Last time before owning my very first smart phone, I was drooling over it for more than 2 years. It was a kind of “I want it badly” feeling, a feeling that I know if I own a smart phone one day, I’ll love it very very very much, and I’ll feel very very satisfied.
Aaahi~~ people who can afford to own anything easily will not understand this complicated feeling one la hehe.
Then, when I saw the sneak pic of Sony Ericsson P1i, I knew that is the first smart phone that will make me feel very contented. Waited about 6 months for its release, and yes, I finally got my very first smart phone – SE P1i. Now, I’m already been loving my P1i for a year.
Already for some time, that I wish to upgrade my Lumix FZ30 to a middle range DSLR. I wish to have a DSLR which has solid body build (I really don’t mind the weight, but I do mind about the plastic feeling :p), good ergonomic design, LCD live view, tracking AF (preferably) and satisfying picture quality at ISO1200 (at least).
If I must buy (yes if I must) a DSLR now, then I will go for Canon 40D. Actually, I like Nikon D80, but it doesn’t have LCD live view and dust removal system. Ya, as I just said, I will only buy Canon 40D if I have no choice but to get a DSLR immediately now.
Which means, hehe… within my budget constraint, 40D is still not really my dream DSLR yet lo 
It doesn’t give me the feeling I had for Sony Ericsson P1i.
The Feeling Strikes Me Once Again
Picture by Chase Jarvis
Recently, the feeling strikes me once again! In the recent 2 weeks, I keep on googling for Nikon D90 (not a good sign). The moment I read the first leak-words article on Nikon D90, I started to develop a kind of “I really want it!” feeling, very similar to the feeling I had for P1i.
Now that the D90 is officially released, even worse, I’m bombarded and flooded with plenty of convincing articles suggesting that I’m aiming at the right target – totally qualified as my dream DSLR.
Why do I fall for D90?
D90’s ergonomic design is said to carry from and improve on D80. I’ve molested D80 before, and I really love the grasp.
Besides, Nikon D90 is using the same CMOS sensor found in D300!!! Yes, a CMOS sensor, not CCD.
Tracking AF, LCD live view, dust removal system… all fulfilled.
And to the surprise of many people, D90 is also supporting video-taking function, at 1280×720 resolution in AVI format!!!
Holy cow! Never will be teased for the inability to take video when carrying DSLR.
Further more, it also supports GPS tagging. But I’m wondering how badly will the battery power be draining if GPS tagging is enabled.
D90 is definitely the DSLR that I want. Yes, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want D90 
Defer Till Next Year
Aaaahi~~ still have to wait. I must defer my DSLR plan until my house renovation is completed. Nvm, for things that I want badly, I shall wait. Unless I won lottery (superbly low probability), or someone sponsoring me (lagi impossible).
