Nokia E7 vs Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC: Camera + Video Samples

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Here’s a brief post on the camera comparison between the 8megapixel camera on Nokia E7 and the 8megapixel camera on Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC.

Wanted to compare the E7 with the iPhone 4 camera but then I guess it’s only fair if I compare it to the same 8 megapixel camera on the ARC. Here are some photos taken at different situations. Photos are unedited.

The E7 is sharper but not as vibrant as the ARC.

Not much difference here when it comes to high contrast.

For your information, the E7 has a fixed focus camera. That means no autofocus, no macro etc. Very bad when it comes to close up shots like this.

The Xperia excels in low light because of the Exmor-R technology used in Sony Cybershots & Alpha dSLRs.

The E7 couldve done better if it has autofocus. Anything within the 25m range will be blur.. just like the lift buttons here. The Xperia one is sharp.

So there you go.. camera comparison between the 2 mobile beasts. Now let’s check out how both performed for HD video recording.

Here’s a summary of the event.

It’s like a series of workshops organised by Sony for photography enthusiasts to meet up and learn stuff from professional photographers. Free workshops = best. eheh
this year the convention is held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center.

It’s us! The usual gang at every Alpha convention lol

Each gets a booklet to collect stamps which is then redeemable to get a free gift.

Workshops after workshops.. with topics like street photography, fashion, food etc etc

they had performances too! To entertain and also to let the crowd try out some features of the Alpha cameras.

This guy damn poser.

Beastly – This Is Why Vanessa Hudgens Prefer Alex Pettyfer to Zac Efron

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

Just came back from special screening of Beastly at e@Curve.

At first look, this movie seems like another Twilight romance but it’s not really that. I would say it’s more like the 2011 version of Beauty & The Beast.

The movie is ok, the plot is ok the casts are ok but somehow it feels that the movie is too rushed and short… Overall, acceptable. I rate it 6.5/10.

So why did Vanessa Hudgens prefer this ugly looking guy(in the movie) than Zac Efron? Well, cos in the movie she has to like this Alex Pettyfer guy lor.. no choice. Script say like that liao. lol

Watch the trailer to find out more. :D

HOW CAN A POST NOT HAVE MY FACE? LOL

This was me when I was on the way to watch the movie.

Multiple exposures.. multiple shots… multiple tone? Hmm.

Fair Game Screening + My new 35mm!

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Just back from watching ‘Fair Game’ at e@Curve just now, thanks to Advertlets.

The movie is basically about the war between USA and Iraq or something and this CIA whom has been working on certain projects regading this war was unveiled on the newspaper which brought lotsa problems to her family. To know more, you may go watch this movie.
FYI, I didnt like the movie at all. Let me know whether you like it or not after you’ve seen it ok.

So I got my new lens just now with Ewin at SonyStyle The Curve!


Photo taken using my phone

Been longing for a 30mm range lens for a long time and Sony just launched this one like 2 months ago.. so yea me is happy nao. lol

First shot I took when trying the lens.

Before the movie we went dinner at Kimgary. Tried my new lens to snap this. Nice kan? lol

So sharp!

This lens is wide enough to fit 2 faces over the dining table.. more convenient than my 50mm which can only fit 1 face.

Bokeh damn nice can!


Photo taken using my phone

Both our 35mms.. :D

Oh at the movie screening, we met up with some frens.. here’s a shot.. with Ceddy and Kenji.
