i want a dslr cam…

Well, what is a dslr? dslr stands for digital single lens reflex…Hmm…some Phy B light terms coming into play now.. So, parallel light rays from a distant/infinity, travel through a convex lens and are converge to a mirror which reflect upwards into a prism called pentaprism…Light is totally internally reflected and travel to the viewfinder.. Concept is rather simple huh? So when you take a shot, the mirror will flip upwards and the light rays will focus to a single point as the shutter (blue) opens that exposes the digital sensor (red) to light..

Why dslr? It’s just so damn bloody cool…. Played with my friend’s Nikon D40 when we were at klcc and at stadium putra for the showdown of champions [will blog about that later,probably]….  Not just that, it takes super sharp and clear photos…and btw, you see professional photographers using dslr and not some wussy campact digital camera with like 10 MP…

So I’ve shortlisted the dslr that i think is suitable for me and is in the ‘price range’…

-Nikon D60 @ RM 2,288 released 29-01-08
Key features :10.2 megapixels, dust control, small and light

- Olympus E420 @ RM2,499 released May 2008
[E420 TLK (ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 & ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6) ]
Key features :10 megapixels, dust control, face detection, expanded dynamic range

- Canon Rebel XS (D1000) @ RM1,999 released August 2008
Key features :10 megapixels, dust control, live view

Hmmm… I really do not know… So far, I’ve seen plenty of people using Nikon dslr..I see that common black and yellow camera strap everywhere during the exhibition in kl… If I were to get one, probably I’ll get olympus but olympus dslr isn’t that popular huh? why olympus? for 2.5K, you’ll get 2 lenses…

after all this research, the question that pops up in my head is, “Do I really need a dslr camera? “

the prodigal son returns….on wed…

It’s finally done… final paper was on last friday… Overall, exams were alright, except for phy A… didn’t expect the questions to be so challenging… but what the heck, i’m happy i’m done with MUFY… urgh… have roughly 2.5 months to chill before going to uni.. Kinda worried about my finals results which will be released on the 11th of Dec… hope i did enough… otherwise, i’m literally lost… wouldn’t know which course to go for… ah well, had been relaxing for the past few days… had been swimming, playing pool , wow-ing (still a noob.. sad case) , sc-ing and watching tv series like Despo Housewives, house, family guy, south park and american dad…

oh…i’m going to watch roger federer play in stadium putra, bukit jalil… He is OK…he got his rest after shanghai and he said he is 100% fit..so yeah you buggers who said federer wont be coming, he’s coming… can’t wait for tomorrow.. it’s gonna be a great night for tennis.. i hope it doesn’t rain though… has been raining off and on in sunway for the past few days… should be alright….

hmmm..moving out on this wednesday.. finally moving out of this hell hole… don’t get me wrong, the hostel amenities are good, it’s the people who stay in the unit with you makes that makes it a home or just a hostel… take for example, my sri lankans housemates, they would bring back like 5 of their friends until the early hours of the morning and literally, all hell breaks loose.. you can heard them laughing extremely loudly, running around the unit and one will be spraying water from the shower and the other would be shielding himself with an umbrella… don’t ask me why.. those crazy buggers… and just recently, a black guy moved in… you know what people say.. black guys just love their music… he turns it on LOUD until the wee hours of the morning….probably to drown the noise the sri lankans are making….

with that said, i’m so happy to move out…. XD and can’t wait to be back home….
