i-phone - i-want-one

Finally the i-phone reached our shore. However is not through the apple distributor here but through gray imports. The i-phones were either from the US or Hong Kong. I saw the ads on lelong. A number of sellers are selling them but the price are very expensive RM 2700 ++. I'm hoping to get one if any of this seller are willing to part with their phone for something less than RM2000 I would definitely take it.

Canon Powershot G9


I came across a website on the launched of the new Canon Powershot G9. It is known as the flagship of the powershot series. Made to look like the classic range finder but packs the latest in compact digital photography. I only read about it. I have used and tried even owned most of the camera made however canon had never been one except for the time I used the film type canon prima. I hope to get this camera as it fits most of my needs. I photograph events, group photos for my school, my club and also the kampung. For outdoor, sports and action photography I used a Lumix FZ5. I'm not a pro, I'm just someone who like to take photos. This camera caters my need for simplicity yet it also offers me the chance for me to play with the manual mode that it offers. Furthermore I like the fact that this camera has the face detection function this is because it will be a great help when I shoot photos of people at function and also group photo. The faces tend to be to shiny or dark sometimes blurred so with the face detection tech. I hope it will end my problem with people 's faces. If you have any comment or experience of this camera feel free to leave comment.

Edifier MP220


I bought a speaker for my laptop. It is an edifier mp220 which a very small speaker that can be powered by USB cable. I bought it from lelong for RM67 the market price for this unit is RM99. This unit make it easier for to use my laptop in the classroom. As the classes that I'm teaching are not equipped with speakers this small speaker is very handy. I don't have to use the electric socket to power it. The sound that comes out of this system is acceptably loud and clear considering its size.

If you're planning to buy a camera too go here for info of the cameras on the market and you can even make model comparison.
