New Camera Purchase! (29)

I was planning on buying a new digital camera this Black Friday. But honestly the Black Friday ads that have come out have been ultra disappointing. The prices haven’t been very good and the cameras offered aren’t any better than my 4 year old 4.1 Sony digital camera really.

I’ve been weighing my options of what I’d like & need in a new digital camera. Mine is starting to crap out. The screen goes fuzzy, it sometimes takes purple photos, the screen tones no longer match the photo taken… so I need to replace it soon. In the end I realized my biggest need was a camera that could take good, clear images at lower light levels without flash. For example, a lot of my photos from Japan look like this

boxes of colored contacts

boxes of fireworks

The night photo I could understand, even though I was standing perfectly still while taking it. The others were disappointing. The stores were super well lite and the blurriness is just aggravating. So a camera with image stabilization was really my biggest desire. I’ll stop at that, rather than explain EVERY REASON why I chose the following camera…

Fujifilm Finepix F60fd

sexy ultra-compact camera!

It’s brand new to the market, 12MP with Dual Image Stabilization, and I got it within my budget range thanks to the looming Black Friday sales I’m really excited to receive it! And if it blows I’ll just return it But the reviews said it’s suppose to be really good for low lighted situations, so we’ll see.

Speaking of spending I got a few things on crazy sale this weekend too, but I’m waiting on my new camera to come in Tuesday to take pictures. Kinda like, to test it out!
~anyway~ :calmair:

I finally got around to scanning in these 2 free hostess ad booklets I picked up while in Kabukicho! HAHAHA One is Chibi Maru and the other is PQ Chibi Maru seems more for women looking for hostess clubs (mostly male clubs are advertised here) & hostess jobs, and PQ is a booklet targeting hostess girls providing ads for goods & services they might need in their “line” of work, hahaahh. I know the whole idea of Hostess makes many people nauseous~ however I am not one of those people. So please to enjoy a few scans from these booklets~ I was LOL’ing the entire time I was flipping through these I just it so much!
I spared you guys from ads on plastic surgery & boob enhancement,
