I bought the P1 for my brother in law yesterday! wierd! 17K for camera. 2.5K for 1GB card.

Sam Kapasi · 21st October 2005, 17:02

I paid 12.5K for the camera (special deal) and 1.5K for a 512 SD card

navin · 21st October 2005, 17:05

how come you get special deals on everything! 12.5K is a fantastic price, i saw it for 13K. The P1 is 8 mega though. can you get a special deal on a alpine 450 amp! :-) ha ha ha LOL. JB says it cost 25K. Maybe I should talk to Aseem!

Aseem might source it for 15K. But then (in Navin's words) that is a story for another thread.

Sorry about that guys, we are the infamous derailers.

After that short non commercial break, it's now back to "what camera you have" on the Team BHP channel.

is a Panasonic DMC-Fz5 which i bought here in tokyo.

Did a lot of search and resaerch and got this camera cost me more cos i wanted an internation warranty.. i paid arnd 600USD inclusive of the pouch+ 512 mem card.

The camera is light and is gud for capturing still images and the camera operation is quite simple and user friendly.

Here is the site and it is an useful site if you wanna chk out other cameras aswell.

I am a diehard Pentax Fan. Can't part my older Takumar lenses from film era for a digital body nor I have the funds. So, my choice was simple, Pentas *ist DS (anyone have a better name for a camera !) plus 2x 1 GB Sd cards.

I can still use my lenses across my film and digital body. No digital lenses yet due to lack of funds!

I am happy bunny!!

tsk1979 · 21st October 2005, 23:01

Wowee! I ordered the same camera but the online retailer bungled it(in US) so i did not buy it then. Where did you buy it from, and how much!?

artofzen · 28th October 2005, 14:18

Just got a Sony DSC-H1 from japan.

tifosikrishna · 28th October 2005, 14:56

hi Rudra, you photo says it all.... Owning a 1D is a dream for me. Currently I own a 300D, 18-55mm kit lens, a 50mm f1.8 prime and a 55-200mm telephoto and a tripod.Planning to add a few more lens and a decent flash.

With your kind of range of lenses, I would have gone for a flash only.

manson · 28th October 2005, 15:59

just bought a nikon 5900 5.1 mp camera yesterday alongwith 1 gb memory stick, and a big thanks to rudra for helping me out with gadgets that are, rather were alien to me.

manson.

tifosikrishna · 28th October 2005, 16:16

ya, my first priority is getting a decent flash (canon flash 430-EX), apart from it I am looking at 17-40mm Canon L glass. Its all too expensive for me, but its on my wish list. Apart from that I am planning to buy 'LEARNING TO SEE CREATIVELY' by Bryan Peterson. By the way are you aware of any place in bangalore where i can get this book.

Rudra Sen · 28th October 2005, 18:19

Check out Strand Book Store at Manipal Center. Gangaram Book Store at MG Road. And of course Landmark in your own city.
