There will be a day where you will tell yourself, “.. I have taken too many pictures and it’s almost impossible to remember all of them…”. Unfortunately (and maybe not surprisingly), mine has reached such a stage. Not yesterday, but probably since last year or so. At first organising it via a clear folder structures seems reasonable, and probably a good start. But as I started taking pictures randomly, from multiple cameras and phones and not forgetting images which I’ve edited and obtained from other friends’ cameras, I knew I will get myself into trouble with these images. Quite sure many others shared such “problems”. Maybe this is an “issue” of the digital World. And just bear in mind, we are just like less than 15 years of mass digital camera era. And as we project our life into the next decade, finding your images will definitely be an unpleasant necessity. Along came Canon’s “Project 1709”. Yes… not the final name yet as it is still in beta and this marks Canon’s ...

Another September, and here we go, another iPhone. If you are counting since 2007, iPhone 5 is not the fifth iPhone by Apple. Like Namewee said, "... u belum tengok u jangan panggil olang lain jangan pigi tengok ma...". So with that in mind, I've tried to reserve my comment  about this phone since the introduction by Phil S last week... Until today... My thoughts... If you are using an iPhone 4 or 4s, I think you should keep the cash and wait for 5s. It's just feel so "iPhone 4" and the longer screen really doesn't make any sense. Yes, it does feel thinner and lighter. But hey... if you are paying 529 quid on this, I guess you want it to feel solid! And don't get me started on the "lightning" connector. WTF!!! Hasn't Apple heard of the port call "Micro USB" if they want to make it smaller???  Of course, of course... If we love Apple, we should knew from the beginning it would look "cool" t...

I thought it's probably good to create a dedicated page to highlights some of the latest and greatest from Photokina 2012 which I hope I can live blog when I make my first visit to Photokina tomorrow. For now, let's see what's have been announced by Canon by following the link below; http://15dezember.blogspot.co.uk/p/photokina-2012.html See you in Cologne!

As a Malaysian, let me first congratulate Lee Chong Wei and Pandelela Rinong for their great performance to fly the Malaysian flag in the London 2012. One may think living in a host country for a Commonwealth Games (1998) is the pinnacle of any big sports event for oneself. And when I knew that I will not just be in London, but will also live in London for the Olympic London 2012, I was actually quite ecstatic to be part of it. Truth be told, I was one of the sceptics on the way the Olympic was being organised before the games start. To begin with, many of us still remember how good it was the opening ceremony in Beijing even it was more than 4 years ago (remember the kid singing and the flying torch bearer?:)). Besides being held using public transport on many occasions, the organiser (LOCOG) wasn’t helping by announcing that they have to draft in thousands of army personnel to fill up gaps left by the Security Company (G4S) days before the opening cerem...

It's a bit freaky but what a coincidence!!! And now, I can declare London 2012 to be ready ;)

This post has been updated on the following post; http://15dezember.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/the-one-with-macbook-air-macbook-pro.html Thanks. ====================================== Another community service :) I believe by now everyone has their hands and heads on the latest and greatest MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and the "Next Generation" MacBook Pro with Retina display. Yup... Very nice indeed (on paper at least). And planning to get one too ;) And while doing some research on the specs, naturally being a cina-pek (China man) I got to know this! MacBook Air (June 2012 Model) Macbook Pro (June 2012 Model) Conclusion... Depending on where you are or where are you are planning to travel to, the same MacBook Pro can be either 29% more expensive (in the UK) or cheaper by more than 4% (in Malaysia) compare to the prices in North America. This is based on the exchange rate on 15th June 2012. Full details on an Excel file at the link here... ( link ). ...

This is a community service ;) Recently, someone highlighted that their wonderful EOS 5D MKIII produces RAW images which appear to be soft and not as sharp as their previous EOS 5D MKII.  Why? For me to know, for you to find out :) However, I've been informed that by updating your DPP to the latest version, it will solve that issue.  Links to the site; 1) Europe - ( Link ) 2) USA - ( Link ) 3) Asia - ( Link ) Hope this helps. And wow... I have not been active in this blog for a long time. Let's start again soon!!
