Hi guys,
Hmm.. my very first post...
Was just wondering if i could get some opinion from some of you gurus.
I bought a Olympus 5050 about 18 months ago, about ~$1300 at that time, can't really remember. At the time of purchase, the 5050 was one of the recommended and better buys for a 5mp camera.
Its still in freaking good shape, no scratches and as new. I had always wanted to spend more time with the camera, but just never got the time to do it. Basically its has always stayed in its case and only been used on a handful of weekend outings.
As i recent looked through the new digi cams on sale in the papers and stores, i got quite a shock... prices had since drop quite a bit and there are quite a few impressive looking ones.
Which made me think, do i keep and hang on to my 5050 or do i sell it and upgrade? :dunno:
If i were to sell it, what can i get for it? anyone interested? :dunno:
As i have lost touch with specs of the newer digicams, how does my 5050 compare to the newer models, 5mp, 6mp, 7mp, 8mp? or is it a waste of time ?:dunno:
I have always muack around with the digicams of mates and family, some how i still think that my 5050 pics rocks, and is much brighter and clearer. Am i bias?
So the question is - do i sell my 5050 and top up and get a newer digicam (any recommendations) or is the differance too small and insignificant, thus does not warrant the extra time and $$$ spend? :dunno:
Please help...
Thanks in advance.
