The Shashinki experience
As I mention in my previous post, I would be writing a short review on my experience purchasing my new gear with Shashinki.com
I was at my hometown when I wanted to purchase the 5D Mark II, there were no shops that sell such high end camera in the area. Thus, I look at shashinki.com and was tempted to try. If I am in PJ, I would’ve just gone to YS photography in SS2 or Aver Awards which offers a slightly more attractive package.
What to do, hand itchy. I won’t talk about the price, Shashinki is a little bit more expensive than the brick and mortar shops I asked earlier in KL, but I wanted to try the experience of buying from them. It was Monday night and I am leaving to South Korea early Saturday. So I need the items quickly. I emailed shashinki asking how soon can they deliver and the owner and infamous Dr. Koh Kho King replied that they will send it within 3 days else a full refund. I did not hesitate any longer and purchase it.

New Gear
I’ve been dreaming of getting a better camera for a long time now. Finally I got it.
Received it from Shashinki a day before I left to South Korea, but until today I have yet to try it out. I will be writing a review on my experience buying from Shashinki.com soon.
This is the gear that I bought.
Canon 5D mark II
Canon 24-105L F4 IS USM
BG-E6 Battery Grip for Canon 5D mark II
LP-E6 Spare Battery
2x SanDisk Ultra Compact Flash memory 30mb/s 8GB
Phottix Super Pro UV Digital filter
With this new gear, I hope to further improve my skills in portraiture and landscape. Will be saying goodbye to my old trusty Canon 450D kit soon.
Now I also need to do more job to cover the cost of this monster. The damage is damn high.
