Olympus Small DSLR - PEN E-P1


Oh my oh my, DSLR power at size of compact camera? Now Olympus has come out with a solution of powerful DSLR and HD Camcorder functions in 1 tiny camera body, officially with the model E-P1. Doesn't the white body looks nice and cool? I personally think so.

What about the feature? Not bad I would say (from the view of Canon 40D and 10D user)

  • 12.3 Megapixel Live MOS Sensor
  • Two new kit lenses (14-42mm M.Zuiko and 17mm F2.8 Pancake)
  • TruePic V image processor
  • 3.0" LCD screen (fixed, 230k dot resolution)
  • HD movies (720p) with stereo sound
  • Linear PCM sound recording
  • 3.0 fps sequential shooting
  • Built-in IS with max. 4 EV steps efficiency
  • Optional Adapters for all ZUIKO DIGITAL & OM lenses
  • Newly developed GUI for easier operation via Live Control
  • Automatic recognition of common scenes possible with i-Auto
  • Dual control dials
  • Face Detection & Shadow Adjustment
  • Art Filters, multi-aspect ratios, multi exposure
  • In-camera raw conversion (including application of Art Filters)
  • Small & stylish design
Below is the ISO test of the camera (full crop, not reduced). Someone in KL/PJ already tested it, from http://www.mycen.com.my







My verdict? At ISO 3200, it only lost little bit of details. but at ISO 6400, more details are lost and sharpness sure will decreased. If we see from overall view, the built in 4 stop stabilization is a winning point here.

Street Fighter : Chun-Li

This movie was over-hyped. Lousy story line, bad directing which leads to dull movie, actions is not enuff there, almost whole story was Chun-Li doing searching, simple dancing-style "stunt" and what's worse? End of story, Chun-Li was invited to Japan to see Ryu, which means there will be a second part after this lolz.

I wonder how long Kristen Kreuk will be able to help this Street Fighter movie selling after this.

I prefer Transformer 2 anytime if you ask me to choose between the 2 movies in terms of story, excitement, and character choice.

Noisy Moment in Village Mall

Just now went to Village Mall Starbucks for a chat with friends. Saw these few cars blasting their ICE (In Car Entertainment), just outside the Starbucks. Only 1 car acceptable (ya, acceptable, not good). What a joke was a car CD Player having problem playing the CD lolz. 1 car ICE system is overloading and the mid is cracking haha, still dare to play there.

I think my hand was shaking when I took the picture, due to didnt had dinner before went there, rarely my handphone camera get that kind of blur picture hehe.

Sorry folks for blur picture, I cannot expect better picture if I handheld it in hungry situation :P

Canon Digital SLR Lense : EF 55-200mm II USM

Old lense from Canon, but still a good lense. Focusing fast and accurate. Image quality not bad, at least better than my 18-55mm IS kit lense. Below are sample pictures that I took today.
