Me, Myself and my Cameras

Well, recently i have been tempted by many offers to upgrade my camera set from D70s to a D200/D300 fully equipped with underwater casings etc. To all my friends who offered me such good deals, thank you but sorry i can't. I have been thinking long and hard about this and in the end i decided to stick to my original gear until such time when i can produce as good pictures as i once did before 'i lost myself'. My trusty D70s was used last time to create my greatest shots so although technology has come so far and it obsolete now, i will not forsake it. In fact i have already upgraded from my legendary 90mm Tamron to the powerful 105mm nikkor so my pics should even be better right? For my UW shots, my old canon S1 IS casing has really died. It's lens coating has worn out and there is nothing i can do to salvage it. Was thinking of upgrading to G11 etc as i couldn't find the casing for my existing G9. In the end, i went to canon directly and LUCKY! they had 2 casings l...

iPhone Hardware

3GS (32GB) Really worth the upgrade from 3G. The compass functionality really allows for super cool apps like wikitude. It also enhances the onboard Map app + various other apps. Was wondering why they had so much hype on it, now i know. I seldom use the voice command thing coz its really hard to get it right. The new camera seems harder to take shots on. Video is useful but not a big big thing. Biggest improvement is SPEED and BATTERY life - very much better. \ Power Support Air Jacket (Matt Black) The sales guy told me to buy this over the shiny metallic one and said this was really the best one. I listened to him. At first really regretted coz it looked so dull. After 1 week, started to really like it. Now, i'm claiming it to be the BEST iPhone jacket ever. Really really good. Good grip, doesn't scratch, small profile and the look is growing on me. Dexim FM Transmitter Does what its supposed to do, very very easy to use. Comes with its own USB charger as well. Does have some...

New Things Bought

Just to log them down for the time being, here are my latest buys: Logitech G15 Keyboard: Really x 10 good! Make sure you get the NEW one though (Orange lights rather than blue) Logitech Momo Steering Wheel While you can play both on the PS3 and PC, sadly I don't use it much. For it's price I think it is really worth it. But note that it is ENTRY LEVEL Sax Stand Finally found this at Swee Lee in Bras Basah. Was looking everywhere for it...foldable and all. Cool! Black Rapid Camera Strap RS-5 Kept dancing around this one and in the end decided to fork out the $120 for it. So far it really does what its supposed to. Haven't really field tested it yet though, can't wait :) Check out their website here and watch the video. Yes, my iPhone can fit inside :) Gigaworks T3 Speakers Read tons of reviews saying this is an awesome 2.1 speaker. It serious IS. Bowling Guard Final when to buy a bowling guard. Looks very RAD etc. However, it is sad that my skill level is way too low t...

My Favorite iPhone Apps

I've been using the iPhone from the day it came out. So far, i've used the 2G, 3G and 3GS. I've cracked, jailbrokened, destroyed lots of iPhones as well. More importantly, I try my best to get the most out of my iPhone in my daily life. So its not strange that people keep asking me what my fav apps are. Well, here they are (in no particular order): Facebook Has a cool function where you can sync all your contact's profile pics into your contact list. Also supports push notifications etc. Of course all the normal FB things can be done. Geocaching If you don't know what this is, please go to www.geocaching.com . It is one of the best apps to use if you have this hobby. Note that you have to pay about $10 USD for it. AppBox Pro Actually its kinda cheating to call this an app coz it actually is like a compilation of apps. It's not free $0.99 USD but it is seriously worth it. Ta-da List Technically this is not an app but rather it is a website that manages to-do lis...
