Cameras

Hello, hello. I'm finally done with trials. My mum had been asking for tablet suggestions so I finally had some time to do some research. As I went through tens of articles and reviews, I was thinking to myself, 'are all these really necessary?'

Looking at all the gadgets, I couldn't help but wish that I could have them. One of those things is the Fujifilm Instax Camera. 

↑How did I get to an instant camera while looking for tablets? My attention span is really short.

I've always wanted an instant camera because my family rarely, if ever, prints out our pictures. I can afford it, but I don't really have money to throw around. Plus, we already have three cameras at home. Three.

Sony Cybershot T2

I'm not sure how it came about but right now it rightfully belongs to my sister. I just checked and it has quite good reviews. Well it wasn't really surprising as I've never had a problem with this camera, quality-wise. I'm not a professional, I've only just started getting interested in photography about a month ago and I haven't learned much yet.

See how I wrote 'no problem, quality-wise' up there? Well I brought it to my Japan trip, and guess what happened? It started vibrating! I couldn't take a proper picture at all. So I had to buy another camera. At the electronics shop, a Sony camera had initially caught my eye. It has a stabiliser which was good for me as my hands would shake. But Sony didn't have worldwide warranty. Guess what brand did? 

Olympus µ 7020

I had to settle down for this instead. I would be lying if I said I don't regret buying it. Even at the store, I was kind of hesitating buying it. But I had to get it anyway because of the warranty. Personally, I think a trip to Low Yat would fix the Sony if anything happened to it but I figured my family wouldn't really appreciate my say on this. So I got the Olympus µ instead. Honestly, I don't really like it. The pictures aren't exactly top-notch. I was hoping the pictures would turn out better on the computer but it's so blurry. I think my mum's old compact film camera does a better job than this.

Sony Alpha NEX-7

A month ago, my dad went to Korea. He brought this home.

It happened that my brother requested a DSLR from Korea, but instead he got this. My dad has next to zero clue about cameras, so he bought this as it was the most expensive there omg daddyyyy

My sticky fingers and I took the opportunity to start messing around with it. I've always been overwhelmed by DSLRs (the NEX7 is not a DSLR apparently but it's complicated enough for me to throw it there) but I thought I'd play around with this. I took my first shot. I zoomed in. I fell in love.

Unfortunately, being the noob I am, (almost) ALL MY PICTURES ARE BLURRY. Of course, I can always practice (I'm looking up tutorials now) but it's not my camera. = I won't be bringing it everywhere. I took it for the Chinese dinner the other day (the one I was supposed to write about) but I got scolded for messing around with the settings. And I'm guessing it won't conveniently fall into my hands like a lot of other things in the house because 1. it's expensive 2. "you already have a camera!" ←OTL

Why do I always end up miles where I started? As much as I want the Instax, I already have way too much. Can't be greedy now. Plus I have to save the money to buy clothes.

Urghh it's 2am. I should really stop blogging so late. Tomorrow got school some more. Good night u_u
