Instead of a new LV bag, i reward myself with this black beauty instead:

I was deciding between Sony A550 and Canon EOS 500D but in the end, i chose Canon, simply because Canon was lighter! LOL.. okay i know that's not a very convincing reason but it's absolutely one of the reason :)

I have always being a huge supporter of Sony cameras becaus of it's brilliant picture quality but this A550 is just slightly too big for my hand and should i start collecting lenses, i might one day find it too cumbersome to use! Moreover, i have read about the many good reviews of this Canon model, so i'm gonna give it a try.
Let's also see what other Sony digital cameras i have used the past years:

I can't remember the exact model of my first Sony digital camera but it looked rather similar to this model. I gave it away to Dad after 2 months when T3 was launched.

Sony T3 was the first camera to have internal lens and it looked very chic at that time.

My next camera was the sleek and refined T20 and the T3 was then given to my brother. It took beautiful pictures but sadly before i got bored with it, it got lost in a restaurant in London.
Upon my return to Singapore, i bought T100 as T20 was no longer in production.

Not only the T100 took gorgeous pictures but also pretty amazing good videos. Again before i got bored with it, i accidentally dropped it in Ocean Park in Hongkong last year during my family trip and thus ending its life span :(
My last buy was the Sony H20.
I bought because it's not expensive, yet feels like a mini SLR in my hands plus it has semi-manual focus. But now that i have the Canon EOS 500D, i think this will again go to the hands of one of my brothers soon! I'm such a generous sister. :)
Although i have upgraded to an SLR, but i don't think i will ever stop buying a compact digital camera for my day to day use. I already have in mind the sleek and lovely TX7.
Every girl needs a compact digicam in their handbags and this certainly goes very well in mine.
