Sony Cybershot T-70!!

Super stylish, right?

I have been smitten with this beauty ever since the last disaster happened in Suntec City which goes by the name IT Show. It was love at first sight.

I went around Funan to get this stuff. Well, I once went to Sim Lim Square days ago but every salesperson there was so rude and making me uncomfortable. (”Are you buying or just asking?” WTF)
I settled at Song Brothers Funan. It was cheaper than the retail price ($499). It was $485. Ok, not that much difference but the free gift that comes with it matters. For this I’ve got extra battery, extra memory (4 GB), FOC card reader, a screen protector, and a case. Other stores actually offer other free gifts like flash memory, tripod, etc etc. They all offer $499. A tripod sounds like a good free gift but I don’t really need tripod anyway since I’ll be mostly shooting things on my way (and yes, of course my Europe trip!!). One store offered me reduced price original battery but it all went up to $500++. No can do. One store had a price so low but the salesperson “attacked” me by directly asking what colour I want just after I asked the price. Whoa, slow down buddy.

At first I wanted to buy the white one (to erm, well, match my macbook). But they didn’t have the stock of the white one. Other options were silver and pink. I don’t like silver stuff (even though i love the colour) since usually it scratches easily and the scratch will be visible.
Case in point : my dear Nokia N70.
(I juz realized my stuff have 70 in it)

oh and of course this photo was taken using the spanking new T70.
Oh anyway. Pink? Nah.. The pink looks… kinda fragile to me. If I want a pink camera, I would prefer this T2 pink. If I want to go “yuckz”, I’ll go to the really “yuckz”.

Ok, the pink is cute but it’s really yuckz for me. Sorry.

This T2 is $100 more expensive with bigger internal memory. But with $100 less I get free extra memory anwyay, so yah.
Aaanyway. I finally chose black coz it looks sturdy and elegant. Hehe.
