Haha. If you want something replaced, just lend it to your sibilings, then you can say, pa, ma, see spoilt. How? I need the camera. Then can get new one. Haha.
GMAN
Haha... I have yet got the chance cos my bro hates to carry a big camera ard. He only used the lumix dmc-tz3, which is a decent compact digicam.
immediate family also talk money? ouuccchhhh
i'm not a fussy user, so i dont mind lending out my stuff to people i think i can trust. they may not be pros or expert, but they understand the value of the equipment, and they are people who will feel bad about damaging or losing something and offer to replace/repair.
of course, if you buy equipment to be pampered, polished, and must be scratchfree, then better dont lend to anyone! so at least if there's any damage, no one to blame but yourself..haha
Ya... Not even my gf wants to touch my camera cos she knows that I buy it through my own hard earned money as she dun know anything about photography. It's my 2nd wife liao... Hahaha.
