I dunno why they like to confuse me when they cannot convince me...

This is an update of post from here. My old camera, the Black Princess. Currently discontinued. Although it's now obsolete, but it still have a high place in our family being the ONLY camera that we have. Me and sisters use to juggle the usage of it between us being me the most frequent user.

Thanks to Cubie who found this picture for me.

When I first bought it, jamban baru and all, I use it to snap everything around me that doesn't move and 1/2 of the things that move. Back then, almost everyone has a camera and whenever the food was served, it must be blessed with a few snap shots before we can eat. I loved taking food pictures. But after awhile the novelty wore off cause, I like to eat the food more than snapshot it. Besides I like to eat and I eat frequently. If I got the habit of snapping every food I consume, I will have more food pictures than any other pictures. Nowadays I get a kick out of watching the Canon IXUS series in action. It has this powerful red blinking light than shines on the everything that it focuses, it looked like it was scanning the food for poison or something before snapping a picture.

Note the Black Prince has this slope at its right side. It's an ergonomically designed to fit to the curve of your hand when you take photo or the curve of your pockets when you pocket it. Nowadays trouser pockets are squarish at the base but last time they used to sew pockets that taper to the end like a con so the camera would have fit perfectly!

But I guess this version is not very popular nor the design very main stream as it was discontinued shortly and you don't really see this model frequently. In fact I never seen another soul besides me who used this camera. Cool huh! What can I say, I like weird stuff.
