I was tossing and turning and yet couldn&#8217;t get into dreamland, hmm, got up disconnected the charging battery which suppose to be charged for minimum of 4 hours, fixed it back to the cam and started play with my new toy- my canon 400D.<br \/>\nWell some of you guys might think that its just a 400D and why do I need to blog it and boast to the world. If such question raised in your mind, think again, what was the initial purpose of blog:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal <a title=\"Online diary\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Online_diary\">online diaries<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>that&#8217;s what said <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blog\">here<\/a>. I express my joy, pain, anger and dissatisfaction and rants here, hence i don&#8217;t find anything wrong to blog about this. I don&#8217;t know is it just my people&#8217;s mentality or is it just me, lolz.<br \/>\nAnyway, this is my 1st shot from my new Canon 400D.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/s142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r118\/vickyguy\/blog%20picture\/?action=view&amp;current=IMG_0012.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r118\/vickyguy\/blog%20picture\/IMG_0012.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"my 1st shot from canon 400D\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Lord Ganesha and Goddess Durga on the mini Aum shrine in my car<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>For a clearer view, click <a href=\"http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r118\/vickyguy\/blog%20picture\/IMG_0012-1.jpg\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>p\/s: I did not intend to write a review or comparison on the two products. it was my personal preferences when I was making my decision.
