I went alpha last weekend.
Before you wonder what sort of medication I'm in this time, the alpha is Sony's latest digital SLR offering. I've been contemplating getting my own DSLR to replace my equally powerful Cybershot F828.
I should have done this a long time ago, convert to Single Lens Reflex camera to feed my hobby. But ever the loyal Sony consumer, I swore never to buy any other camera brand. So when Sony's first ever SLR came out fall of last year, I got sweaty palms and started to shake all over.
Pricey, yes, so I had to wait until my finances clear a bit. The alpha is actually on my to-buy list for 2007, next to the Toyota Fortuner and the Sony Bravia LCD TV. Well, being the cheaper toy in the list, I thought it should be easier to own the alpha this early. I said first quarter, too, so timing is just right.
To say that I'm excited is an understatement. I am thrilled, I can't wait for the weekend to arrive so that I may try it in Corregidor or Intramuros. Of course, soon to follow is Panagbenga in Baguio, the tarsiers and Panglao in Bohol, and my major thing this first half of the year - a trip to Batanes.
Whew. Itchy fingers, restless feet.

Awesome new toy P're. Have fun shooting :-)
Been thinking of getting a DSLR myself but I don't have the skills yet deserving of owning one hehehehehe A former friend infected me with the photography bug. Will take the hobby more seriously one of these days.
Hehe me, skill or no skill I've taken the plunge...figured it's better to do it sooner, before the summer.
