Tripod Tangle

Got me a new toy today. Have been wanting to get a tripod for sometime now (so that my trusty Sony won't be so lonely. haha) Happened to be around section 14 today so I decided to pop into Digital Mall to go hunting for one. Most of them looked expensive so I didn't bother to ask.  Stumbled into Avers and found one which I thought wah....not bad huh only RM39. To be sure I asked the sales guy whether it could be used for all cameras. He confidently replied YES. It's all standard one...So I confidently bought it. Right, so when I tried putting my DSLR on it just now, I realised that there was no screw cap at the bottom to fasten my camera. I tried looking for an instruction manual but it was no where to be found. Only then did I realise that hmmm....maybe this is for a point and shoot. I guess it still works just that, it'll probably take me an hour to screw it on. =)

Looking for a nice cheap compact camera

Wow! I've not posted in a month! I must be really really...busy. hehe. Have been thinking about getting a small mini compact camera for my blogging activities. Something small enough for me to slip into my pocket and carry around. Cause you never know when the "konica" moment may arrive. =) The camera on my phone sucks big time. It's might as well be 0.000003 megapixels with the kind of quality I get from it. And my DSLR is too big to lug along. So I thought hmmmm....why not get a compact camera? That way I can still take quality pics and it's small enough to carry around. The only thing is that I don't really want to spend very much $$$ on it, something simple would do. Any suggestions? Some might ask, why not get a good camera phone. Well, I'm open to that but aren't they expensive?
