Dalam Kenangan.....Canon Powershoot A300

Sebenarnya sebelum aku membeli kamera DSLR yang sekarang ni, aku pernah memiliki sebuah kamera digital dari jenama Canon jugak pada tahun 2004. Canon PowerShot A300. Kamera "compact" ini aku beli dengan harga RM 899.00. Tapi sungguh sedih..kasihan...tak lama umur kamera ni dengan aku..1 tahun kemudian....kamera ini sudah di ke "dinding" kan oleh aku...sebab mudah sangat rosak. Dengan sekali hayun sahaja...PRANGGGG!!!!...mencium dinding kamera ini dan tiba-tiba aku kagum....kuat juga binaan kamera ini. Tak hancur habis tu...aku terpaksa mengcampak kan nya sebanyak 3 kali..baru hati aku puas. Seminggu kemudian....AKU MENYESALLL....
