Olympus Shockproof and Waterproof - Mau beli :)

Assalaam aleykom WBT and Salam Sejahtera

Waaa... When I saw the commercial on TV, I said to myself... "Now... I can take pictures of fishes under the seas with this camera"

Lepas tu pulak, datang katalog Sen Heng, saying that the camera is going for RM1199 (Or was it RM1119...forget). I think it is a good deal :)

So, that night, I and my beautiful (Alhamdulillaah) wife, went to Carrefour, just to take a look at their price (since kitorang lagik familiar ngan Carrefour, and we already know how much Seng Heng is selling it for). Sampai2, je, after going through other tempting isles (namely cookware, Farhanah's kiddy DVD section and also barang2 rumah), we went to the nearest Digital Camera booth lah. We managed to get one of the 'tukang-jaga', and had a look at the camera.




Mula-mula, we were showed this one... I think....

But the color wasn't orange lah. We were shown a black one. We were a bit disappointed by the look and feel, because it seemed ... 'chikai' a bit (meaning cheap). But still, it had 1.5 meters shock proof, and could go 10meters under water (if I remember correctly). Hmmmm. Menarik jugak. Buleh amik gambo ikan ni. Hehehehehe (Always thinking about the fishies). This one was RM1199.

But after that, another, more senior, and seemingly more knowledgeable 'tukang-jaga-kedai' came to us, and showed the more expensive version.

RM1599 harga dia. Hmmmmm. I think it was this one. But from the olympus website, the specs don't say how deep the camera can go underwater. The first one I mentioned kat atas tu, I think betul la... 10 meters. But this one, the sticker at Carrefour stated like... 33 feet... Japs... 10 meters la tu. Hahahahaha!!! Ampes. Macam sama je specs dia. Mengkaburi mata pembeli dengan unit-unit metric dan americanos!!! Tapi takpe...

Anyway... we're still considering which one to buy. Might need to take another look, sebab first time tengok pun kitorang lebih kurang scan through saja. Now that we know there are different models... and that 33 feet is actually 10-meters (hehehe), we can insya-Allaah make a more sensible and intelligent decision.

But the concept is still neat. Shockproof and Underwater ready :) Two features I would really like for my digital camera :) Not that I am looking forward to capturing pictures of women in their swim wear at swimming pools >:) But considering that I am quite clumsy at times, and also due to the fact that I might be going fishing in a few months time... this camera would fit my bill really well.

My first digital camera btw, was a Panasonic Lumix... Cost me RM1.6k if I remember correctly. But that one, the zoom already rosak! Now the camera is ZOOMING without me asking it to! Maybe skru atau something kat dalam dah ter-patah... not that I dropped it or anything. It simply rosak-ed all of a sudden. Baruu nak amik gambar main snuker dengan John Labu....

Anywayz.... Itu lah cerita saya pada kali ini. Cerita pasal nak beli digital kamera. One reason though kenapa tak beli2 lagi... is sebab takdak duit! kekeke. Bila la UPM ni nak kasik DS45. Ish... polisi oh polisi UPM. Tapi takpe. Kang marah pulak sesetengah pihak bila cerita pasal polisi2 hampeh ni. Hehehehe. Annnywayz....

Mari kita ramai2 beli kemra yang sama ndak? Kot2 dapat diskaun dari Olympus?

PS:- If anyone has any handy tips on how to select a good digital camera, I would be more than happy to listen... or read or course :)

Sazly: Aku tak gemok sangat ikan pari. Tapi kalu dapat kalu, Alhamdulillaaah. Buleh buat bakar + makan ngan ayor asam ye dok. Kalau kekecik takpe, tak mati kot kena sengat. Jangan kena kat jantung macam Steveie udah. kesian dia ek. Aku ingat mati kena baham boya... nengok2 ikan pari yg takde kaitan ngan nama gelaran dia... btw, dia mati masa aku kat Sydney. Masa tu aku pon tatau dia mati...
