Description:
If you've checked recently we've updated the site a bit there's a couple of new things on the front page. Also we've uploaded two new videos of Mr Mahfooz, he recently ran the D5000 clinic for first time users of not only the D5000 but also users new to dSLRs. The videos aren't specific to the D5000 though so if you're looking for some quick photography tips take a quick peek at them. Also we're still working on the interview with Louis Pang but in the meantime there's a bunch of new pictures uploaded by our new members that aren't too bad.

Nikon's Media Preview of the A Nikon's Media Preview of the Autumn '09 Product Line-up
- From: naqhi

Description:
Today bright and early I found myself at a club. I am not kidding at 10a.m. on a Friday morning I was standing in front of the Ministry of Sounds, The Deq, Euphoria. Why was I there? Well Nikon was a having a media preview of their latest cameras. Six cameras to be exact, two dSLRs and four brand new compacts. The dSLRs were the D300s an upgrade to the popular D300 and a brand new intro level dSLR that’s even easier to use than the D5000. The compacts they were introducing were the Coolpix S1000pj, S70, S640 and S570.The event started of with a speech by Mr. Stephen Ng, one of the top dogs at Nikon Malaysia. Followed by a little interactive video element that played advertisements for the various models. After which some girls dressed very provocatively in white and platinum wigs came out to show off the S1000pj, which was why the event was being held at a club.
That pretty much ended the planned program for the day and after which the press was allowed to have interviews and ask questions from the Nikon management present.Myself I got right down to matters at hand and had a look at the three cameras that interest me, namely the D300s, the D3000, the S1000pj and the S70.
Let’s take it a model at a time, first up the D300s I am not familiar with the original so looking at the button layout confused me somewhat. But I do know what it’s capable of, the D300 is a popular model for Nikon and the upgrade or replacement includes the HD video feature that’s present in all of Nikon’s latest dSLR. And I’ve seen what the camera can do in the hands of an open minded professional. At the Nikon USA site if you browse around for the D300s you’ll eventually come across a video done by Amy Vitale, she is a very respected photographer and was given one of the first working D300s. With that first working model she was able to shoot an amazing video of her recent visit to India. If you want to see what your dSLRs video mode is capable head on over and watch it, I strongly recommend it. But I wasn’t really able to play with the D300s at the event primarily because one I wasn’t familiar with and two, there was no storage media in them, so I couldn’t really take pictures to see much.
Next up the D3000, this is an interesting camera. It seems targeted to those looking to buy a compact but want some features of a dSLR. It’s got a very small body comparable to the D5000 but unlike the D5000 it does not have the flip out LCD screen nor does it have a video mode which is available in all of Nikon’s latest offerings. It does have a new menu feature called Guide which is supposed to make shooting pictures with dSLRs a lot easier to understand as it tells you what does what. Again there was no storage media in it so you couldn’t really play with to get a feel for it. Personally if I had to choose between the D3000 and the D5000 I’d go with the D5000. You get the flip out screen, the video mode and if you experiment enough you’ll figure out what does what anyway.
For the compacts you have the S1000pj and the S70. The S1000pj was the reason that the event was held at a club as I mentioned because of an interesting feature that it has, its got a projector. So it’s targeted at a younger, fun loving, want-to-share-the-moment sort of crowd. You can take a picture or a video and immediately you can project it on a wall or any other surface to about 5 feet. It was pretty neat. And it comes with a remote to so you can sort of have a fun presentation wherever you are. The S70 on the other hand intrigued me because of its new screen and menu/navigation feature. It’s got an OLED screen so that’s very nice. They’re going to become more common soon I know that most of the latest cell phones from the Korean manufacturers will soon sport them. And the entire back is made up of it, which means that it’s a touch screen. The touch screen is very responsive and fluid compared to Nikon’s previous model, and they’ve also included gestures. Gestures was first introduced if I’m not mistaken by Apple on their Airbook laptops, that’s where you can navigate and manipulate elements on you desktop by doing gestures on the mouse pad. Same thing with the S70 menus system. Doing certain gestures will help you navigate through the menu or even manipulate your pictures. For example, if you want to zoom in to a picture you take your fingers pinch them together on the screen and then open them, to zoom out you do the opposite place them a part and then bring them together.
All in all an interesting line up, I’m curious to see how the market responds to some of these models. One things for sure though if Nikon keeps up this habit of putting things you don’t expect of a camera it’ll keep everyone on their toes.
Just for fun here’s the official press release that Nikon gave us.

