T Azahan 1 Report post Posted January 15, 2006 He called me at 3pm. Asked for opinion. "Bro, what do you think, Camera A or B?". I said without any hesitation "Go for A brader..... A!!!!!". Then he said " But if i buy B i could save RM900 and could then spend on lense as well". Then i said "I only know Camera A. I am not sure about Camera B. So A brader.....A!!! Buy long lense later laaa and for a start u need a good body!!! and i can lend you my bazooka at 4pm later at 32L." I even offered to call my good friend who owns camera shop and my friend also said "Go for A. B is also good but if you can afford A, buy A straight away!!!" And finally after few teleconversation with him, i am happy he has got himself an A. And i would forgive him wholeheartedly if he ever told his wife that i was the culprit or devil advocate. Then I met him at 32L with Fendy, Gavin and MEOR while waiting for Emperor Jonathan to come in from BKK. Here, presenting our good buddy (posing with full satisfaction) Uncle Noman and his new toy........DELTA SEVENTY- ER (Extended Range) or in short D70S. At least his is an ER version with centre tank and higher gross take off weight. Mine doesn't have those. Welcome to the Dark Side Uncle Norman. May the force will always be with you when u kaching kaching kaching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman 1 Report post Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) wah. Senyum nampak Norman!! 25005[/snapback] Of, course... who doesn't? Just don't think of the credit card bill coming by the end of month and you're alright with the new toy... As for the wife... it was after a long discussions, and some persuasions and convincing powers, she tagged along, but stopped at jewellery shop first... no.. she didn't trade in her bracelets for the Delta70... don't get me wrong she got another.. Price of gold now is higher... and I, after browsing a golf shop for a good driver (Hazani: hint..), stepped into camera shop (where else ).. and there... B on the shelf, with only A's pamphlet. So I hold B, in my hand... play a little bit and the shop assistant went into backroom... Out came the only ONE D70s in this side of town.. He said "If you hold this one, you dont want to play with B..." I hold the D70s... and fell in Then its 3pm..... the rest is history... BTW... Jonathan also played a part by lending me his darkside while spotting last couple of weeks... Edited January 15, 2006 by Norman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted January 15, 2006 Phew... lucky you Norman with all the advise. Just if you got that camera B, the one with SD I think, you will regret it soon. But since you're on the dark side, nothing compares to the A+130 (or B + 150). But then again, it is the one pressing the buttons that count. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Azahan 1 Report post Posted January 15, 2006 my frank advise norman......dont read the manual too much. read the essentials like what the buttons are for. because good pictures come from your inner feelings and instincts.......the right moment to click. good settings dont necessarily give you good shots. i am still so excited you got yourself an ER.
