Olympus Pen E-P2.




Reasons Why You Think You Should Invest in This Camera:

1. Your current camera is awesome. BUT has a widely unappreciated battery life, proven by the many moments ruined by moans from yourself and friends when an event calls for a photo, and it decides to die out then and there.


2. You have a drawer full of used batteries. This is quite wasteful, in terms of money, and in saving the environment. Basically, speaking from experience, a packet of about eight double A batteries costs me 30 Egyptian Pounds. And a pair of those burn out in an hour. About 5 or so packets later, I purchased rechargeable batteries that promised me eight hours of battery life. Only to feel cheated later when the battery only managed to hum the melody 'Stayin' Alive' to my current camera for no more than two hours. That was okay. If the battery didn't last an hour, and then half an hour after its next recharge.

And finally, all the batteries will get thrown away. Coz lets face it. What else can you do with them?


3. You're wayyy to lazy to lug around a huge SLR, moreover when even your preference over large-sized bags can't help you in easing the burden. Coz the huge-ass camera still won't fit. BUT you still want a camera with manual settings and is close to being an SLR camera coz you don't see any point in owning two point and shoot camera, despite your former one causing problems.

4. You want a stylish camera. No more elaboration needed. 

5. However badly you want to train yourself into becoming at the very least, near-professional, in the field of photography, you simply don't have that enough time, or even if you did, you just don't have enough patience to practice.

6. Your parents own an acceptably amazing SLR camera, and whenever you feel the itch to use one. Borrow theirs. All they do is set that camera on Auto anyway. LOL.


So, should I? Should I? I think I should but... not right now. Maybe next year. I need to save up especially after splurging on an iPod Classic and an Instax. But for now, I'm gonna need to prepare a year's worth of batteries. PEACE!
