pen test shots

Posted by rob on

a few days after arriving in manila for my regular days off, i got the olympus pen ep-1 camera last week from an online seller based in quezon city. i only have the 17mm pancake lens for now and will just buy the other lens next time when i am able to save some money again. here are some of my random and unedited ‘test shots’ that i took.  i know the pictures are not that good but pardon a newbie, please. haha.

i think my old sony cybershot can do better, lol.  colors are quite good though, and i really have to learn to adjust the settings of this camera – goodluck to me!

it’s a pen

it’s not a point and shoot, not an slr . . . it’s a pen.  what will you create?

well that is how olympus camera company described e-p1, a camera that features the sophistication of a d-slr but is built into an extremely small and easy to use camera.

i have been wanting a d-slr camera for sometime now but having a bulky camera with me just dissolves the thought. currently, i use my ever-dependable sony cybershot w300 and i also have a t77.  i am not really knowledgeable on cameras but when i saw the olympus e-p1 on the internet, i got fascinated with its features as an alternative for a d-slr.  here’s the overview of the ep-1 from the olympus webpage ~ click here.

i saw sample images from digital camera review, you have to scroll down on the page to see the pictures they took and it was surprisingly nice!

samson’s bag

Posted by rob on

last month i bought a new laptop backpack bag because of two reasons: number one, it was part of my simple wishlist for the year and number two, i learned a good lesson not to use a bag that is not meant for the size of my laptop – like forcibly stuffing a 15.5″.  my sony vaio ended up being badly scratched for the slider of the pull tab of the zipper made contact near the lower edge of the laptop cover.i chose to buy the same brand that i used before which is samsonite.  the one i got is not really the latest (sahora series) but i prefer their hardshell look, padded laptop backpacks.  here are some of its features:

  • laptop backpack
  • cabin luggage
  • made from 600 denier polyester
  • water proof
  • washable
  • lined interior
  • 1 compartment
  • zip closing
  • nylon zippers
  • ergonomic straps designed for comfort and ease of carrying
  • front pocket
  • expansible
  • 17″ notebook compartment
  • keyring holder
  • pen holder
  • cellphone pocket

    • in the philippines, the samsonite sahora series laptop backpack retails for about P6,000.00 (as of april, 2010).
