all things sony


Check out my new toy! This is the Sony micro vault tiny 2GB thumb drive, except its much smaller than a thumb drive, more like a fingernail drive! Okay, the macro function on my camera may make it look a lot bigger than it really is, but I guess you can size it by looking a the tip which connects to your computer. oh, and its only a few millimeters thick, and comes with this cool carry case!

Have I suddenly become a sony fan? I've just got new sony headphones too, albeit the cheap variety. I used to use everything sony in the days of walkman and discman, but not until lately. I think sony's new mp3 player with the new lcd technology is really cool! The lcd screen is practically integrated into the case, and that makes IPod hella backward man...

So why did i get a Sony camera? after all, my last Canon was pretty much one of the better cameras I always had, and it ran on batteries which suited my run around lifestyle when I'm on vacation. Well, the Canon didn't last very long that's why. My parents got it for me before our trip to the canadian rockies. And it died once halfway during our trip! Got back, had it exchanged, and my parents being super kiasu sent the new one for diagnostics, only to turn up with a fault! And now, just after the warranty expires, it dies again. Canon may be the most popular brand around, but it ain't gonna last, especially the ones that are made in malaysia. My other sony at home which we got free has lasted till today.... And plus a family friend who's a pro photographer recommends sony for the type of purposes I'm using the camera for.

I got to say the price tag is pretty steep, but otherwise it's been doing pretty great except that the battery doesnt exactly last very long.... But I can live with that as long as it doesnt die on me during my vacation!
