Equipment List Update

My last trip back to Singapore, I sold some equipment and also bought myself a birthday present - the E-3.... The price was irresistable and I succumbed to the famous 'buy buy buy' virus!

Koh Samui

Was in Koh Samui for a short break, and we stayed at the Four Seasons Resort (where else!), beautiful place...

Sun in the rain

We were having brunch at the beach restaurant when it suddenly rains... and there in front of me, on the table was a little vase with a single sun flower braving the rain.

Great tutorial!!

Olympus announces the E-620

Wow, what a pretty little camera! Olympus combines the best of the E-420 (Size & portability), E-520 (Image Stabilisation) and E-30 (Features & technology), and came out with this little winner.

Olympus E-620 Features & Specifications



At PMA 2009, it attracted many attention and raised eyebrows. I jumped onto the DSLR wagon and invested in the 4/3 system some time ago, and I guess there is finally light at the end of the tunnel with Olympus' continued commitment to the 4/3 system.

Damn, now I regret getting the E-520 in December :(
