Olympus PEN E-PL1
Have you been acquainted with Olympus’ PEN E-PL1? Well, here’s a brief review that would definitely help you determine whether you’d choose this to be your top pick.
The technology behind Olypmpus PEN E-PL1 can produce the same good quality photos in those big, bulky and heavy professional Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras and High-Definition (HD) camcorders, but fortunately, it’s a lot more handy. For it’s weight and size, this is absolutely smaller and lighter.
The E-PL1 also has a much-needed built-in pop-up flash. This enables to capture low-light objects while reducing red-eye effect and fill in dark areas.
I want a Nikon D90
I’ve been holding my internet earnings these past few months to raise funds for a new gadget that I’m planning to get. Since when I was in college, I’ve been using our groups’s Canon EOS 300D and Nikon D40 but I never really had a gear to call my own. I’ve been eying for D90. Based on the specifications below, I think it’s a very good value for its price (Php 54,000.00 for Kit).

- 12.9 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor (effective pixels: 12.3 million)
- 3.0-inch 920,000 pixel (VGA x 3 colors) TFT-LCD (same as D3 and D300)
- Live View with contrast-detect AF, face detection
- Image sensor cleaning (sensor shake)
- Illuminated focus points
- Movie capture at up to 1280 x 720 (720p) 24 fps with mono sound
- IS0 200-3200 range (100-6400 expanded)
- 4.5 frames per second continuous shooting (buffer: 7 RAW, 25 JPEG fine, 100 JPEG Normal)
- Expeed image processing engine
- 3D tracking AF (11 point)
- Short startup time, viewfinder blackout and shutter lag
- Slightly improved viewfinder (96% frame coverage)
- Extensive in-camera retouching including raw development and straightening
- Improved user interface
- New optional compact GPS unit (fits on hot shoe)
- Same battery and vertical grip as D80
- Vignetting control in-camera
- 72 thumbnail and calendar view in playback
I’m super excited in getting this one. I can’t wait for my next paycheck.
