block leave

finally is my rest week. i'm extreme tired after the alpha zoo challenge @ 22nd of May. our KL represent Isaac, Teoh, and few, include me. total KL participant is aound 10 ppl. we start our journey from 9am to 1pm. we were hoping to perform our best, thus we have a sleep for more than 3 hours. Isaac keep listen music, meanwhile Teoh just sleep. for team outing, we're using

Vincent : Sony SLT-A33 , SAL55200-2
Isaac : Sony DSLR-A230, SAL16105 (he's 1 of the top 10 from Alpha Challenge KL @ 12/12/10)
Teoh : Sony DSLR-A550 , SAL75300
(the rest player i dun have their profile and their SLR)

when we reach Taiping, challenger from Penang had arrived. total of challenger from Penang is 67 ppl. most of them are commonly using

Sony DSLR-A900, Sony DSLR-A850
SAL70200G, SAL70400G, SAL70300G

sounds they very rich... all professional grade and premium grade, how we challenge them?

ok, wat the differences? Sony DSLR-A900 and Sony DSLR-A850 is a full-frame sensor DSLR. it capture image with more detail and clarity. our DSLR/SLT is APS-C sensor, which capture image less detail compare with full-frame DSLR. the only advantages is, the focal length is 1.5X compare with full-frame , 1X. it means, if APS-C sensor DSLR uses 300mm focal length, its total of 450mm equivalent with 35mm size DSLR.

we had tried our best, and i'm felt sorry of i lost my concentration and lost the ranking this round. we are EVEN LOST TO A LITTLE GIRL NAMED MS. CHAN, 10 YEARS OLD, USING SONY DSLR-A200 WITH MINOLTA LENSES!? i really impressed of a little girl can take impressive looking photo!!!

the Alpha Challenge story is over...

today i walk around KL, from my house till Cheras, so far. i had passby Menara Maybank, having simple shot, then i go lowyat plaza for more IT info search. then, i go to Leisure Mall, and i once again, enter Maybank @ Segar Garden. there's a greeter just smiles and handle customer with gentle and care. i'm like her service very much. actually she doesn't know of i'm maybank staff from other branch. i visit yan hui, too bad yan hui seems very bz... ok, fine, i just having a chit chat around greeter with those senior staffs, and the new greeter. the new greeter named Kay. she's very sweet girl, and though she is new staff, she done her job very well. if comparing with my branch, i always complain of customer get wrong quene, and customer never fill in any application form, and much much more

enjoyed "support" my friend =)

this morning, or i should call yesterday midnight, i'm having supper with siew chor and kuan hang. we keep bluffing and bluffing for fun, haha. the interesting part is start from kuan hang. he said he regret of buy vivaz pro, as vivaz pro dun have end call and pick-up call on the screen when incoming call or while conversation, and only can be done on botton which designed at bottom of phone. well, nobody will suit of new items in short time. no choice. no other way to cover disadvantages. and we had some experiment of simple photography outside too.

at afternoon, i went to sungei wang. as i wish of my friend - maggie can pass through the competition

waiting for new DSLR

finally i had found a news of Panasonic new camera - Panasonic G3. actually, i dun have any interested for G3. wat i'm curious is, Pinpoint focus, which touch the screen where the subject is pointed and subject will focus. according to official website, the focusing point is almost available in every single place, where most SLR has limited focus point. i'm wonder was Pinpoint is very effective? as the Pinpoint is far effective compare with most touchscreen camera? all the while, i not really impressed of Panasonic's SLR/SLD camera, as they equipped Micro four-third sensor, as most brand like Sony, Nikon use APS-C size sensor for standard SLR. generally, APS-C sensor deliver more detail compare with Micro four-third sensor, and as APC-C size is 60% larger than Micro four-third, APS-C sensor's ISO performace is far better compare with Micro four-third sensor. was Pinpoint able to resurrect Panasonic's market? wait and see. if Pinpoint features is use in Sony, or Samsung's SLD camera, i'm believe they'll deliver more flexibility and more better detail photo
meanwhile, i'm still waiting for the rumored semi-professional SLR - Sony A77, the sucessor of Sony A700. i hope Sony will develop better ISO performance, deliver more detail output, for Sony A77
