As I want to move into mild-minimalist lifestyle, of course I got to sell off some of my cameras.
The first to go was Olympus XA. Then, the second one was Contax TVS, which I managed to sell it last month, ‘losing’ about SGD 150.
I’ll just take this $150 as the rental fee of using this camera. Fortunate buyer, it’s a nice lady and she told me she saw my Contax TVS video (shy).
It’s kind of quite embarrassing yet happy at the same time that people watch my videos/blog and I sincerely hope my contents add values to readers/viewers’ life.
Anyway, I think I shall commemorate my beloved Contax TVS by displaying some photos shot by it during our 9-month long love-hate-affair.

Overall, Contax TVS is a decent camera if you’re not a fussy owner. It does its job shooting, it has auto-advancing, normal flash, timer, zoom lens, auto-focus, panorama function, aperture priority or programme mode. However, to be honest, the auto-focus is not 100% accurate. But you will have a grasp of it if you use it long enough.
If you don’t want to buy the super expensive Contax T2, which the price is like almost SGD1000 now, you can consider Contax TVS, or maybe Contax G2. Or, Olympus mju ii!!!!