PRESS RELEASE --For Immediate Release
Nikon Shows-Off the World’s First Projector Camera
11 September, Kuala Lumpur. Nikon (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd launches the first compact camera with built-in projector capability in the world at The Deq, Euphoria Sunway today.
The Coolpix S1000pj is the world’s first digital camera that has a built-in LCD projector, upping the ante on the feature warfare of this highly competitive industry. With a simple touch of a button, the camera projects photos or movie clips on any flat surface up to 40 inches in size. Nikon has created a new experience in sharing photos with family and friends in most any location.
In this season, Nikon also rolled out the Coolpix S70, its first digital compact camera to feature Nikon’s innovative Clear Color OLED display with intuitive touch control. Immediately noticeable in the OLED display is its brightness, vivid color reproduction, and sharper contrast. At 3.5”, it is highly responsive and recognizes multiple fingertip commands, giving freshness to the meaning of “camera control at your fingertip.”
“The Coolpix S1000pj and Coolpix S70 mark another milestone in Nikon’s long history as a camera brand that is synonymous with innovative and quality products,” says Mr. Stephen Ng, General Manager.
“It used to be a megapixel war zone however consumers today are aware that megapixels are not the only key to enhanced photography experience. One of the joys of picture taking is sharing our photos with our friends which traditionally we would print them out or showing them via the camera’s LCD. The projector function of the Coolpix S1000pj makes photo sharing more convenient and exciting with your friends, as they just sit back and view the photos in an instant,” added Mr. Ng.
For those consumers who would like to shoot action or moving objects, the new Coolpix S640 is designed with an ultra-fast auto-focus drive which is close to that of a DSLR, enabling it to capture fast moving objects much easier than before. Nikon also launched highly affordable Coolpix S570 which comes with various colour choices, to meet consumers’ expectation of a trendy outlook.
The Coolpix S1000pj, S70, S640 and S570 all come with 28mm wide angle lens, 12 megapixel image sensor and 5x optical zoom. There are also a bundle of built-in image enhancing functions such as the Nikon Smart Portrait System, Scene Auto Selector, and Quick Retouch to make photo taking simple, yet satisfying.
Also in Nikon’s new line-up are the D300S and the D3000 DSLR cameras that are upgraded versions of the D300 and D60 respectively. The D300S not only has a 7 frame-per-second shutter rate, but also comes with auto-focus HD movie shooting capability. It also features an SD and CF memory card slots allowing users to select the recording medium of their choice.
The D3000 on the other hand, is a highly affordable DSLR for new enthusiasts. Comes with easy to use Guide Mode, the D3000 is affordably priced at RM 2,288 which comes with an AFS 18-55mm VR kit lens. It is expected to draw more upgrades from the compact level. “Consumers today are more aware about photography than never before. Thanks to DSLR becoming more affordable and easy to use, consumers will slowly move towards cameras with better pictures quality, and Nikon DSLR cameras will definitely give them that satisfaction,” said Mr. David Ng, Marketing Manager.

We were at KLPF! We were at KLPF!
- From: naqhi

Description:
It’s been a while since I last blogged, life got in the way if you will. Anyway, about three weeks ago Seel and I had the pleasure of attending KLPF. You may have seen the banner on the main page. Not only had we attended KLPF, but we were actually invited to speak on the main stage by Nikon Malaysia. It was the first time we had ever been asked to do anything like it, but I’m getting ahead of myself. First of all let’s say a little something about KLPF of the Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival. It’s the only event of its kind in Malaysia but it isn’t truly a festival per se, more like the usual vendor exhibition mixed in with a few guest talks, speakers and contests. If I were to describe a photography festival it would be something along the lines of Chobi Mela held in Bangladesh. This past KLPF though is the biggest one yet in KLPF even when compared to last years which was held at Berjaya Times Square. Moving on, Seel and I were invited to talk at KLPF because just recently we had shot a video PSA using Nikon camera namely the D90 and the D5000. It was sort of a pro bono-slash-experimental video that a close acquaintance of us, who just so happens to run an advertising agency, came up with. Alan Lim is a pretty well known name in the industry and used to work at Naga DDB as a creative director, he was curious about the quality of the video and if it were acceptable to use in actual production. We have worked with Alan before and he knew about us and our website and what we do, so he got in touch with us. Anyway long story short we showed him what we can do with using both the D90 and the D5000 and some lenses, and we ended up blowing him away, sort of. We showed him that we could get angles and shots that had he used the usual production method would have been time consuming or in some cases because of the situation would have been impossible. We used little to no lights, using only the available lights and fiddling with the sensor settings such as the ISO, aperture and exposure. In the end not only did we manage to pull of a fantastic job but a fast and fun one too. If we had actually been doing it for a fee it would have probably come in at a more affordable price for Alan too. So now there’s interest in the video by some parties since Alan has been showing it around, we’ve been told that it might actually be viewed publicly and if I’m not mistaken firstly on public buses. So that’s why we were on stage at KLPF. KLPF itself had a good turn out. It stayed crowded throughout the day only tapering of towards evening, and even the special rooms set up for the speakers would have lines waiting to enter. We managed to catch Louis Pangs’ talk and it’s safe to say that his fame precedes him. We caught him after his talk for a chat and an interview. We’ll be putting up that video soon or you can see it at Louis’ site once we get him a copy. The usual vendors were there but the one that surprised me was Tamron. They had decided to make a big presence by setting up their lenses on an elevated stage, all the other vendors had the usual floor displays. Nikon didn’t have anything new to show other than dummy models of the upcoming D300s and the S1000pj, though we heard that they did have preproduction models back at their headquarters. We were also impressed with a few of the Panasonic cameras especially their compacts since they shot at FullHD and the image quality was surprising. Also at KLPF Olympus had their latest cameras including the EP-1 the micro four thirds that’s been making waves in the camera industry. All in all it was a good experience.

Description:
Finally tracked down the first review of Panasonic's newest the Lumix DMC-GH1. This as you probably know is Panasonic's latest DSLR that features a HD video mode much like Canon's EOS 500D or Nikon's D5000 and is actually priced quite similarly to those two. In fact the review makes a few comparisons to the other two models. So if you're interested in finding out if the Lumix stacks up to the 500D or the D5000 hit the link after the break for the review. And stay tune to this blog as i'll probably add more reviews as i track them down!
