Good Deals!

Got this Samsung camera from Groupon at only $135. I know that many people may have some not-so-good impression of cameras other than famous brands like Canon, Sony or Nikon. I admit that I am one of this group  of consumers before I bought this camera.

The Canon camera I was using is not very good, in my opinion, because the shutter speed is not that fast when shooting without flash. So it tends to take blury pictures.

When I was pondering whether I should buy the Samsung camera, I thought how would a non-Canon camera perform better than a Canon camera. Anyway, I still placed my order in the end because it is really quite cheap. So I decided to give it a try, since I've never used or tried out cameras other than cameras from Canon, Sony and Nikon. And the result is quite unexpected, to me at least.

The pictures are quite sharp and clear and they were taken without flash. The shutter speed is quite fast. You can view some pictures taken at an outing with my friends two posts prior to this.

So, the Samsung PL20 has now become my new baby. Of course, I still hope to get a DSLR someday but since I don't have the ability to get one now, a good point and shoot camera like this should be enought for me.

New Blogger user interface

Blogger has finally changed their website's user interface. I've just tested on the speed of uploading large sized images and I'm quite happy with it. I tried uploading a few 14.1MP pictures and they took like five minutes to finish uploading. Before that, Blogger used to take like 20minutes to upload two or three large sized pictures and that really freaked me out.

Anyway, with this satisfactory improvement, I'm gonna upload more photos to my blog from now on. I don't have to search high and low for an alternative way to upload them. For example, using web albums den copy the embled code onto blogger. That also took quite a bit of time. I even thought of changing my blog to Wordpress or Weebly. Now, I don't have to. I can just happily, easily and quickly upload my high resolution pictures here. Yay~!~!
