Casio Exilim ZR20: First Touch

When I first laid my hands on the ZR20, I didn’t think much of her. After all, it looks like just another compact packed with super high (16) megapixels and a wide angle (25mm) 8x zoom lens. But as I got to know her better, I can’t help but to fall uncontrollably in love.

The ‘Premium Auto PRO’ function is highly intelligent and accurate. Point the ZR20 at anything and it analyses the shooting conditions instantly – faces, macro, backlight, lowlight, white balance, etc. The AF (Automatic Focus) is the most precise I’ve experienced among point-and-shoots. As shown in the photo above, the focus frames automatically align themselves to the right upon detection of the subject.

Then, other than the ‘Premium Auto’ and ‘Premium Auto PRO’ modes, comes the ‘Best Shot.’

Loaded with 41 ready selection to capture the moment with optimal settings, my personal favourites so far are HDR, HDR Art, Toy Camera, Monochrome, Slide Panorama, and Multi SR Zoom.

I’ve yet to fully explore all the functions, but during these few days of fiddling around with the ZR20, I’m really bought over by its high speed. Start-up is approximately a second and shooting interval is an impressive 0.27 second – achieved by having dual CPUs to record and process the images concurrently.

Think I’m showing off? Chill, it’s your turn now.

Show off your photography skills and stand a chance to strut home with the awesome Casio EX-ZR20! Contest runs from now till 20 May, so hurry!

P.S. Thanks omy and Casio for the ZR20. I’ll be taking my new toy out soon to let her bask in full glory. Stay tuned for the upcoming shots ;)

I Has Many Kit Kats

Strawberry, sakura green tea, green tea, dark chocolate, and pumpkin cheesecake! :D

Three are bought back from my Japan trip but the dark chocolate and pumpkin cheesecake ones are actually from Singapore! Yes, these Japanese flavours are retailing exclusively at NTUC FairPrice outlets only for the month of October or while stocks last. So you only have one more week left to grab them!

Anyway, we’ve come to the end of the Kit Kat®‘s Yer Big Break! Blog Challenge. Sheron, as expected, emerged as the big winner of a 4D3N trip to either Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Phuket! Congrats woman! It had been a ride. Cheers to the new made friends and Nestle team once again!

Yer Big Break! Design Contest

Remember my call for entries in Kit Kat®’s Yer Big Break! design contest two months ago?

Well, it had been a close fight, but the judges came to a decision and the winner has emerged.

Guess who won? ME ME ME!!!!

Yah, I wished. Anyway, that was my submission for the contest but I didn’t get shortlisted. *Runs to one corner and emo. Okay, kidding.

Back to the design contest, we have 10 finalists, and I’ll take you through all 10 artworks (provided by Kit Kat®). Forgive me if my two cents’ worth get critical, because it’s an occupational disease and I can’t quite help it. Read the rest of the entry
