Haven't been updating in a while. Have been pretty exhausted thanx to the work which is pretty intelligence insulting, dull but relak 1 corner for us to chit chat and do just a bit of work. There has been much enthusiasism (somehow the spellign looks wrong) to update due to the many new surprises I have happening for the past few days.

I GOT MY DIGITAL CAMERA!!!



It's the FUJI FinePix A201. I bought it at SGD 350, upgrade to 64mb for 50, with GST all in all at SGD 410! :) I am quite cheatable because I don't quite know much about the functions but it seems good enough for me at that particular price, so well just went ahead with it.

Thankfully, the review I just read from here says....


"The FinePix A201 is a good "entry level" two-megapixel digital camera for those looking for a simple and easy to operate camera that delivers good image quality. It doesn't have any kinds of advanced controls other than being able to change the white balance settings or vary the exposure compensation. The lens is fixed (non-zoom) and the focus is also fixed which means that there are no delays due to auto focusing.
It's small enough to slip in your pants pocket or a purse and can be easily carried all day in your hand. It's designed as a "point and shoot" camera and you only need to turn it on and press the shutter button to capture a picture. The color LCD is good and can be used in all but direct sunlight conditions. When playing images back you can magnify them up to 4x on the 1.6-inch screen so it makes it easy to check for focus, color and composition. The battery life is average and depends on how often you use the color LCD for review and preview.

Under all but the harshest lighting conditions the camera delivers good image quality with well saturated and properly exposed colors. The flash is adequate for normal situations, just don't expect it to light up subjects beyond eight or nine feet. The 1600 x 1200-pixel images will print good pictures up to 8x10 inch size. They're excellent for email or web pages. If you're looking for a good starter digital camera or a stocking stuffer for a budding digi-photographer this is a good choice that won't break the bank.

Here are some of the sample pictures which I have taken undear harsh conditions (of getting caught slacking) Size reduced greatly to facilitate friendlier downloading. :)
