I was suppose to have a long 4 day break on the day of National day. (9th Aug) and was looking forward to go out and shoot some pictures or meet up with some friends. But during the last night shift I started to develop a flu like symptom followed by an unrelenting cough. It got worst when I cycled home from work and I couldn’t sleep well as I spent most of my energy wheezing and coughing my lungs out. Horrible horrible experience. Even when my colleague called me up for an OT I rejected outright (not myself usually) as I have not been able to sleep for the past 24hrs. I’ve drank some cough syrups and managed to get some sleep finally on Friday, spending the whole day in bed. Lucky me, I got better today after managing to sleep non-stop for more than 6 hours.
Anyway, I was suppose to write up a short bike trip and a short review on my Nex 7 that I took with me. The photos are over here in my fb page. The last 2 photos were taken another day during a night cycling trip with a friend from Bedok to Marina Bay. I would say the 7 is a great upgrade from my 3. I was more at home with the viewfinder and the controls as they resemble more of a SLR rather than a PnS like the 3. There is however, some flaws to the camera. The first being the size of the camera. It’s just too small for my fat fingers. I have trouble gripping it and without an inbuilt Anti Shake system means I have trouble shooting it handheld at anything lower than 1/30. I think I need to get a grip or a case soon to solve this issue. The other major F**k up thing is the bloody video button. I think most who have read the reviews knows what I’m talking about. It’s just stupid to have the button so easily triggered. I think this are the 2 major problems I have with the camera. Other then that, the camera serves my purpose well and I am seriously considering dumping all my SLR gear if and only if they come out a Nex with FF sensor… : P
I will try to pound out my bike trip later. Need to rest more.
