Getting There!



Well...16 days until I leave for Scotland. Not much to say really...I paid my bill and almost had a heart attack! I knew what the cost would be but it didn't make it any easier. My bill was also over the price they gave us...I didn't expect anything less from Chubb Hall however. 

I'm at my Aunt and Uncle's house right now (justindishong.blogspot.com). Jay's dad and brother are visiting and have brought some new toys from Sony (Where Jay's dad works). I just test drove the new Sony Alpha 300...the smaller brother to the 350. 

10.2 megapixels with some nice options. I played for a bit, and didn't get too professional with it. Since Sony bought Konica-Minolta I was comfortable with the body, noticing many familiar Minolta options. Lightweight and neat is all I really have to say and I wouldn't expect anything less from Sony. The camera was pretty easy to learn and I think will do well on the consumer market. 

I also have to thank Jay's dad for giving me the new 8GB Sony Compact Flash card with 306x write speed. I remember long ago...like a whole year....when 133x was super fast and everyone paid $500 to get one. This card is retailing close to $180....WOW!!!

I'll be posting some pics soon with the new card!
