Samsung sucks

Nuff said. THEY SUCK.

Sony Develops Rollable OLED Display

Sony has developed a super-flexible 80 μm-thick 4.1” 121ppi OTFT-driven full colour OLED display which can be wrapped around a thin cylinder. This display can reproduce moving images while rolled-up and stretched over a thousand times. The main benefit of a rollable screen is improved portability - but it will take some time until the technology becomes commercially available.


Casio Exilim EX-H5

The Casio Exilim EX-H5 is a 12-megapixel digital compact camera sporting a 24-240mm equivalent zoom lens. Equipped with a sensor-shift type image stabilisation system, the Casio EX-H5 is a small and lightweight “tag along” camera featuring a 2.7” LCD screen, improved Dynamic Photo function and numerous Best Shot modes. The Exilim Engine 5.0 processing chip promises better colour and noise suppression. 720p high-definition movie recording rounds off the features list. In Europe, the Casio Exilim EX-H5 is available now priced at €199.

Anaheim Exchange, Not bad at all...

I recently went eBay shopping for some new filters. It was the only thing missing in my DSLR bag kit (I am an amateur ok?). While shopping through all the different shoppers, I found a listing with template too nice to ignore. The seller was called Anaheim Exchange... (Ooook, a not so well known city in California, I wonder what they can "exchange" there). Anyways, they carried a brand of filters called Marumi, medium priced and made in Japan(Can't be bad, right?). So I ordered one, about 15 USD for a UV and forgot about it. A week later, a neatly wrapped package came to my mailbox. It was an Italian made bubble wrap envelope (ITALIAN!), ok I like my mail order in nice package and not Chinese newspaper ok?

On to the Filter....

Wow, for 15 bucks, this was a bargain! The clarity was beautiful and the fit was snug yet easily removable. One problem tho, the Filter was the wrong size! Apparently, they sent me a 67 instead of a 77. I was not unhappy, as I needed a 67 anyways, this was only a "test" buy. I contacted them regarding the mistake, and they offered to send me a 77 one or refund the money if I sent it back (postage paid by them). I said I don't mind keeping it, and I will buy a 77 one too. They then offered me free shipping for the 77!!! Wow! Good deals!

Anyways, Marumi makes great filters for those who don't want to spend tonnes on Hoya. These Anaheim Exchange guys are also a great seller to check out!
