Too many digital camera models
// April 15th, 2009 // Mortis
After work, I met Hinote so we could bring back the S220 to the store. Nice camera design but shitty pictures quality. Hinote did some research for a compact camera, getting a list of model numbers. They didn’t have any of them at the store I got it, so we got the money back. We ate a burrito and ice cream and shopped in electronic store. We got her a Canon SD790 IS. Good picture quality, 3 inches screen and solid case. Sure it’s not pink but we agree that quality vs fashion for electronic. So this way she has a tiny camera she can carry everywhere. I’m still thinking getting the Powershot SX10 IS or SX1 IS for me. Megazoom FTW. The button broke on my sony H2, bad quality of that part, so I’m using Hinote earring to take picture.
While shopping for her camera, we realized how confusing it’s getting with all those different models. Canon has 11 models active between 200$ and 300$. Do you want a bigger screen, more zoom, with AA batteries or not. And marketing wise, they always think the more megapixels the better, sensor quality doesn’t matter! That make me think of the megahertz race, and AMD fighting it, when they were doing more operation by seconds.
So you end up with a previous model with a better image quality and higher model number that the new one. I’m all about choice, but you need to do your hw to know which camera to buy.
We got home and they wow patch was still at 60%. We watched 24, Terminator, and Hero. I installed the patch, looked at the talent tree changed, but server were instable, and decided to wait for tonight play. Server queues will probably back again..
