After some many months of denial … telling myself not to get the Digital Harinezumi … finally something bad happened.
If the info I got is correct, these white ones are only available in Japan during the Superheadz’s Magical Camera Tour ‘Digital Rising Festival 09’. I knew there was trouble when I saw the white one with the cat on it. Oh no! It’s cute and I love cats! Oh no! A friend in Japan offered to get it for me because he has some stamps thingie (I think you need to attend some of their events to collect stamps to be eligible to buy) but fortunately the guys in 8storeytree told me they will be bringing in very limited ones for sale here. The ones coming to Singapore are only the ones with the cat printed. Bingo! That’s what I wanted! They do have a new name for this white version (instead of Digital Harinezumi) but I somehow can’t remember what it is. I think it starts with the letter ‘B’. Hmmm … Digital BloodyTemptingCamera? Huh?
I’ve seen some way cool retro looking videos taken with it and definitely hope I can have lots of fun playing with the video feature on it. The best part is you can actually tweak the colors on it (check it out here) and that solves the pretty yucky purple/blue tint that I saw on some sample photos.
Can’t wait for the white cat one to arrive … so meanwhile … I’ll just drink less beer so save some money to buy it.
