Php 3,200 to fix my Kodak V803 or Php 8000 to trade it in for either a brand-new Kodak M340, or Php 7,900 trade-in for brand-new Kodak M320? Sentimental value camera or practical logic?
the brand new one has a 1 year warranty and of course the usual 1 GB SD card.
but my old Kodak which I use for panoramic shots has been with me through a lot of trips and was my first ever camera I bought in the US some time ago..
save for a Panasonic Lumix LX3, P20K+ here but in singapore its less, i got mine last August for 19K, +8gb SD card...its great, only downside is not enough zoom....they even came out with a new model just this month, cheaper $400, with up to 300mm zoom!
oh yes, I've been hearing good things about the LX3 (si Joeyfab4 ang unang nag recommend sa akin and we had a longer chat on it too, he also sent me to that link for reviews on cams *grin*)..
kaso e 29K Php kc last time I checked
...am trying to wait it out that it will go down to 20K PHP para di naman ako himatayin sa gastos...
Ok then. You can keep your old camera and buy the new one. That way, you can keep your sense of sentimentality intact and enjoy the advantages of modernity at the same time.
See, Cat. Dalawa na kaming nag recommend sa yo ng LX3.
Kaya, ayan sabi ni Philip kontakin mo na daw si Helene. Nasa advertising and marketing business yata siya sa Singapore. Baka maka discount pa siya para sa yo. Then have Loo (007) bring it with him to Pinas when he visits Che or Che can bring it with her when she returns from Spore. What say you?
honga eh..everytime may sale dito, I have been always keeping an eye on it, hoping for the best na mag down sya from 29K to mga 20K...e wala talaga...isip ko pa sana with a new one of it coming out..mag down..e hanggang 26K lang e...grrr........
actually di na rin talaga pwede..coz Helene came here on the last week of March...I had no idea she was coming over...and I was traveling to Cebu na on that weekend..
anyways, so far my waterproof GE naman while in Bantayan..so medyo naka document naman ng pics..though naubos battery sa daming pictures while fiddling with the controls..
hahaha...thats what I do already except I have "favorites"
favorite pang panoramic favorite pang waterproof favorite na usual (nasira nga lang ang cover sa battery part) ng aking Fujifilm
I always carry usually two before - the Finepix and another point and shoot na mas maliit para discreet picture-taking
that reminds me..I have found one shop here in Cebu which may be able to fix the problem with my battery cover...I will know next week pa, just in time for me to leave for Manila..hahaha...
I had a nice chat with the owner/repair guy (he used to be from Kodak Phils here in Cebu City before they shut down)...actually got a tip that my Kodak now is better than the ones being offered for trade-in (even if new)...
the brand new one has a 1 year warranty and of course the usual 1 GB SD card.
ReplyDeletebut my old Kodak which I use for panoramic shots has been with me through a lot of trips and was my first ever camera I bought in the US some time ago..
go for the practical logic...my 2 cents.
ReplyDeletesave for a Panasonic Lumix LX3, P20K+ here but in singapore its less, i got mine last August for 19K, +8gb SD card...its great, only downside is not enough zoom....they even came out with a new model just this month, cheaper $400, with up to 300mm zoom!

ReplyDelete"both" to the first question

ReplyDeleteif you know someone in Singapore,or going there, its at Alan's Photo Shop, Funan IT Mall, its less than P20K + 8gb SD card.
ReplyDeleteyes, that would be ideal..
ReplyDeletepautang muna ng pambili ng new camera...

ReplyDelete"save for a Panasonic Lumix LX3,"

Ooops, medyo nahuli ako. Kay Loo na lang. Ask Che.
ReplyDeletehi Joey..

ReplyDeleteanyways, so far my waterproof GE naman while in Bantayan..so medyo naka document naman ng pics..though naubos battery sa daming pictures while fiddling with the controls..
Why don't you just stick with one or two cameras instead of several and carry an extra battery for your favorite one or both?
ReplyDeleteIn time siguro bababa pa ang presyo nyan.
ReplyDeletehahaha...thats what I do already except I have "favorites"

Now, that's a keeper. Ingatan mo na lang ng mabuti.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I always carry two. My Canon DSLR and the D lux-4.
