Sony DSC V3
Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Personal
I don’t know where this itch came from - too bored with my day job, or too stressed with job + final year project, but all out of the blue, I remembered that Stephen Tang has a camera that he wants to sell off. So I asked him about it.. as you would know, 2nd hand goods can be so damn attractive at times..
It just took me an evening to make up my mind - I’ll buy it!! RM 1150 for the Sony DSC V3 that comes with a whole bunch of manual settings, and Stephen even includes a nice bag and 2 filters (Polaroid and UV filter, not in picture).
The DSC V3 is much larger in real life, especially if you’re used to using tiny point-and-shoot cameras. It has a 2.5″ lcd screen on the back, and I realized what a luxury it is when I used my old Nikon 4100 to snap the picture of the DSC V3.
I’m still reading up the manual and an ebook on photography. Hey, in photography, the saying “manual? what manual?” doesn’t really apply. Perhaps “Scene mode is for suckers” though, if you can adjust a bunch or manual settings quickly to capture a rare moment.
One picture that I manage to take though, is:
Vico is my “boss” over at Microsoft. Whenever I see that, I’m reminded of my lengthy telephone conversation with him, the night before my exam.
Oh, there’s also 2 other pictures that I’ve uploaded over at http://www.jnls.net/photos that doesn’t suck that hard. The first one, was taken without any effort at all.. both turned out kinda dark..
