Olympus E-30 + 14-54 f2.8-3.5 mk2 is really awesome..it share most of E-3 capability and a better sensor!!! The pop art filter is really a welcome!! i know i said it many time but the pop art filter really rocks!!! The pic below come straight out from the Olympus E-30. I use the soft focus pop art filter..nice.. say bye bye to adobe photoshop... Here is the iso 3200 sample pic from the Olympus E-30 nice rite..clean iso 3200.. i would say very usable for 4R print.. and now the iso 1600 from E-30!! this one iso1600 too even better!!!

Today 2nd Olympus E System gathering gave us a chance to look at the E-620 preview..!! The size of E620 is somewhat similar to E420. The new E620+battery grip is a perfect combination as i am able to grip it firmly with my hand minus the heavy weight! and it share most the feature that E-30 have.. another welcome addition is unlike the e420 the new Olympus E620 have the IS (image stabiliser) IS 1,2 and 3. The E620 also have the built in pop art filter..nice.... and the build quality is worth mentioning too..it is very solid..unlike the sony alpha a350 and a200 it do feel solid and sturdy.. the pic above show e620 with the zuiko 25mm f2.8 pancake and also together with the battery grip.. Kudos to Olympus for making such nice photos..

New case for my LX3... This is actually the original case for Leica Dlux4 which is another reincarnation of panasonic LX3..The case is made of leather and it fits perfectly the LX3. However you cant use the original neck strap cause the case will not provide enough space. Therefore i use the original hand strap that come together with the leather casing... This case is really a beauty..a must get for all LX3 owners..

I was looking high and low for the external flash for my DMC-LX3 and then an idea come up...why not use my Olympus FL-36R!! Then i try to attached to my LX3 hoping it would work...and voila..not only did it work..it also have AUTO TTL function!!! I will not hesitate to use this combo for wedding events!!

To take self potrait is not so hard..all you need is :- 1. A tripod (manfrotto 190xprob) 2. A light stand + brolly 3. Flash FL-50R 4. A remote trigger to trigger the slr(RM-1) 5. And of course a SLR with atriculate LCD so you can do the framing easily with it..and live view is a must too in this case..and Olympus E-3 meet all the specificiation!!! You can place the brolly 45 degree above your head from either left or right and then place the Olympus E-3 in the middle. The wireless trigger is a bless, you do not need external wireless flash trigger to work. And with RM-1 you can snap right away.. This is a sample of self potrait i have taken.. :)

Saw this Rainbow ..and snap right away!! Its been ages i have seen rainbow in the city...

Sony declare my old camera to be total dead...let it RIP..and now my new sidekick would be this little buddie..the panasonic LX3.!!!
