New challenge

Me and my sister decided to buy a digital camera because the last one we owned is the normal film camera (camera is not on our priority list, so there's no rush). We wanted only to check out 2 brands, its either Olympus or Sony. So we went to Sg Wang and after considering the options available, we finally settled for Olympus Stylus mju 760.

With a price tag of RM1150, the package come with the 760, battery, 2G memory card, casing, screen protector, strap, charger and the USB cables.

It's surprising very light and sleek. 7.1 mega pixel, all-weather and also an "Image Stabilization" function for those who can't take a shot without shaking their hands ;D

There are scene modes for Portrait, Landscape, Landscape & Portrait, Night Scene, Night & Portrait, Sport, Indoor, Candle, Self-Portrait, Available Light, Sunset, Fireworks, Cuisine, Behind Glass, Documents, Auction, Shoot & Select, Beach & Snow, Underwater.

The 760 also has a 'Guide' mode, listing all the things you want to do while shooting, i.e. close up, shooting in motion, shooting at night and etc. For a full professional review, please go here.

I tried to take a few shots and here's some sample (click the pix for a clearer view) ...

I'm not a pro in photography but hopefully can pick up some skills along the way. This should come in handy when we go for holidays in the next few months :)

A BIG THANKS to my dear sister who voluntarily paid for it for family use.
