Not a Compact. Not an SLR... It's a PEN

I am now in a quest of getting a new digital camera. Been doing a lot and a lot and I mean a lot of researches on which camera to get. Currently, there are 3 cameras  in my mind, which is the Olympus E-P2, Nikon D3100 and the Sony Nex 3. Olympus E-P2 is leading miles ahead now.  :)

Why I like the Olympus E-P2?

1. I am not a very pro photographer and I am kinda sure that I will not spend too much money on my hobby. There will always be a limit for me on my spending for my hobbies. So I will not get a DSLR and spend more money in the future to get more lens. So, I will just get a E-P2 and maybe if I really want more lens in the future for the camera, I can get those cheap OM lens or even vintage Russian lens. Cheap. 
2. Manual focussing is fun. Just like those old skool camera. 
3. I am very much in love with the retro look of the camera. The camera body is like an old skool film camera and with the metal body, its a portable tank that fits in your pocket (a big pocket).
4. The dual control dials and lots of buttons for external control. Its easy to access to most of the functions.  
5. The size of the camera compared to the DSLRs. 
6. The art filters. I really love the art filters a lot. Especially the cross process and grainy film. I saw some of the photos uploaded in Flickr and its very nice. 
7. I can get the electronic viewfinder for it in the future and the electronic viewfinder is very well built.
8. Great DSLR like image quality.
9. In body image stabilization.
10. And lots of other stuffs to play with especially the high quality video mode and to take videos coupled with the art filters which is very interesting.
11. Very cool Kevin Spacey advertisement.  :p  Camera chow, picture wow.
12. Nikon D3100 does not have the Auto Exposure Bracketing function.
13. Nex 3's big LCD screen that will consume the battery very quickly. The body is too small and feels like a compact camera. No dedicated buttons and involve lots of digging in the menu to get to the functions you want. No hot shoe for flash too.

Anyway, I am still waiting for the rumored Olympus E-P3 too. 

So, what do you think. Any Olympus Pen user here?

My story

Its been quite some time since I own a digital camera that functions properly. My previous digital camera was a Canon prosumer. The camera is way before the G series. Its the PowerShot A80. The camera cost my dad RM2000. It was a present for me when I was 15 and it also function as my family's camera. The camera is to replace my dad's film camera, which is a Canon AF35m2 (The camera is still with me, lying somewhere in the cupboard, waiting to be tested with some slide films).  

These are the pictures of the camera:

Canon AF35M2

Canon PowerShot A80

Although both cameras are from Canon, my dad is not really a big fan of Canon. He just buy whatever he feels is good and worth the money. During those time when we bought the Canon PowerShot, digital cameras are still a very new thing. Imagine we paid like RM2000 for a camera merely 4.0 megapixel. 4.0 megapixel is a very big thing that time but now, even a handphone surpass it. I still remember the camera in handphones those time were just 0.3 megapixel. Technology is something improving in a very very fast pace and we really cant catch up for most of the time. Just buy something you feel it could fulfilled your needs and stop chasing the latest item hot from the oven. It's a never ending process.

Reflecting back on those time owning the camera, I feel I seriously under utilize the camera and seriously wasted the investment my dad put in me. I never learned anything about photography and holding that camera in my hand just brought me pride, ego and arrogance. (owning a digital camera those time was a big thing although its a 4.0 megapixel camera) Reflecting back, I felt missing a lot of great opportunity to learn and develop a skill in life that brought many joy and sense of fulfillment to others. It was a great loss.

I took lots of lousy photos and that was really a disgrace to the Canon PowerShot A80. During the second year owning the camera, I brought the camera to school to take some pictures of my friend. I put the camera in my bag and unfortunately, the bag fell off from the chair and upon using the camera after the fall, the hinge at the battery cover of the camera was broken and my camera suffered a lose battery cover for the rest of his life. Since that day, I seldom use the camera as I need to tape it with a tape to make sure it functions properly. It was ugly and it never brings me great pride anymore. I still use the camera till a few months ago but I think most of my friend never notice me of having that camera as I never bring it out. The batteries dead and I never replaced it yet, cause it may be some other factors that cause the camera not to function properly. I often rely on my friends' digital cameras these days if I need a camera. It's sad. 

7 years later, my parents promised to get me a new digital camera once again for my next birthday. This time, I will not waste this opportunity, I will treasure it. And I will not be someone that holds a camera that cost a few thousands bucks or hanging it around the neck just for the sake of looking cool and getting immerse in pride, ego and arrogance. I will fully utilize it and never let this investment wasted.

