Malaysia Food Blog, Malaysia Travel Blog


BM Kia says..
As I read through my blog posts for 2008, I found most of them are restaurant related reviews. I think this is deviating from my original purpose of food blogging, which is to discover and promote local foods, especially hawker fares. If not, it wouldn't be fit to be called "Malaysia Food Blog" So, my main aim of blogging for year 2009 would be to continue to do what I actually enjoyed the most - to travel, discover and promote cheap and tasty food.

Bought a new camera!

Posted by: vkeong In: Misc () (113 views)

We finally did it! After months of planning Siang Leng and I shared the cost to purchase the DSLR camera we had always wanted, the Canon Powershot S3IS. This is like a dream come true for us :) We bought the camera from Fotocam in Perangin Mall. These are the breakdowns of our purchase:

  1. Camera - RM1600 (Retail price is RM1899)
  2. 4 x AA sized hahnel rechargeable batteries (inclusive of charger) - RM85
  3. 1GB SD memory card - RM99
  4. Original Canon carrying bag - RM35
  5. Anti scratch/fungus protection cover for the lense - RM136
  6. Total - RM1850

We walked around the Komtar area, entering at least 8 camera shops to search for the best deal. Some had a higher price for the camera, but cheaper accessories and vice versa. We wanted to purchase from Lam Loong, which sells the camera at RM1590, and gives free bag and tripod. But too bad their store had closed :(

Next day, we went to test out the camera’s photo taking abilites. Trying out the Super Macro feature using my mom’s orchid.

Canon Powershot S3IS is not a DSLR, it is placed under the prosumer range digital compact camera catergory instead.

exkay - Yeah I know that mistake :P Someone pointed that out to me earlier. hehe

travelguy - Fotocam.. my experience with them was ok lah. My first choice back then was Lam Loong because LL offered it cheaper, but out of stock..
