September 18, 2010 • 29 comments • 1963 viewsI treated myself to a new Raya purchase!
Come on, if you don’t treat yourself, why would others?
Say hello to my new baby.

Yayy!! The latest Leica V Lux 20.
I’m not a photographer, but being a blogger, a camera is very important to me. Skilled or not, I still want a good one! Hehe.
I used the Canon G11 before this, and it’s really great. Love the screen flipping thingy and the manual settings. It’s a known fact Canon is the most user-friendly camera.
But I think my true favourite is still Leica. After comparing both, I still love the picture quality a Leica produces. Hopefully, this will be my last camera! Hehe. I have to stop changing cameras. My mom will get super duper annoyed.
Anyway, I always tell myself I’ll be fair and use all my cameras. But realistically, I never do. So, realising that it’s unfair to the abandoned camera that I found a new love, I sold my 2-month old Canon G11 to Boot (who btw bought a Chanel bag recently. Tsk tsk..). She loves it and I’m happy Canon G11 now has an owner who will take good care of her. Hehe.
Boot was clearly bored in my house and she wrote this on my laptop. It’s hilarious not only because of the story, but because Boot, well…she wasn’t really the best student in Malay language back in school. Sofia was. HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Now THAT’S funny.
Ok. *compose myself*
Anyway, I present to you…

Saya Sebiji Kamera by Boot.
Saya sebuah (!) kamera bernama Canon G11 Powershot.
Ibu bapa berasal dari Negara Jepun tetapi saya berasa bahawa saya dilahirkan di China. Saya disumbat ke dalam kotak bersama-sama rakan-rakan yang lain. Selepas pengembaraan atas sebuah kapal terbang (atau feri, saya tak sure), saya sampai di perairan Malaysia dan terus dihantar ke sebuah tempat bernama FotoZoom di Kuala Lumpur.
Pada suatu hari, seorang perempuan cantik berjalan masuk ke dalam kedai dan mengangkat saya dari ‘display case’ (kotak tayangan?). Mataku merenung kepadanya dan matanya kepada saya. Pada saat itu, saya pasti bahawa perempuan ini merupakan ‘soulmate’ (rakan roh?) saya. Dia membeli saya dan membawa saya pulang ke rumahnya dan juga membawa saya keluar untuk berjumpa dengan kawan-kawan karibnya semasa mereka berjumpa untuk ‘tea’. Saya berasa sangat gembira!
Walaubagaimanapun, beberapa bulan kemudian, tuan saya pulang ke rumah dengan kamera baru…namanya Leica. Dia telah mengganti saya! Oh tidak! Lebih-lebih lagi, Leica itu sangat buruk tetapi tuan saya menyayanginya lebih kerana dia sangat kurus. Alasan yang diberikan oleh tuan saya adalah saya terlalu gemuk untuk muat dalam beg ‘clutch’ nya. Sekarang, masa depan saya terletak di dalam tangan kawannya, Boot. Saya berharap bahawa Boot bersetuju untuk membawa saya pulang kerana saya sangat ‘depressed’ di rumah tuan saya.

