Its coming! Thursday the first day and I’m planning to go check out the prices and packages on Thursday and if I need, I’ll go home study the price and go get the gadgets over the weekend or something.
What I need from the show?
- A new compact camera, cos the Z3 I have now sucks at low light condition. How to take nice nice photos like that? Cannot be bringing my Nikon D40 out everyday right? But I still haven’t done my research to see which model is the best for my needs wor. Any recommendation from anyone? (Or anyone wants to sponsor me one?) I need this camera to take almost as good shots as my DSLR and allows me to take good quality videos too. Best if uses SD card as xD and memory stick are just too expensive to buy spares.
- A new printer, cos the one at home is spoiled! This one best if comes free with the camera purchase. If not, I may give this a miss first. Still can survive without it for now.
- A mobile broadband from Starhub, cos I need one more for my macbook and also cos abang can get it at 50% discount. Hope they got something more during the show to entice me more to get it.
- A stylish carrier for my macbook, cos I’ll probably be bringing it everywhere I go if I should get #3 above. If #3 is not enticing enough, than I’ll probably not need this.
I’m on a super tight budget (like I’d always been). But seriously need to get the above, at least #1 the camera, both for work and play.
What about you? Planning to check out anything at the coming IT Show? 6th to 9th March at Suntec City.

2Re #1: I got the Canon Ixux 860 or something close to that (oops) and i find under good lighting, it takes shots comparable to my D40x (but then, that’s probably because i’m not a great photographer. lol!)
Re #3: I got the starhub mobile broadband late last year. best decision of my online/connected life. blogging on the bus home = awesomeness.

3Daryl, any shots taken with the Canon to share? I’ve not been following the latest gadgets for awhile. Lost touch liao.
My only concern with the starhub mobile is whether or not I’ll become even more obsessed with my life online than in real life wor. Now already I’m online almost 95% of my waking hours! 5% goes to travelling, showering, and when I’m eating.

4Do check for Mac-compatible printer, panasonic digicam for low light and try to steal a vaio carrier..
Ok.. joking just now.. Canon printers should be fine but preferably small with copy function, else HP toaster-box ones also not bad..do avoid epson or brother if you want reliability and quality.
Panasonic digicams (i have seen many friends carrying pink ones and the prices are affordable) are good in low light but I have seen customers saying casio digicams are better for that.
Can try to seek out vaio carriers, one type is black and slim, the other one is colorful (cajole a best denki staff to allow u to buy..keke). Maybe macbook in vaio carrier not so cool but.. just a recommendation =p
I normally avoid nec/packard bell at all costs for pc/notebook. No offence to anyone so don’t flame me please.