Any suggestion on which camera to get? Please leave a comment. :)

FIlmmy! Who are you? / Kinokuniya

Oh my god you Filmmy. Get lost and stop messing around in my blog. Sharing picture in my blog and wanna be emo + artistic here. And Momo is my friend, I bet he doesn't even know who the hell you are. And I hope you get his permission to share his picture here. If not, I sincerely hope you get sued.  :)


Seriously, I still dont know who's Filmmy and how the hell she (according to her/him/it) can post freely in my blog even though I changed my password. Must be magic. I think she's a stalker. My secret admire. Haha.. Just joking. I hope to get to the bottom of this ASAP. 


Where shall I start. I tried google but cant get any good results. I tried Facebook and these are the people I get. Look at the print screen.





Not bad, got a few pretty girls there but mostly are from Thailand. Savadikap, kap kap kap. If Filmmy is a pretty girl, I can forgive her. Its either Filmmy Chilliz or Filmmy Kongtum..  I'll keep my fingers crossed. Hehehe.. :p
Still in the midst of searching. Will keep you guys updated. Anyway, go check the 2 girls out. Should be a film lover.. lol..


Ya, one more thing. If you guys are heading to KLCC or anywhere around there, go check Kinokuniya bookstore. They are having sales for some old books and magazines at the second floor of their bookstore. You can get cheap books and magazines there. Seriously, very cheap. My friend just spent RM100 plus buying those books and old magazines, and the RM100 plus books and magazines look like RM300 plus worth of books. Its so damn heavy carrying those books and mags for him from KLCC to our place.


See what I got. One of the book i bought is this.





Sorry to my friends that can't understand Chinese. Its a book about photography and its from National Geographic. Lots of pictures, lots of words. And its a bit hard to understand. Lots of terms need to refer to google translate.


Kinda happy to get this book. I can learn and understand lots of photography stuffs from the book. And find out what's so fun about taking pictures. Hmmmph.. Are photography and lomography that fun?  
Anyway, the book only cost RM20.. Cheap rite. The promotion in Kinokuniya is from Thursday till this Sunday, so, act fast.

Chills me to the bone

Who is this Filmmy guy?
I was just trying to check my pageviews after I woke up from a goodnight sleep and it really shocked me and woke me up completely. It felt like a cold shower in the morning, chills me to the bone.


Why is he posting stuffs in my blog. And how? You may be puzzled and wondering who's that. Believe it or not, there are thousands of question marks above my head too. 


I went to sleep last night at 11.45pm and the post from this Filmmy guy was 11.55pm.. Hmmph... Is it a coincidence or what...


Oh crap, cant write much. Gotta get ready and rush to work..


Someone, tell me who is he.. I might try Google later...

WTS: Fed 2 in GREY and RED

Hi to all camera lovers..
2 units of Fed 2 for sale. 1 comes in red and the other unit comes in grey.

If you are a rangefinder lover, shutterbug or just wanna look cool with a classic Russian rangefinder, dont sit there. Pick up your phone and contact me or just leave a comment in my blog. 

These are the pictures of the Feds:

Cosmetics:   8.5/10

Mechanical: 10/10

Comes with the leather case

Price: RM250 with a roll of negative for free

An article about Fed 2 from Lomography on May 23, 2008

The Fed 2 Rangefinder camera (manufactured in six variations) is recognized as one of the most excellent rangefinders that’s easy on the pocket.

Coming from the (Ukraine-based) Fed factory that’s known for its well-crafted cameras, The Fed 2 is a series of rangefinder cameras with six variations – Fed 2a, Fed 2b, Fed 2c, Fed 2d, Fed 2L, and Fed 2e. The differences between these models are minimal – only a few adjustments, mostly design-related. Later models are improved with a self-timer, and a dioptic adjuster (which allows the photographer to adjust the viewfinder’s magnification according to their vision). Like the other Feds in the family, it boasts the much-revered Industar lens, famous for producing sharpness, contrast and high resolution.

Looks-wise, you can tell that the Fed RFs are patterned after the Leica. Quality-wise, the Fed RF can match the German Leica, too. A successful span of over 70 years in the camera business proves this, selling over 700,000 units of the Fed 1 during its heyday!

So what makes the Fed 2 different from its ancestor? The Fed 2 is completely redesigned, in efforts to divert from the origins of the Fed – as a Leica II clone. The redesign provided more convenience – no more switching between two windows to focus and frame, thanks to the longer RF base of 67mm and a coupled viewfinder/rangefinder window. Additionally, loading up a film has been made simpler, with its detachable back – a feature similar to the Contax Kiev camera. For anyone who’s ever dreamed of owning a Leica, consider the more-reasonably priced, but equally-sharp Fed 2. An avid rangefinder collector (by the name of Stephen Rothery) has this to say – “(The Soviet Fed 2) has taken everything that was good about German pre-war cameras and created an unknown timeless classic which is in a league of its own."
