We are now seriously thinking about buying a digital camera. Because we don't want to go to a shop and buy the first camera that catches our eyes, I bought a magazine especialized in digital cameras. But... With all the reviews, and comparisons and features, we are now more confused that we were at the beginning, when we were totally naive and innocent about this. All this information is driving me crazy. Should we buy the Canon Powershot A95? It looks all right and the reviews on the internet seem good..although some reviewers talk about 'purple fringing' with this camera. What in the hell is that??!! I didn't even know something like that could exist. Which proves the more you know..the more complicated life is. Is it better not to have the knowledge and live your life with rose-tinted glasses? Or is it better to know and spend your life questioning everything? Ah you see, philosophy is not an old fashioned subject. It is there with you, even when buying a digital camera!


Estamos considerando seriamente la posibilidad de comprar una camara digital. Y como no queremos ir a una tienda y comprar la primera camara que caiga a la vista, compre una revista especializada en camaras digitales. Pero...con tanta informacion, comparaciones y especificaciones, ahora estamos mas confundidos que cuando empezamos a buscar, cuando eramos basicamente 'inocentes' en el mundo de las camaras digitales. Toda esta informacion nos esta volviendo locos. Que hacemos? Compramos la Canon Powershot A95? Parece que esta bien y las criticas en internet son buenas... aunque algunos usuarios hablan de 'purple fringing' con esta camara (porque leo las criticas en amazon en ingles). Y que carajo es 'purple fringing'? Ni siquiera sabia yo que existiera algo llamado asi. Lo que viene a demostrar que, cuanto mas sabes, mas se complica la vida. Es mejor no saber y vivir la vie en rose? O es mejor saber y pasarte la vida haciendo preguntas y cuestionandolo todo? Ya veis, no es verdad lo que dicen algunos de que la filosofia como asignatura esta pasada de moda y no se aplica al mundo de hoy en dia. Todo lo contrario. Se aplica a todo. Incluso a la compra de una camara digital!
