hahahaaa...! i'll cross my fingers for you! :)

yeah! i cant wait to give it to him! we're going on our first family holiday on Fathers' Day weekend, so the camera will come in handy and very timely! :)

i made the decision myself, with the help of hubby's fren who's a lot more knowledgeable on the subject. did i make an okay decision though? :confused:

Hi everyone! Just to share, I finally made my purchase today! I got the Sony Alpha A380 (Dual Kit). Was really torn between this and the Canon 550D, but in the end, I decided we dont really need video, so I got the Sony instead. I hope I made the right buy! :confused: Can't wait to give...

oh most definitely! i will let him know too how helpful everyone has been here! :cool:

lol! you're right! and thank you for the advice! :)

Oh thank you for the list of stores! cant help noticing Mustafa Centre is listed! :bsmilie: can they really be trusted? are their prices competitive? anyone bought a camera from there before?

Thank you for the warm welcome! :D to be honest, when I set aside my budget of $1300, I actually did not give the accessories any thought! So i may have to re-evaluate my choices and set aside the recommended amount for accessories. Shows you how much of a goon I am, huh! :bsmilie: I will...

Alan, you raised a very good point: the lugging around! :bsmilie: I will definitely TRY to "discuss" this and see what he says! and thanks for your suggestions. I think after reading all the advices here, I have pretty much decided to just get a "basic" one and not be too caught up by all...

actually yes, this is one of the main reason we're getting a "better" camera. to shoot pictures of our son and have nice pictures for keepsakes. he doesnt stay still, lol, and VERY SELDOM poses for the camera...and our present camera doesnt have that anti-motion thingy, so all we get are blurry...

Actually you're absolutely right. it's not in the equipment. I could get the best and if i'm lousy, it's all pointless! :bsmilie: So it think i will just get a basic, simple camera a "learner" like my husband and i can work with. and slowly learn our way up. :) and you're right again, higher...

very good advise! thank you for highlighting this to me! it certainly didn't occur to me till now! thanks again! :)

yeah, you have a point! :bsmilie: we have spoken about this on one or two occasions, getting a DSLR vs just upgrading our digicam, but he did say he's keen on learning photography using the DSLR. you know what, i think i'm gonna CASUALLY bring the subject up one of these days and get a...

Oh! thanks for highlighting this! I think we're more used to live view as opposed to the view finder...and this is certainly a great reminder! I will have to bear this in mind when i narrow my choices down! Thanks again! :)

Thank you very much for taking the time to type out your reply! :) Is Sony the only one with underwater housing?

Thank you for your suggestions! :) From what I managed to gather online, the Canon 550D caught my eye. But from the many helpful comments here, I will definitely consider the Pentax Kx as well when I do go camera-shopping this week! :)

thank you very much for your very detailed comment. :) i appreciate you taking the time to type it out! I will be making a trip to a few shops to have a look at a few camera options, (managed to enlist the help of hubby's fren who's a little more knowledgable on the issue!) and will...

THANK YOU! :) its great to know there're still helpful members around! :)
