November) I decided to by my first digital camera. It was my final year in University. I get pay from my part time job. Due to the demand on the functionality of the camera and price range of the camera, I had make decision to choose prosumer camera. I had spent more than 2 month time to do survey on the functionality and price of the prosumer camera. From hundred type of camera with different brands, I finally decided on Olympus and Panasonic. I spent quite some time on this model especially Olympus ultra zoom series and of course at the end I bought my Olympus C-750。



For my pass for year, I had been used this camera to take a lot of nice picture. Last year a month before I went to Cambodia trip, some problem occurs on my camera – the memory card was spoiled. I did go to a lot of camera shop even Olympus support center to buy the memories card and they told me the card was no more in the production. Luckily I went to one shop in the One U and get the card. From that, I decide to buy myself a new camera – DSLR. For few month searches in the web and study on the functionality of the camera, finally I come to canon and Nikon. It is not easy to make decision in between two type of camera which provides almost equivalent functionality. Both of them have their own pro and con.


Finally I make and decision, Canon 40D with 2 lenses 15-55 IS and 55 – 250 IS. Cost me a lot, but to me it worth with the price. The technology behind the model was not as simple as what normal camera is.
