I’m sitting, waiting, wishing

Dear Panasonic FZ-18,

Why won’t you be mine? I have been courting you for 3 months-odd already but you just won’t budge. Quit playing hard to get will you?

But I won’t give up my chase just yet ’cause I feel that I’ve known you far too much to let you go just like that. Your strengths and weaknesses; your capabilities and potential… even so, there’s so much more about you that I wish to discover.

You caught my eye the first time I saw you. No doubt there are others that are of the same colour as you but somehow you stood out. No it’s not your protruding, long lens. Let’s just say it’s love at first sight.

I love how you look nice even in low light, make so little noise at night and I’m just mesmerized by how well you fit into my hands.

I’m just playing the waiting game right now, waiting for the perfect time to ask you out again. Hopefully, you’ll be agreeable then.

Just so you know, I dumped Canon S5IS just because I feel that you are the right one for me.

Please… will you be mine?

Love,
Fitree

actually, I was thinking of you when I was doing this entry! Not in a gay manner lah, just happen to think of your situation.

Yup, you got it right there. Canon and Nikon are the best for DSLRs. But I’m just looking at a prosumer man.

after reading your blog and all, I’ve a feeling that your teacher’s one is a DSLR? haha!

but then again, you are are spot on. Nikon’s pics are traditionally nice, Canon are feature-friendly…

I was skeptical about Panasonic initially too but I did my fair bit of research. The rest, tawakal jer ah..

candle-lit mice. i think is … a concept whereby you insert candles in the mouths of erect mice. cute uh…. then the ‘lit’ part is when you use a lighter/match to light the candles. aww so pretty.

“must i always be waiting, waiting on you?”

a fellow jack johnson fan i assume

just a lil tip, add a few bux and u can get an entry level canon dslr.

canon, all the way baby.

yeah, i like jack johnson ’cause i like slow songs.

I can’t afford a dslr now ah… maybe when money comes in the form of paychecks then i’ll get one? ’cause there’s drybox, lenses and many other stuff to buy.

ahhh… the debate of Canon vs Nikon. Classic.

Trolling around on your blog is fun!

I own the older sibling of the FZ-18… The super old FZ-5.

The camera has served me well, and I have no problems with it for casual shooting and 4R prints… But… Having played around with other prosumers and DSLRs, here’s what’s lacking with mine :

1) ISO 100 is relatively noisy. ISO 200 wah ran, almost cannot tahan. But then again, maybe it’s because I’m spoiled with DSLRs’ “butter smooth” picture quality…

2) Auto-focus response time is quite slow… Really hard to capture fast-action stuff. You’ll find out what I mean in my upcoming blog entry. Heh.

3) Longest exposure is 8 seconds only! _-_

Other than that, my FZ-5 is a good starter camera. I believe the FZ-18 has a max shutter speed of 60 seconds now… Wheeee!

eh! you own a Panny too? cool! well.. that shows how fast technology is getting into our machines eh? soon, mine will be obsolete too.

actually i think all these manufacturers are just playing some kind of a game with consumers. I bet they can eliminate noise at ISO200 or even go down to ISO50 ’cause older film SLRS can do so and why not cameras nowadays right?

anyway i saw the entries of you playing around with DSLRs. one thing for sure once you touch them, you’ll shun all these prosumers.

i wanna own a DSLR too but money.. urgh is the root of all evil.