HAHAHAHA.
Ok, I get it, Boot. I’m a horrible person. No more new stuff.
But really, your BM is improving!! So proud of you.
oh my god! im so envy of you. i need a new camera too, but got no money lorr. 😀
btw, LEICA is super cute, although i nvr heard of her b4. 🙂
hi pd, first time reading yr blog and i was hooked! found myself looking through yr archive for previous posts as well hehe not yet officially a stalker but slowly getting there 🙂
neway, do update on the handling of the leica, was actually contemplating to get me one of those but havent fully made up my mind yet, still in the process of collecting reviews :p
Vivy, where do u normally buy the leica? i reckon there’s not much shop is selling such camera.
Leica? i can’t wait until i get a job and have enough money to buy one.
btw, karangan itu sangat kelakar. it reminds me of those essays during primary school 😀
I was only government educated for 6 years (primary) and I can totally write better than that! Cheh wah. Perasan pula.
TAYANGAN?? Dear oh dear. I think PAMERAN would be a better suited word, no? Tayangan is for movies! Xp
Btw, my mum has the EXACT same camera. Leicas make me look so ugly. =( I still am pro-canon.
Pity the camera…”Saya ‘disumbat’ ke dalam kotak”..LOL
Haha i can’t stop laughing reading the essay.
Rakan roh is the funniest! HAHAHAHAHAHA
i heart canon more than others but i bought ricoh…yes, because its slimmer…hahahaha!
waaa..take care of your new baby..hehe..can’t wait to see new pixies snapped by the camera..have fun exploring the new cam PD=)
hahaha rakan roh!! epic..
i thought u are gonna write it Malay! Maybe u should try?! 🙂
i thought u are gonna write in Malay! Maybe u should try?! 🙂
Vivy, if u don’t mind, can i knw wat’s d cost of d Leica & wher did u get it frm? (i reckon not all camera outlets have it). And, how do u find d camera handling & pic quality so far? It looks sooo slim…am planning to get a new camera pretty soon!
Thanx dear.
Did u look at Panasonic LX3? it is said to have/be the same/similar to Leica, since features etc are quite similar ie lens etc. Except LX3 is cheaper than a Leica, which probably explains why I went and got the LX3 (apart fr marvelous pics :p). How’s the cam so far?
Oh btw, did u delete ur shoutbox? I was gonna drop a msg abt ur fren’s wedding the one w the elephants etc. It’s on Nona today, I remembered seeing the couple and the gajahs on ur blog :p
betol2 mcm my niece punye karangan & bcoz she’s in chinese school so her karangan sume mmg direct translation haha
Haha, you’ve got a funny friend (Boot) over here..a trip back to memory lane indeed..I remembered doing these type of essays where usually the endings would always be depicted as the demise of that particular object (be it a camera, car, guitar etc)..hopefully it’ll be a happy one for the Canon camera… 😉
Wah, big investment for Leica ni, it known by product and picture quality..
Nasib our Lumix with Leica lens.. yeah!
// We cant beat ur Compact Camera laa.. ouchhh..
kalau ada sesiapa bagi percuma kepada saya kamera Leica V Lux 20, saya akan menjualnya kepada sesiapa yang berminat.
V!!! Where’s the sample picture from the new camera?? You’d usually post it up and show us all how good the quality is…….. 😀
Ooh, a Leica. I’ve heard so many good things about it – let us know how it goes! 🙂
just to answer some qs, the Leica’s about RM2800…pretty expensive for a compact camera, BUT most of the shops also do installment programs to ease our burdens 🙂 I think most of the photo shops sell Leica, if not, you can ask them to order.
I personally think Leica is the best, but I’m very biased. Now I have so much pressure to produce good photos on my blog! hahaha but hello, i’m not a good photographer ok, so expect failed photos.
yep, lumix uses leica lens. so you’d get the same kind of quality i think.
I bought my first Leica last year, while doing a last minute raya shopping at Pavilion. It’s great, easy to handle, sleek design, bla bla bla, suffice to say, I LOVE MY LEICA!
Hahaha. Good short essay. It’s hilarious, especially those words written in English.
Such a big investment in Leica. Ouchh.. I’m G11 user too 😀
Really want to get one few months ago. But everyone suggest i get a canon. I will really invest in one soon. But i am a camera idiot is it easy to use? point and shoot type? Please let me know 🙂
HAHAHAHA Love reading the essay! I must say ‘rakan roh’ was the best part! Lol
LOL!! Kotak tayangan?? This is why i love PD and her friends and opah too. Hilarious to boot.
ahhhh theres no going back once u have a leica!! my hubbs memang gila leica … now he is aiming for the x1!! heheheh dia kata theres nothing like it!!! have fun with it babes!
hello vivy, is the leica alot better than the canon?
