My Dilemma
So, what happened to my X’mas gift from my dear hubby?
Well, let me back track a little bit. As we were, to be exact, as I was, studying and debating which model to get, the three candidates were Canon SD1000, Casio S880, and obviously, the Casio Z1080. I’m not gonna go into details and tell you why I picked the Z1080 over the other 2, it’s quite subjective.
So, I have been debating whether I should wrap it up and put it under the Christmas tree, and wait ’til Christmas night and ripped the wrapping paper along with my cousins, Ashlyn and Alex, and pretend I am very surprised to receive a new camera from dear hubby, or to test drive it and get familiar with the functions and use it to take pictures as everybody unwrapping their gifts. Thanks to dear hubby’s suggestion, I tested it last night. I was glad that he suggested to test the battery, otherwise, I wouldn’t have made the decision I have made this morning.
I decided to return it and get another model. Why? Everything was great about the Z1080, nothing wrong with it. The thickness, as compared to my S600 was a little thicker due to the size of the battery, didn’t bother me a bit. What bothered me the most was the time it took to display the picture after the image was taken.
I took a picture with both cameras, theoretically should be simultaneously, 1 in my right hand, 1 in my left. I’m sure I must have pressed one of the shutter sooner, the other later, but it didn’t affect the result. The S600 displayed the image immediately, and the Z1080 displayed a second or two later. That really bothered me, cux when taking pictures for kids, I need to know how it turn out immediately so that I know if need to retake or not.
I just ordered one of the other 2 models this morning, and going to return the Z1080 tomorrow. I’m very anxiously to get the newbie in my hands.
