I’ll get one once it ships worldwide!

Fell deep deep in love with this! I don’t know how to express my infectious feeling for this camera! One which is almost friendly to my wallet, if I hadn’t overspent on so many other things before I discovered this! The Canon EOS 7D is, as what I’d said when I first laid my eyes on it, all I want for Christmas! (Alright, Christmas gone and 7D still isn’t mine.)

Starting my very first post for Claud talks Gadget with the DSLR that’s made to advance…

After using Canon EOS 7D in many lowlight places and occasions, I must say, this is by far the best camera for all you folks out there who prefers shooting without the flash. Well, that’s me! I’m so not a flashy person. :P

If you’ve noticed, photos posted by moi has been either from my mobile phone or my Nikon D40 which I rarely use these days. Cause its acting cranky! Sadly no one bought me the Canon 500D for my birthday. My Canon IXUS was sold as it was under used and I don’t want it to end up like my Fuji Z3 which I can’t recall where I kept it. But I know its still somewhere around my room. So anyway, to replace and fill my need to take photos wherever I go, I’m using the LG Viewty Smart GC900 which I was seeded before CommnicAsia. Untill today, I’ve never used it as a phone since I’ve got the N97 which matches my needs more than the LG Viewty Smart.

Since I can’t use two phones at the same time, the LG Viewty Smart ended up being my stand-by digital camera. Just because I love the Art Shot and Beauty Shot feature. And to be fair, it takes pretty decent photos too. As compared to my old Samsung Innov8, this phone takes clean and clear shots in the day too and the night shot on low ISO is pretty neat also. Will have samples as I share my experience with the LG Viewty Smart in this post. (Keep scrolling!)

To show you the features and how the LG Viewty Smart camera works, I’ve done a quick demo video of it. In HD somemore! This video should give you a good idea of why I am using it as my temp digital camera.

And while you’re still ogling over the camera features and UI, go check out what Tetanus did to his LG Viewty Smart! Damn hardcore I tell you!

If you’re looking for a replacement to your digital camera, the LG Viewty Smart might be the one for you. Can go explore and try it out more when its out in store. But personally, I cannot tolerate the slowness of the phone and the tendency to lag whenever I use it. I’ve seen Diana used it all these while, and seems like she’s enjoying it. Different users have different preference and tolerance level, so you got to go try it out yourself.

Now let me share some shots I took with the camera over the weekend…

Taken with LG Viewty Smart Art Shot (Cold)

Photo montage created using Picasa NOT a feature of the phone!

Very emo feel right? <3 it!

As you can see, I really love the cold effect from the camera! Makes me feel very “Lomo” whenever I see a shot. But sadly, special effect shots can only take at 1MP (1280 x 960) instead of the usual 8M.

Also tested taking with night shot mode and these are what I got…

And here’s a video taken over the weekend of the Fireworks at NDP09 NEshow 3 from outside Marina Square recorded with LG Viewty Smart…

Finally, a comparison of the ISO settings for a night shot. First shot taken at ISO 400, second at ISO 200 and the last one taken at ISO 100.

ISO test at 400, 200 and 100

What do you think of the 8MB camera on the LG Viewty Smart phone? Not bad huh? Yap, that’s the beauty of this phone. Nuff’ said.

It’s PC SHOW weekend! And I know how it feels to be squeezing in the crowd and itching to buy something home even when you’re not planning to. So today, I’m going to have a compiled release for Claud talks Gadgets aka Claud’s PC Show guide! I am going to tell you what I’d been using and itching to get and why you should look out for these gadgets too at PC Show 2009!

So what have I got in store for this issue of Claud talks Gadgets?

• A cool MP3 player
• Latest TVs
• Get a second screen for your lappy!
• A bad ass but very portable DSLR
• Many phones!
• And new macbook pro + iPhone 3GS

Let’s find out… keep scrolling after the fold.

My first few weeks with the camera were happy and joyful. Purchasing the D60 was everything that I had hoped for, and I was completely at peace with my decision. I was able to easily adjust the manual settings and snap pictures that had previously been impossible for me. The form factor was perfect for my hands, and each picture was captured with a satisfying click of the shutter. But as I spent more time with the camera, I realized that these thrills would come with any DSLR camera and the D60 has some serious limitations.

I think I’ve finally found the mobile phone I want! After trying out few other to-consider-getting phones, finally I found one that meets my needs!

The Samsung Innov8 (GT-i8510)!

When I was writing CtG1, I was told something exciting was coming soon from Canon’s DSLR range. And in CtG 2, there was the announcement of Sony Alpha 900. And now, I’m excited to share that Canon has launched their new DIGIC 4 processor and its powering the new EOS 5D Mark II!

Also in this issue, review of Samsung Omnia and I share 2 exciting events that’s coming very soon…
