my first Sony experience is with my Sony camera
Saturday, November 15, 2008
After months of saving and dithering, buying that Sony DSC-W50 camera was a milestone for me in many ways.
Up until then, I had been mostly using my mobile phone (which had a 3.15Mpx camera) to snap pictures and although it was handy and basically functional, I knew I needed a proper camera that could offer more: bigger memory, better resolution, better set of controls, and a more complex set of functions to accommodate various situations. After considering my options, I decided on this sleek 6.0Mpx Cyber-shot W50 model because it was light, compact and had a 2.5-inch LCD screen.
I also had other, more compelling, reasons to buy a good camera. You see, my sister and i had booked a weekend trip to Shanghai last year, and that trip wouldn't have been complete without my Sony camera. It had been more than a year (and even longer for my sister) since I had a real vacation so we were both excited about the trip.
We started snapping pictures even before boarding our plane, and after touching down at Shanghai's international airport, i promptly whipped out my camera and started clicking again.
The weather in Shanghai was unbelievably cold (it was 5 degrees Celsius), especially towards evening. Still, it didn't stop us from gawking and exclaiming over the enormous changes that a few years had brought to the sprawling city. Tall skyscrapers and soaring structures stood side by side with old colonial buildings (see some snaps below). And the food! Local dishes were relatively cheap and delicious -- quite an excellent deal for tourists who are perennially on a lookout for a good bargain.

The funny thing was I didn't tell my office mates that I would be going to China. I purposely withheld that information because I wanted to surprise them -- by blogging about my current location. And what better way for me to convince them I wasn't kidding than to post some of the pictures we've snapped -- sort of like "kilroy was here" deal -- in my blog? Their reaction? Well, let's just say, it was exactly what i had hoped for, and more.

My Sony camera definitely gave significance in my life just like Sony's the World's First Noise Canceling Notebook Computer: VAIO T Series, which will help me concentrate on my work without being distracted by the noise around me.
