shop till you drop !


Nikon has unveiled the Coolpix P90 superzoom with 24x optical zoom. With 26mm - 624mm (35mm equiv.) zoom range this superzoom camera sports a 12.1 MP sensor, 3.0 inch tilting LCD and includes manual and auto features such as Scene Auto Selector, Smile Mode, Blink warning and P/A/S/M exposure modes. In addition, continuous shooting mode can deliver 45 images at 15 fps, with images being recorded before pressing the shutter button.


Guys, I'm shopping for a new camera !!! Not that my good old Lumix is worthless, it's still a very handy tool that fits in any pocket and that makes amazing pictures, but I'm hungry for some more sophistication :-) which I didn't find on the market till now: I don't want to buy the usual SLR (reflex-camera): although very nice, they all are too big and too bulky, and not convenient for a loose traveller like me.

Several brands are popping out now with a DSLR: digital single lense reflex camera: much smaller then the usual old SLR, and with lots of interesting yummies! The Nikon above is one of them, and there's also the Panasonic DMC G1 (soon to be G2). I can't wait to test them, and to make a choice! I can't promise that I will have made a decision by next trip (March/April), but surely in summer! Be prepared for some wild shooting when I'll have the new cam !!!!
