finally! whew!

It was such an adrenaline rush!

My FIL (father-in-law) called hubby informing us that the Nikon d80 (body and kit) is no longer available at the electronics shops around his place. He told us that there’s a Nikon d60 which is a lot more affordable, and a Canon 450d which was one of our two choices. So it was a toss between a Nikon d60 and a Canon 450d.

Mind you, he was calling from his mobile while roaming around the stores. Yes, it was a long distance call asking us of our final decision. I was panicking. I ran to the other room to go infront of the PC and bumped my knee on the tv stands just to ask online. I twitted asking my online (photo addicts and digiscrapping moms like me)  friends about their own opinion. At the same time, I went to my fave DSLR review site to compare the two.

Then we decided we’d go for the Nikon d60 because I am so set to having a Nikon now (I even know the domain name I’d use for my gallery and the multiply account I plan to sign up in case we purchase a Nikon HAHAHA. Yes, that’s how planned it was). Hubby knows how much I like Nikon. :)

My FIL called again. We told him we decided that it’s Nikon d60. Then he said that the Canon 450d has a free tripod. And that the d60 doesn’t have an in-body vibration reduction.

So there… We just bought a new DSLR. :D

Wait, medyo di ko nagets? So what did you finally get? Canon 450d ba? Di na ako nagisip eh, we got the nikon d60 naman. Di na ako masyadong nagresearch, hehehe. basta binili ko ang within the budget. Gift ko kay dicky kasi ito eh. So sa US ka ba nagpabili? How much is the d60 there? hay, anovah, sige na nga, ayaw ko nang magcompare! hehehe.
