Now there is another one.

The Camera Thing

Before I turn this into some "I hate the world and the moronic things technology brings us and the inhumane world" ranting blog, lets share some, in my opinion, good thing.

You know the thing about camera? Technology just upgrade upgrade and upgrade, but your camera just don't die in time for you to change.

My computer dies like 5 times, disposed off like 3 mp3 players, 2 handphones and a few electronics at home like the DVD player and such. Their remains probably burnt, return to earth and being reproduced already the camera just don't die.

I have like 3 working ones at home, the oldest being the film camera which I suppose is about my age, no zoom at all.

But being a tech slave and self proclaim photography lover can't stop myself from looking for newer better ones when they are still working. Because I have to admit that the 12x optical zoom is actually shit.

No, not into SLR thingy, but I like compact cameras that can do wonders like manual focusing and changing exposure yada yada yada, example like the over publicised Nex5, or Panasonic LX5 or Canon S100. That kind.

I have played with Canon, its... good, but the dials are not that convenient, you probably shift the focus way off before you set to the desired settings.

Anyway, I was Googling for Panasonic GF3 which was like sitting at the counter top at Best Denki with "Special Price" around, it will still burn my bank a/c, and I found this.

He is, I suppose from Hong Kong, and he speaks like the Britain Top Gear host whom my bro likes.

Anyway, he did reviews the way I like, comparing similar camera and their outcome side by side. Fascinating. And I fall in love with his Leica M! But I last checked few hours ago its going at SGD 33000. CRAZY. No typo, its 5digits, no decimals.

So I continue with the other reviews, I was checking the GF3 and OUT, then next was the Canon G1 X which I was attracted my the swirving screen, its totally bimbotic to buy for that screen, OUT.

Then the Panasonic GX1, it is pretty cool! It has manual focus like Iphone which you touch and it focus. Imagine if I'm able to use that for my favourite Chrysanthmums back in Taiwan, I will die with less regret now.

But still I don't have the funds to play with such luxury yet. And there are the Pentax and Nikon I have yet to check out yet. I still can't get over the Leica.....

I think this have been circulating since some times ago, but I'm keeping this as a bookmark. Ha.

Alright prepare for bed and dream of owning a Leica.

Man-made Human?

After 2 abduction claims, and a boy being pushed down the escalator :-

A mum, sat on the bench, plays on Draw something, and leaves her two kids with a maid, playing, climbing, running at the bus stop.

Are you not worried? How can a maid handle 2 kids?

When the bus arrived, her son called out, she stood up at an instance shouts to her daughter.

"Mei mei come!"

The kid then came running towards her mum while the bus drive in, so close to the curb!

The mum not worried at all and added on "faster".

Then in the bus, she continues to play with get phone.

Have you still have any motherly instinct?

Mammals are different from other species because they took care of their young while they grow.

And these people now endangered their kids over technology.

Are human still human? It's just so sad watching such things being so common.
