assalamualaikum w.b.t
anyway, who's my new buddy?
straight to the point, it's my new DSLR.. should I call it new? well, I bought in last year on the 18th of December (the phrase 'last year' denoted as if I've bought it like for such a long time ago).. today is the 17th day it is under my care.. but only today I make an official announcement through my blog.. well, nobody care I guess...
it is like a dream come true owing my own DSLR.. and frankly, never did I touch a DSLR for at least once in my life.. but why did I so eager to buy it? it's because of my interest with photography..
oo, it's a Canon EOS 1000D.. an entry-level DSLR..
before I bought it, I had two main problems..
1) I had two choices.. the first one is this one and the second choice is Nikon D3000.. both of these are entry-level cameras.. with just a little difference in price, that makes me even harder to choose and come to a conclusion.. so, i did a research.. I browsed many websites and forums, making comparison, looking through every single detail about each camera, looking through every sample pictures and even read reviews and opinions from random users.. it felt like conducting a serious research as if I were doing my thesis for PhD.. that's hyperbola.. but seriously, it's kinda serious and important to conduct research because this might include a big budget and I don't wanna regret at the end of the day.. my mind was fussed up.. totally.. what a hard decision to make since one thing might lead to the other.. and it's not just me.. there were even more people out there sitting at the same situation as mine.. firstly, I did really want Nikon D3000.. but as I went along with my research, I began to develop my interest with Canon EOS 1000D.. I asked my friend for their opinion, and most of them suggested that I should by Nikon.. then I asked, why? most of their reasons sounded like this 'Nikon is more popular, Nikon is better (how do you know it is better?), many people use Nikon and so on'.. then I asked them back, "so, what's wrong with Canon".. the only answer that they can give was , "Canon is quite good.. Up to you..".. so, asking them was like I was asking myself back since at the bottom line I didn't get the definite reason.. so, after doing research for quite some time, finally I chose Canon EOS 1000D.. so the same question again, "Why?".. well, this time I just followed my instinct.. basically, Nikon D3000 and Canon EOS 1000D, both have their own pros and cons.. if I explain in technical perspective here, it's gonna be a long post to read.. but in the end, buying one of it will not make you feel regret for not buying the other one because both of these cameras are destined to be rival to each other..
2) I got confused whether I should buy DSLR or follow the trip to Egypt at the end of this month.. so, it's more to financial problem because choosing one of it will surely defeat the other one.. I mean, I don't have enough budget.. so, I asked for opinions from my friend and even posted this confusion in my FB status "Antara DSLR or vacation?".. and in less than 2 hours, I received 61 comments.. what a standing ovation!! haha.. of course, there were some difference in opinions.. some asked me to buy DSLR, while some asked me to choose both, and some suggested me to go forward for the vacation and I can buy one later.. and some even suggested me to borrow others.. One of the best reviews suggested that I should go for vacation instead of buying DSLR because once I've bought it, the budget will keep on running and it won't stop just like that.. He said that after I own one, the next time I will have to make a decision whether I should buy a lens or follow vacation, and after that I will begin to consider whether I should go for a trip or buy a speedlight.. He even said that I should just buy it later in Malaysia and not to buy the entry -level one.. He suggested I should go for the intermediate level since it will be more money efficient.. As I've said before, one thing may lead to another..this was such a hard decision to make.. One of my friend said that, "Once you own it, you don't have to buy lenses or speedlight la.. The DSLR itself is enough".. Hmm, what a mouth you have!! I know that I'm surely going to be more into this because I'm a big fan of photography..
so, now that I already have it, does it mean that I should say goodbye to the vacation.. the answer is hell NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I get the chance to travel, I will never skip it..
so, how about money? do I have enough? the answer is hell YES!! I found a solution to have them both.. and what't is it??? SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... secret.. hehe..
so, with this DSLR, I wish I can learn more about photography and enhance my skill..
I will strive for the best snapshot... at this point, photography is just my hobby... but I do hope that if the moment will come, it will be more than just a hobby.. or simply saying, I should go deeper into this field..
since this is just an entry-level DSLR, I don't expect for a very great photo quality.. I am just at the learning stage and that's it, don't expect more.. (azam tahun baru ~~ jgn expect lebih2.. nanti kecewa)
who knows if I can be a photographer later???? amin..............
till then
daa~~
(p/s: napa aku ni suka fikir benda yang tak sepatutnya difikirkan??)
