You know the thing about camera? Technology just upgrade upgrade and upgrade, but your camera just don't die in time for you to change.
My computer dies like 5 times, disposed off like 3 mp3 players, 2 handphones and a few electronics at home like the DVD player and such. Their remains probably burnt, return to earth and being reproduced already the camera just don't die.
I have like 3 working ones at home, the oldest being the film camera which I suppose is about my age, no zoom at all.
But being a tech slave and self proclaim photography lover can't stop myself from looking for newer better ones when they are still working. Because I have to admit that the 12x optical zoom is actually shit.
No, not into SLR thingy, but I like compact cameras that can do wonders like manual focusing and changing exposure yada yada yada, example like the over publicised Nex5, or Panasonic LX5 or Canon S100. That kind.
I have played with Canon, its... good, but the dials are not that convenient, you probably shift the focus way off before you set to the desired settings.
Anyway, I was Googling for Panasonic GF3 which was like sitting at the counter top at Best Denki with "Special Price" around, it will still burn my bank a/c, and I found this.
He is, I suppose from Hong Kong, and he speaks like the Britain Top Gear host whom my bro likes.
Anyway, he did reviews the way I like, comparing similar camera and their outcome side by side. Fascinating. And I fall in love with his Leica M! But I last checked few hours ago its going at SGD 33000. CRAZY. No typo, its 5digits, no decimals.
So I continue with the other reviews, I was checking the GF3 and OUT, then next was the Canon G1 X which I was attracted my the swirving screen, its totally bimbotic to buy for that screen, OUT.
Then the Panasonic GX1, it is pretty cool! It has manual focus like Iphone which you touch and it focus. Imagine if I'm able to use that for my favourite Chrysanthmums back in Taiwan, I will die with less regret now.
But still I don't have the funds to play with such luxury yet. And there are the Pentax and Nikon I have yet to check out yet. I still can't get over the Leica.....

Alright prepare for bed and dream of owning a Leica.
