This limited edition camera case for G10 is available in Hong Kong for a while.  If you have the money to burn and don’t think that the camera itself is bulky enough, it is now selling for less than its rack price of HK$980 here (for exchange rates, use the calculator link on the left sidebar).  It is certainly a head turner, just as my GX200 on a neck strap hanging around my neck which rises eyebrows on the street.

The Canon’s press release is as follows.

Blending with Canon’s over 70 years of optical imaging expertise and market leading digital image technology, PowerShot digital compact camera is well-received by the public. PowerShot G10 Digital Compact Camera, in particular, incorporating superior images and professional functionalities is definitely the best choice for quality-conscious style-savvy. In view of this, Canon has invited the famous Japanese fashion designer Mihara Yasuhiro to design a classic yet stylish and practical camera case for the newly launched PowerShot G10. Available as limited edition in Hong Kong, this camera case is surely a collector’s favorite.

Tradition meets Innovation Becoming famous by his unique designed textile and accessories, the popular fashion designer Mihara Yasuhiro is a big fan of leather. To him, photography is also an act of creation that is of equally appeal. Thus when designing the camera case for PowerShot G10, Mihara Yasuhiro has specially featured a brown leather that accentuates the sense of nobility. This light aroma of leather takes photography to a
higher level of art.


PowerShot G10 and the camera case both resonate with the feeling of a nostalgic film camera. The faux leather hand grip, together with the metal ring, PowerShot G10 has created a classy touch. For the camera case, in addition to its primary protection function, crafted with shinny gold metal frame is the sign of nobility and elegance. Featuring such a classy appearance and an unique way of opening of the case, this results in an excellent old-meets-new design. This also shares the same concept with
PowerShot G10 being innovative in delivering high quality shooting function while inheriting the best tradition and classic look from its predecessors.

A Real Hero

(Grip On Reality: This photo was taken on my way to work.  I was walking past trucks parking on a cul-de-sac when the ropes caught my attention.  The light was right, the colour was right and the criss-crossing pattern was perfect and I held up my GX200.  People passing by checked me out and wondered what could be made out of such a boring scene.  To me, the fun in photography is that the photographer makes something interesting out of what is not obvious to most at the scene.  The ropes tied in knots somehow reminded people I know who are in the grip of the recession) You must have also known a friend or two, or even yourself, being baffled by the spiral downturn of the economy.   Bank went bankrupt and the rich was faced with a shrinking wealth.  A friend of mine has just had his salary cut by over 10% and some of his colleagues started to be shed. But, wait. Was this done really for the sake of continuing the business? Or is there a factor or greed in it?  I wonder whether the

New Low Prices

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).

Eye Contact

(Leica D-lux 5) The digital era may make it easier to end up with fave shots. Even lousy photos may be turned likable after a few clicks in the post-processing workflow. But if digital advancement or amendments have any bearing on the cultivation of personal style, no photographers will need to discover his or her own photographer’s eye. Undoutedly, this is out of the question. Only with a trained photographer’s eye can we give a thinking gaze and capture an eternal moment, in our unique style. Style is the soul of a great photo. A few posts have been written in GXG to touch on the topic of photographer’s eye. Instead of finding an answer, which would require academic discussions, the posts are intended to give my general reflections and spark interests in moving towards further exploration of the topic.  The posts can be viewed after the links: 1) Photographer's Eye: Storytelling 2) Photographer's Eye: Little Show of Observing 3) Photographer's Eye: Sight-Worthy 4
