Canon PowerShot S95 Premium Compact Digital Camera - Though I just have my Canon PowerShot S95 for a few days, it is the best digital camera I ever have at its class that can be used for everyday snaps and it would be properly with me everyday in the next few years.

Nikon D700 FX Digital Camera - A Versatile Work Horse - I want something versatile, reliable that produces great image - good resolution, colors, dynamic range, excellent ISO performance, features and controls like AF capabilities, metering, white-balance to ensure productivity.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II - Roadmap to Full Frame & Higher Pixels - Ok, now we finally have the much-anticipated full frame DSLR from Canon, expected as the replacement for 5D, it is not 3D nor 7D but 5D Mark II - this time it packed with a higher pixels sensor, this makes all Canon full frame DSLRs are now at 21MP. Is that a new trend and association set between "Full Frame" and "Higher Pixels"?

Sony Alpha 900 - Launch of DSLR Higher Pixels Competition - What should we expect from a $3000 Sony Alpha 900? Can you imagine that is a 24.6 MP FF DSLR camera comes with some really impressive features and built quality?

Thought of the Canon EOS 50D Digital Camera - While most people is expecting the next FF body from Canon as replacement to Canon EOS 5D FF digital camera, I would consider the Canon EOS 50D is a necessary move as response to Nikon's recent hot cakes. Now, the new 50D looks like a replacement of the 5D except it is not with a FF sensor.

Right ISO for Your Picture - Have you even considered changing the ISO sensitivity on your camera? If you don't know what ISO sensitivity refers to, you may want to consult your camera manual for a base point understanding about that and how it works. The higher ISO capability definitely gives an overall improvement on photography options.

Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 & EF 50mm f/1.4 - Light & Compact Combos for Quick Snap - You may be curious that why I acquired a 24/2.8 prime lens while I already have the 24-105/4 and 16-35 II both cover the 24mm focal length. That is because 24/2.8 is a tiny and good performer at a focal length most important to my style, particularly for quick snap in events.

Insect Macro Photography - When I first got the camera, my (then) 5 year old son came into my office one day and suggested I photograph a bug that he had his eye on and we did. It was worse than terrible by my current standards, but it did allow us to see the bug in more detail than we could in real life. That is what got me started and what I enjoy so much about macros.

Get the Most from Your Camera & Lens Collection - While I am happy with the current setup, I decided to have a serious assessment how all these (3 Canon DSLR bodies and 4 lenses) can be further optimized for different circumstances and applications. Well, some configuration may look odd, but that is interesting and let me have a prospect of all possibilities.

Canon EOS 5D - An Ultra Wide Exploration of Plitvice Lakes - We joined a local tour to Plitvice Lakes National Park, the largest of Croatia's eight national parks. Plitvice Lakes was proclaimed a national park in 1949 that also making it the oldest national park in Croatia. In 1979, Plitvice Lakes National Park was included in the UNESCO list of World Natural Heritage sites .....

Canon EOS 5D & EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM - Dynamic Ultra Wide Photography - I need some wider and higher speed lenses, enablers for spectacular and creativities in landscape/ low light works. I have considered 14/2.8 II, 24/1.4 and 17-40/4. I finally go with a 16-35/2.8 II lens instead of primes and the 17-40/4 after some careful inspection and refined requirement.

Acratech GV2 Ballhead - A Piece of Art Work - Acratech introduced a radical new ballhead in 2001, Acratech Ultimate Ballhead, for most 35mm format cameras and wide to medium-long lenses it was all that the outdoor photographer needed, especially anyone hiking, that reduced the weight of the head to less than one pound. And now Acratech has updated refinements the GV2, "G" stands for Gimbal now able to act as a gimbal head as well.

Canon EOS 5D & EF 24-105/4L IS USM - A Magic Combo - Why Canon EF 24-105/4L IS USM? This is an interesting lens, I find it a great lens for portrait and outdoor works, in particular, it is sharp wide open at f/4 which I find the best aperture for portrait. Some people would prefer the 24-70/2.8, a faster lens in similar range....

Canon EOS 5D - Dark Angel in Digital Photography - It has been a long wish since my first professional body Nikon D1x to have it shoot in low light (the acceptable sensitivity is iso400), and it ended up running with wide open aperture. I have been seeking my next advanced camera for ever best image quality.

Photography Journal - Nanning - Nanning is dedicated to cultivating her own culture as - The Green City Culture. The city emphasizes a lot on the harmonious co-development between environment and people. As the pilot city in China's cooperation with ASEAN, Nanning is becoming a highlight in China's economic development, and is now attracting investors from all over the world.

Canon EOS 400D Combo for Everyday Snaps - There are two main reasons drive my conclusion to the 400D, firstly, I would like the best possible portability, and secondly, I want a combo produces lowest noise at higher ISO sensitivity with image stabilizer function to against camera sharks.

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS Digital Camera Review - The Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS can produce an effective 6 mega pixels image with a 4x optical zoom lens covering focal length 35mm-140mm, aperture f/2.8 (wide side) to f/5.5 (tele side). It is a compact camera, about 10% smaller than the P4, packed in a sliver-colored case with smoothly shaped edges and corners fitting well that enable one-hand (the right hand) operations.

Learn Digital Photography - Free Fun and Value Approach - We always ask how can I improve my photograph? Where should I start with? These are common questions from novice photographers; even for experienced photographers they would ask how do I know my work is acceptable to meet the taste of the market? In other words, wondering if the photograph can generate sales instead of collecting dust on the desktop?

Nikon COOLPIX P4 VR Digital Camera Review - P4 is a handy digital camera fitting well in my hand; it has design to enable one-hand (the right hand) operations. It is packed in a strong and substantial, sliver-colored metal case with smoothly shaped edges and corners giving really good handling experience for your hands. It beautiful and well-built outlook simply tells everyone it is a high-tech and well-design digital camera.

Hong Kong - A City of Light - Hong Kong is a city of light, it is full of power and the life is never stop. The night life of Hong Kong displays another face of the spectacular of Hong Kong. This is the world class famous night scene - the Victoria Harbor view of Hong Kong, it took me 4 attempts to The Peak of Hong Kong with a hundred of exposures.

GoldenHammer's Digital Photography Journal - I made an important decision in March 2002. I decided to invest on the top professional class equipments. This is my first SLR, actually should be DSLR, it is the Nikon D1x and two Nikkor prime lenses, AFD 28mm f/1.4 and AFD 85mm f/1.4. They form a complementary pairs at the focal length and at high speed that best fit my dynamic photography style. I still remember the day after office, I was in hurry to pick up my D1x package and the two Nikkor prime lenses, and hurry again home. I couldn't help and forgot to have my dinner but spending a hour of wondering around, put the Nikkor lens on the D1x, then I fired for the first shot.

Nikon Nikkor Lens Mini-Review - I made an important decision in March 2002 to invest on the top professional class equipments. I started building up my system with the digital SLR camera, Nikon D1x with two and two Nikkor prime lenses.

Sony Ericsson S700i Review - I have been long looking for a portable digital camera that is handy enough for quick snap and still provide acceptable image quality, now the Sony Ericsson S700i just fits my requirement. The S700i built-in a 1.3 mega pixel digital camera supports picture size up to 1280 x 960 pixels.

Black & White Photography in Ultra Wide Prospect - I used to do color photography until a special occasion that I found some black and white wide scene photos, they are really impressive in my eyes, very strong impact to me and I started review my photography style. Black and white photography is a new dimension that I should have the brave to give up my favorite colors, some sharpness, static quality and present my idea in an ultra wide angle prospect.
