PIKOM PC Fair 2010 Photographs

Monday, August 9th, 2010 | Event, Gadgets | 4 Comments

I made it to the Pikom PC Fair as planned, accept that I woke up a little late. Thanks to Azam who managed to wake me up by repeatedly calling me many times.

Technology wise, theren’t anything new, now days you get the same old thing that we see the previous PC Fairs. I was more interested in the PC Babes :). But unfortunately, there weren’t many, and those who were there are not my taste. It seems that every year, the PC Babes are becoming younger and younger. I’m not sure whether these girls are employed legally.

This time they featured alot of DSLR and Digital Cameras, I found the dual screen cameras interesting.

Below are the photos taken during the event.

iPhone 4 Review

Friday, July 2nd, 2010 | Gadgets | 5 Comments

A colleague of mine suggested that I talk about the newly launched iPhone 4g that is the in thing at the moment. The first day it was launched, 1 million pieces were sold. But the same time it was launched, a couple of hours later the Disadvantage list appeared everywhere online. So let’s see what’s so good about this iPhone 4.

FaceTime

This is a feature of the latest iPhone 4 where you can have a video call with your network. The advantage is that you can connect to any wireless internet network and instantly call your friends without needing to cost you anything. Intereting.

Two cameras, two view

iPhone 4 has two cameras. One on the front, which focuses on you. And one on the back, which focuses on everything else. FaceTime lets you switch back and forth between them at any time during a video call. All you have to do is tap a button.

Retina Display

The Retina display on iPhone 4 is the sharpest, most vibrant, highest-resolution phone screen ever, with four times the pixel count of previous iPhone models. In fact, the pixel density is so high that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Which makes text amazingly crisp and images stunningly sharp.

Multitasking

iPhone 4 introduces a whole new way of multitasking. Now you can run your favorite third-party apps and switch between them instantly without slowing down the performance of the foreground app or draining the battery unnecessarily.

HD Video Recording

The iPhone 4 takes video in High Definition (HD), there is also a software to edit HD Videos. You’ll need to download an application iMovie for this feature, and yes, you have to pay extra for it.

5MP camera with LED flash

Finally some sense into the creator of iPhone. The older versions came without the flash, which was a pain in the neck. Disappointingly, they only made it 5MP, instead of most smart phones which are now up to 12MP.

The following are ads for mobile phones, thought I’d share as it is very creative.

FYI, AT&T is a cell phone carrier. Using just hands and a phone, American carrier recreates a popular idea of painting hands into the colours of different countries. Enjoy the hand paintings.

Canon EOS 550d

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 | Gadgets | 4 Comments

I’m currently looking at a good DSLR camera. The one I’m using now belongs to my mum, which is a Sony Cybershot. The photos taken with it are quite impressive, you can check them out at www.thristhan.com. My uncle once convinced me that it’s not the tool that is important, it’s the person who’s taking the photographs and his skills at framing a photo which is much more important. I do agree with him strongly.

I still remember for my 12th Birthday, my parents bought me a camera (well, also because I did quite well at the exams). It was a standard film camera that ran with 2 AA batteries. It had a flash also. The photo quality used to be bad, the color the camera tooked was not impressive, but it did teach me alot on the angles that you should consider in photography. My dad also had alot of books on photography which I spend days checking them out (well, have to admit that the nude girls in there motivated me).

The more I’m interested in photography, the more sensitive I become in the photographs that I take. I become more fussy and realise that the color in certain photos is not as good as a DSLR camera can capture. With that, I’m planning to purchase a good equipment for my photography. Will start with a Camera body and Standard Lense.

A friend suggested that as a beginner, I should try Sony Alpha ranges. But I thought if I’m going to invest in a good camera, might itself go for a better range. So with all the advertising I see on TV and reviews on YouTube, I’ve decided that the Canon EOS 550d is a good DSLR camera to start with.

Before I proceed with purchasing this camera, I would like to hear from you guys whether this is a good choice. I roughly know the benefits of the Canon EOS 550d, Looking forward to some bad reviews on it that will be my deciding factor.

The DSLR Canon EOS 550d comes with 18 Megapixels and advanced DIGIC 4 image processor. It also has enhanced in-camera noise reduction technology to boost performance in low light conditions. Canon EOS 550D features a 9-point Auto Focus (AF) system with one extra-sensitive cross-type point at the centre for f/2.8 or faster lenses. The Canon EOS 550d also supports continuous shootings at 3.7 frames per seconds (FPS). The camera also records videos in High Definition (HD).

Canon EOS 550D features Summary
• 18 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
• DIGIC 4 processor with ISO 100-6400 (Expansion to 12800)
• Continuous shooting at 3.7fps
