The PC Fair was just like any other – hordes of eager Singaporean shoppers, with pamphlets generously strewn all over the floor and trampled upon.
I finally got my hands on an Olympus C5050 and decided that it felt all right. But I didn’t like the fact that I could get it for S$1299 elsewhere. Was it worth paying S$1514 for freebies I didn’t need? After all, I already have a tripod stand, a card reader, many memory cards – and Dad has a dry box.
I wanted to look at the Nikon cameras as well. Disappointingly, there was no Nikon booth (either that or shoot me, I’m blind). We spent half the time wading through the sea of people, and after picking up some HP Photo paper and blank CD-Rs we departed.
