RICOH or PANASONIC?

thick cloud layer soon after the typhoon...

The big typhoon ＃18 made landfall to mainland Japan with full force after 2 years. In Tokyo, caused a traffic disturbance; all flights were grounded, most trains stopped during morning commute on Thursday. I was ok because I had a room near the office from the night before. Thank you for always caring about me.

Well, Ive got a new camera, Panasonic Lumix, just before my Kyoto trip. actually I've been wanting to get one and talked about it with Elle and Bartek. they both recommended me to get Lumix and I did. haha As Im not a good photographer, often jiggle my hand. At the shop I tried to shoot pics by shaking cameras. In fact, Lumix was good to avoid blurring of images due to hand movement.

 I decided to get FX60 as its new and lightest of all. I also loved its bordeaux color. If you are a big fan of  Ayumi Hamasaki, must buy.

Its my first Barbie which I came across at a discount chain store, Don Quixote for 999 yen (I prefered toy cars, action figures and fake guns to dolls in my childdhood)

seems to be a limited edition!!

well, try comparing pics to see which camera you like.

As somebody told me, Ricoh is not good to shoot pics inside.Let me know how do you think.
as far i failed to take pics of stars at press conferences so often. hope it will get better!!

BTW after checking out Grease Barbie on websites....

 I realized that it was sold at yahoo auction for 8000yen!!!!  I got it at the shop for an eight of what it costs there. the dress-up doll looks fun to play with, but I should keep it in a safe place in expectation of higher price. hehe
