Da Book!

The Unofficial Quintessential Guide to The Panasonic Lumix DMC- GH2

Whoopie! Got my book ordered directly from Amazon . com.
Understanding my GH2 now, got better. As all of us know how great this camera is, this book gave clearer explaination on its features which some was never known to exists!!! No thanks to Panasonic's original Instruction Manual which is in dull black and white, monotonous explainations , cheap printing....small sized fonts....
This 271 paged book is in full color, is a must-have for all GH2 owners. I strongly suggest to Panasonic that they give this book away free of charge (replace the manual) so that people would love their camera more deeply.

Go get this book (USD 29.95) by Brian Matsumoto and Carol F. Roullard  ISBN: 978-1-933952-89-5. It is worth every sen of it. I am not sure if it is available at the local book stores here in Malaysia yet.

Early Birds

Raptors

The Malaysian Raptor Watch would be held on the 10th. March, 2012 in Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.

This morning, cruising around Kuala Selangor from Klang, I made many video shots and noticed 'extras' especially the bigger and heavier ones. Of course, the usual Brahminy Kites, Crested Serpent Eagles, a resident White-bellied Sea-Eagle and the Black-shouldered Kite are still there but these new comers are quite difficult to be identified.

Anyway, here is the video.

Kindly give your comments and id if possible.

Thanks.

Red Scarlet vs Panasonic Lumix GH2

Now, that is brave.

The Panasonic Lumix GH2 is placed with the Professionals in film making where other DSLRs dare not thread.

See here for the full report.

More about RED. The camera that shot Underworld: Awakening, The Hobbit, 12-21-11,Green Zone, The Untold Story, Prometheus, Jumper.

The Red Scarlet would cost us RM48,000.00 and the GH2 at RM3,999.00.

I am still wondering why even here in Malaysia, the idol worshippers and followers for the two 'top selling','photo' camera brands are in denial mode that the GH2 is being proven time and again to be a top video shooter.

You do not need big bucks and ultra expensive lenses to get good results.

Or is it that many cannot accept that a company which manufactures other kind of electrical products 'would not be able to' make better cameras than them?

Wake up guys!
