Blogging paid for a digital camera
After much procrastination, I finally drove to the Sony Centre downtown to get a digital camera to replace the one that broke few months ago. The Sony Centre is at the old part of the town, parking is usually horrendous especially on Mondays. I got there at 10 a.m, had to drive in a circle for around half an hour to get a parking space!
Bought a Sony Cybershot DSC-W55, an entry level point and shot. I didn’t buy the latest model, which costs 200 bucks more. The sales person (she is the daughter of the shop owner) is quite honest, she told me the increase in megapixels (extra 0.9 Megapixels) for the latest model doesn’t justify the price difference, as it will not make much difference for 4R prints.
The camera is quite light and compact, actually it feels quite flimsy before I insert the battery and memory stick. I wanted to get the pink one, but it was out of stock, so I got it in boring silver. It also comes in baby blue, but the blue somehow make it looks like a toy camera, to me.
You are probably going to see more images on the blogs from now on. Anyway, the camera is sponsored by all the paid posts I have done on the Montessori blog. It’s nice to be able to afford nice little things with the money earned from paid posts. :-)
Congrats! I love success stories like this :D
PB: I hope in future can buy something bigger like you did with your paid post earning.;-)
