Lol went to Futureshop in Metrotown today in hope of getting my new Canon G9 camera price matched, and it all went well as planned! Futureshop matched its price with Broadway Camera, and ended up giving me a $114 refund… I’m totally happy! (I was thinking to return the camera if they weren’t willing to match the price anyway)

Wanting to play with the camera for a bit but actually heading to bed now as I’m extremely stressed out for no reason, plus I have to get up early tomorrow for the Korean language lesson…

I just sold my Fujifilm F50fd digital camera that I got from Ebay like 3 weeks ago…lol. Sold it to a guy on Craigslist for $350, not bad at all~ Reason selling it was to invest in this Canon G9 camera, much higher end than the F50fd even though both are 12 megapixels (here is a review, here is another one with sample images.) The F50fd was overall a great camera, slim, handsome looking, powerful… but the image quality was worse than expected so not too long after getting it I was already in search of a replacement 8O. After couple dozen hours of research, I ended up picking up the top-of-the-line Canon G9, which is a 12 megapixel with a 6X optical zoom and an image stablizer. Turned out to be one of my best decision made this year, the image quality is stunning. Great color, accurate focus, good low light performance (ISO 400 with not much noise), and solid steel sturdy body. Macro performance is amazing too, I was placing the lens as close as 0.5 cm from an object and it was able to focus with ease! Movie taking quality was great compared to the Fujifilm F50fd - color was accurate and I was able to zoom in/out during recording.

I’m looking forward to utilize my new camera to its max during my next vacation to China in the coming month!

Yay! Got my new digital camera delivered today!! It’s a Fujifilm FinePix F50fd 12MP camera and is not even available in North America yet~ Yea I got if off Ebay for about $400, which is not bad at all consider that it’s shipped directly from Japan (Japanese model). Usually I would prefer Canon (for their picture quality) or Sony (for their stylish designs), I went for Fujifilm this time because of its crazy good low light performance. It really owns Canon and Sony on low light performance while retaining a decent day time performance. Here is an article about it, another one, yet another one(in Chinese). I was going to get the Nikon D80 DSLR camera but gave up when I found out it doesn’t shoot movie! I DO want to take lots of movie when I travel, and this little Fujifilm will do it right.
