From the old and defective Canon A420, my sister came home with the new and stylish Sony DSC-T2 at hand.
Our Canon cam before had a one-year warranty, which we thought is enough. But after 8 months, we noticed its poor performance and malfunction. We can’t take pictures in bright areas (daytime or with light) anymore because it will only result to overexposure (as in OVEREXPOSE!). You will also notice white lines when taking pictures at night or with flash.
Since it was still under warranty, we brought it to the only Canon service center here in Davao, Philippines and it undergone a one-month repair in Manila. They even told us that it may be sent to Malaysia if it has major defects but we’re not worried about it because even the freight charge is free unless it’s under warranty. Compared to Canon’s, Sony compact cameras and handycams have three years warranty, which we felt assured with it.
Talking about price, Sony’s T2 has the biggest leap of price. From 27k 5 months ago, now it’s only very affordable and budget-friendly price of 14k. So, it’s like decreasing it almost half the price. There were also rumors that Sony will discontinue the production of T2, which is quite disappointing since the camera is really affordable and its design and features are amazing.
This T2 is just an addition to our Sony gadgets. We have just bought a Sony handycam DCR-DVD710. My sister is also planning to buy DSLR next month for my Photography class and I’m so excited with it. Just an entry level DSLR for a begginer, maybe Canon 450D, 1000D or Nikon D80. Whoo! I also had a hard time in choosing what’s the best among the three.
