Using my camera phone to take snaps is the farthest my experience in photography can go.
But having to take shots indoors most of the time, it really intrigued me if it is just my phone's cam or my indoor lights are really that bad.
So I thought getting a better camera, or should I say, I real camera will do the trick.

It gets me a little interested in cameras right now, but I know myself too well this interest is easily going to pass.
So I did a few (I maybe understating) searching for good camera, a DSLR is definitely too much and then a compact point-it-shoot might be enough but I am actually looking for something more, let's say... 2013.

Here are the things I considered:
- good aesthetics (for a non photographers this might be a really big factor)
- works well in a low-lit environment
- Wi-Fi connectivity

And of course that's just among the few other things that a camera should actually do.
Here are the camera's I considered:

Pentax Efina

I'm not exactly as "kikay" as this sounds, but this is really cute and I am really a sucker for floral designs. So cute!
While it is obviously compact and beautiful, considering it's price at roughly P3,300, we wouldn't really expect this to be any better than my Xperia phone's camera.

2) PENTAX LS465

It has interchangeable skins. THAT is something you don't see everyday in a camera. It might be even one of its kind! Probably for the reason that nobody cares about no skins, but hey, I do.
Price is around P4,000 in online stores.

3) FujiFilm Finepix S2980

S2980 is the most advance among the three. What I love about it is that it looks like a DSLR--but smaller and with non-replaceable lenses. It's an advance point-and-shoot camera also called bridge cameras--advanced enough that I could not understand them. This one, I believe, is really affordable for it's kind, at around P7,000 (mall price).

I would have added Samsung WB250F in the list because I said I wanted Wi-Fi connectivity (and none of the above has it) but I discovered that it is possible for almost any digital camera to get Wi-Fi capabilities through Wi-Fi SDHC cards. (More on that soon)

Well that's a few thoughts I wanted to share. Will soon figure out which one suits me best! Enough nitpickling for today.
