Upon further research, I found out that these 3 cameras, mainly the Sony Cybershot HX5V, Canon Powershot SX210 IS and Panasonic Lumix TZ10 (ZS7), were being pitted against each other due to their similar features and their offerings. After reading the reviews, the Sony Cybershot HX5V was crossed out of my list due to its low audio performance. 

I've been looking at a lot of cameras online and I've mostly been drawn to Sony's cameras. Mostly because their features are exactly what I'm looking for. I used to stay away from Sony cameras before since our SD memory cards aren't compatible but I'm happy to report that Sony's new models now support SD/SDHC/SDHX media. 


Sony Cybershot H55 vs. Sony Cybershot HX5V/B

Both models actually have almost the same features. They both have 10x optical zoom (perfect for concerts, which is exactly what I'm looking for). The H55 has 14.1 megapixels while the HX5V/B has 10.2 megapixels. 10 megapixels is actually good enough for me, anything bigger and it eats up a lot of memory space. What caught my eye with the HX5V/B is the "Exmor R" CMOS technology it has. According to the website "the "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor brings out the full resolving power of the camera's wide angle G lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain" 

After comparing the two, I'm now leaning more on the HX5V/B.


Sony Cybershot TX5

Definitely the best camera for summer since its waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, freezeproof. The feature that attracts me most to this model is definitely the underwater mode and how tiny and slim it is!

 

 I went to Rockwell earlier and finally bought the Soak bikini I've been obsessing over with! I've been looking for a nice black bikini for ages now and I'm glad I finally got it out of my system. 


I love passing by Wisdom since their clothes are pretty awesome and affordable and they also have Renegade Folk over there. I've been looking for a nice pair of oxfords/brogues for a while now and after seeing pictures online, I finally saw "This Charming Man" in the flesh. It was actually better in person and cheaper too than the pair I originally wanted which was "Stuck in a Moment". 



I was skeptic at first because of the color and if I'll be able to match it with my other clothes, but it really is pretty and made from canvas and leather, which makes it a pretty comfortable find! I guess for this pair, its best to sleep on it! I'll never know where I'll be able to spot a good find.

1. Soak Bikini

I already bought a bikini from Soak at the last Urban Bazaar, but I want one more since their bikini's make me look 10lbs slimmer! It was my first bikini with Soak and I know this is the start of a bikini love affair with them!

2. Board Shorts
I've been looking for a nice pair of "neon-ish" boardshorts for quite some time now and I found it here at toppicks.multiply.com



3. Bodycon dress
I'm currently obsessed with bondage dresses right now and hbyglicaros.multiply.com has the best bodycon dresses!! 




I'm currently drooling over this particular style, "dolce"

4. Rash Guard
Yes, I want a rash guard. Why? well, just in case we plan a surfing trip! 

I finally found my "concert cam"
