Weeee! After months of wanting a new camera, I finally got one! It may not be brand new but it still snaps good quality pictures. ;) Why 2nd hand camera, U ask? Well, blame it on my mom! She is always "stingy" when it comes to purchasing something that she will not get to use that often. As such, she gave me a budget of ONLY SGD150 and expect me to get a brand new camera. It's just ridiculous, right? Well, that was what I thought initially but eBay just had to prove me wrong. Sheesh!
Apparently, for SGD150, one can actually get countless of brand new cameras (2MP to 8MP). Some are even branded! Gee, nothing is impossible, no? :P Even so, it's tough bidding for these items. The demand is extremely high! I lost count of how many auctions I got outbidded. Sigh. Still, I love the "thrill" of bidding. Hehe. Anyways, since it is THAT tough to get a brand new camera at such low prices, I had to resort to a 2nd hand one instead. Of course I have to carefully "analyse" the condition of each camera first before bidding for it. Eventually, after such careful selection, I chose to purchase the Samsung L60 (6MP) at a mere SGD120.
The camera was purchased less than a year ago by the owner and is still in a mint condition (normal wear & tear is of course expected). Since the camera was rarely used, the battery life is still beyond good and everything still functions properly. Overall, the camera is just perfect and hopefully, it will have a longer lifespan with me. :) Gosh, I'm so happy that I've made a correct choice. There's absolutely no regrets! Hehe. Below is a brief description of the camera:
"Samsung introduces a 6 Megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical SHD lens to strengthen its digital success in the crowded 6 Megapixel digital camera sector. The Samsung L60, introduced by Samsung, is a portable compact digital camera (94 x 52 x 20 mm) that delivers an image resolution of 2816 x 2112 pixels. The Samsung Digimax L60's SHD optical lens has a focal length of 39-117 mm, f/2.8-4.9 (equivalent of 35mm film camera). Even though the Samsung Digimax L60 is small, the engineers managed to ensure that it has a 2.4-inch color TFT LCD display with a resolution of 112K pixels. The Samsung Digimax L60 digital camera is packed in a 2cm flat black or silver coloured housing with a variety of features."
