Haha, capturing the moon was the first thing that came to my mind when I found out how cool the zoom is :) I will definitely try it out when I get an opportunity ;) With my previous phones, taking pictures of the moon was a big no no :D Just tiny little blurred dots :D I can see that 17,000 Filipino pesos is like 290 USD. Similar price as here. But I guess the purchasing power is lower in your country. Or is such phone affordable over there?
