I am still a novice when it comes to photography. So for all my products shots, they are being taken by my Canon PowerShot S95 point and shoot camera. The S95 has been with me for more than 11 years. Both the battery and the LCD screen started to show signs of aging. So I decided to retire it.

I then switch to my Sony NEX-3N which I bought seven years ago in 2014. However, the moment I turned it on after being left untouched for a few years (I stored it with the battery removed), the LCD screen showed multiple red lines. I mean, it is still usable, but it isn’t very pleasant to use it. I might also retire it eventually.

I was waiting for the rumored Apple AirPods Studio to be announced as I intended to get it. But after Apple announces the AirPods Max, I went ahead and bought the Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones instead.

At S$849, AirPods Max is not targeted at regular consumers. I am not an audiophile by any extent, so I would not spend that much money on headphones.

The last gadget that I bought in Japan is the Sony WF-1000XM3 Earbuds.

I bought it together with my GoPro accessories from Bic Camera at Aqua City Odaiba.

Apart from the Sony DualShock 4 Charging Station, the other item I bought is the official Sony PS4 Vertical Stand.

I bought it at the same place, Bic Camera Shinjuku West Store, for JP¥2,040 (S$26), excluding tax. In Singapore, the official retail price of it is S$36.90.

Was in Tokyo, Japan last week, and since I bought a new PS4 Pro, I decided to get some official accessories for it.

The first item I bought is the official
Sony DualShock 4 Charging Station from Bic Camera Shinjuku West Store for JP¥2,220 (S$28), excluding tax. In Singapore, the official retail price of it is S$46.90.

My first 11/11 purchase for 2019, Sony PS4 Pro God of War / The Last of Us Remastered Bundle.

The official retail price is S$619 on Lazada, but on 11/11, it drops further to S$559. On top of that, Sony Store on Lazada is throwing in an S$50 voucher for a minimum spend of S$500. To make the deal even sweeter, I have an S$10 Lazada voucher, and I paid using UOB, which gives me an additional S$10 discount.

Bought the Sony XB950B1 Extra Bass Wireless Headphones from Amazon for US$98 (S$132).

Its usual price is US$128 (S$173), but for Black Friday 2017, the price drops to US$98 (S$132). It previously qualifies for the free AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping and hence shipping to Singapore is free if your order is US$125 and above.

I always wanted to get the Sony E 30mm F3.5 Macro Lens (SEL30M35) ever since I bought the Sony NEX-3N from Amazon last year to do some closed-up product shots.

The SEL30M35 is retailing for S$399 in Singapore but I learned that it is much cheaper in Japan.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV will be available in Singapore from 16th July 2015 for S$1,399. It is the successor to the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III which was released last year in June 2014.

Despite it being a successor, the megapixel count and optical zoom range remains the same: 20.1MP and 2.9x respectively.
