GX200 Can Really Zoom

Now, when you are really into photography and start to learn this common language, mark that you can go bust and be penniless if you wish to speak with the Queen's accent.  I am writing figuratively about the respectable owner of the GX200 pictured above.  It is fitted with a 500mm cannon!  Wow, have you ever thought of putting your serious compact to such a creative use?  The photographer said that the gears belonged to his boss who was a geek of wild bird photography.  Okay, how come he hasn't bought a proper DSLR?  That is the real question.  As I said, when you are into photography, sometimes you have to be out of your mind to do a thing so creative, and expensive I think.  It is likely that the gears are for fun and the rich boss has already got a number of proper wild bird photographic tools.

Zoomed to 500mm and there you are (the shed is at the far end of the passageway on the left, and the car is parked at the end of that passageway):

The photographer also posted some shots of the GX200 on some gradient filters and more of the resulting shots.  You may click HERE, and there click open the underlined blue links written in Chinese to check out.

Comrades, Arise!

 (Ricoh GR) In their own unique style, the squatting Mainland Chinese tourists have become an eyesore a common sight in the usually narrow walkways around the more busy areas in Hong Kong since the r eturn of Hong Kong's sovereignty to China (Editor-in-chief's note: Officially banned phrase for political incorrectness) Chinese Communist Party resumed sovereignty over the city. Hordes of  the likes are too generous in their estimation of either the width of the sidewalks or the number of people passing by them, so stretching out an array of luggage cases in a disarray fashion for making rearrangement or taking a recess never seems to be too unedifying a bother to them. No location can dampen their determination in doing so, not even if it is right at a shop front, which is a somehow laudable national quality potentially in a positive way. Well, there are always two sides of a coin. Through the artistic eye of a photographer, can't these scenes be reproduc...

Final Verdicts: GF2 in Action

By
(The rest of the GF2 review posts can be found here ) It is widely believed that the GF2 is a paradoxical downward-upgrade version of the GF1. So, after all the discussions of its bells and whistles, how does it perform in reality? First things first. Which or what kind of cameras should we measure the GF2 against for that matter? We believe that potential buyers of the GF2, maybe except for serial fad chasers and the diehard loyalists, are attracted by its smallness in size with a larger sensor to achieve better image quality, especially at ISO 800 or above. However, given the less satisfactory handling with for example just one dial, the GF2 cannot assume the place of a primary camera. Put together, these assumptions suggest that the GF2 is more suited to be used as a backup camera for social and street shots. Let's grill the GF2 on this basis. In the Hand An obvious merit of the GF2 is size. It feels much less bulky in the hand than the GF1 or the NX100, and just lik...

New Low Prices

By
The window shopping some hours ago has almost provoked my AgIDS illness.  Just in case you’re in Hong Kong or are coming here, and have the money to burn (All in HK$/ body only): GX200 = $3,280 GRD2 = $3,380 LX3 = $3,180 G10 = $3,280 Prices are available form a gear shop on the 1st floor of the Mongkok Computer Centre.   Besides these new low prices, I found that Wing Shing Photo (55-57Sai Yeung Choi St., MK Tel: 2396 6886/ 91-95 Fa Yuen St., MK  Tel: 2396 6885) is offering a Sony A700 + Carl Zeiss Lens package for HK$9,980 (hopefully, a bargain will make it some hundreds cheaper).
