This is about my digital cameraSSSsss…
Sad story… but not so sad… ^_^…
Ok, I ordered online the other day, for the casio exilim s880 battery, NP-20,
Yes, only available online, and from some ebay seller… I wrote an email to the local casio dealer for advice, ie. DKSH, no reply… #@^$%$&%$# damn you!
Fine!!!
So, I decided to order it online, since it's not like hundred bucks business…
By right… I shouldn't be blogging about it yet, but then… I just feel like talking about it…
There… I talk… ^_^
Our first digital camera, in 2004, olympus AZ-1,
We decided on that, as it's the first one that came out with TFT and wide screen…
That time, we're in HK, in fact, much more things to choose, but we picked this…
Happy with it…
In fact, till today, I still feel that, it's a great camera, and mind you, it's still functioning…
While we're picking camera, I actually wanted that sushi camera, ie. sony's early generation of digital camera,
DSC-U10 (or some sort!)
It's called sushi camera, cos, it's supposedly to be the size of sushi, the real size, not the one served in our coutry!!!! (sashimi's smaller, size of sushi rice is smaller… @#%^$#@^%$$ damn you!)
In the end, we picked that olympus, simply because, the size of the screen at the back, is so much bigger… ^_^…
(I still think these sushi cameras are cute, if you actually have one, yet to be tossed away, toss that to me then…)
Anyway, we lived with it, till 2008,
When we're going to tokyo again…
In fact, after we bought that olympus camera, I've always wanted a casio exilim,
At that time, the exilim's so slim, that it could fit into any leather card holder, and that, I thought looked nice… and that~ was the very reason, I wanted a casio…
So, finally, for the reason that, after the AZ-1 was plugged with a 1GB memory card, the start-up became slow… we bought a second digital camera, ie. casio exilim s880…
Ooh!! Nothing much "legendary" to talk about it… just a digital camera, though it's fast… much faster… however, we thought the picture quality in fact, is not that nice, as compared to olympus…
However, it still has some sentimental value to both of us… ^_^ why?? Cos, we used that to take baby's picture, in the hospital, when the doctor just took her out from my tummy… ghee… how sweet huh??
Then, a few months after baby's born… we used this camera to take many many of baby's photos… good!! Happy with it…
Till one day, the battery refused to be recharged…
There, that's when I started to curse, and looked into the product!
Gosh!! MADE IN CHINA!!!
I dug out the olympus AZ-1 in the drawer, MADE IN JAPAN!!
No wonder, no wonder!!!!!!!!
See!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't blame if for disliking china's product…
That's the type of quality you get…
I took out the battery, NP-20, and looked around those camera shops..
First thing they asked me, "what year did you buy?",
"2008" I said…
Reply?? "so old already! May not have the battery!"
What?? 2008, 2 years only and you told me, it's an OLD model??
Damn you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See!! I kinda hate the technology makers nowadays…
(another long blog to talk about it… next time LO!)
After several months, and there, I decided to try that ebay seller…
Hope that battery works… else, casio!! I'll damn you to hell!!!
(the funniest product that I've seen, lately, of casio is… guess what?? A camera with GPS function!! @_@... Tell me, why do I need one? Phone with GPS yes, understand, but A CAMERA? With GPS??)
Casio! Oi~ casio~~
