Its Malaysia KLPF 2016 Again - 7th to 9th October 2016 @ StarXpo Centre, 15th Floor, Kenanga Wholesale City

Well, its actually nothing compared to Photokina or CP+. But still, its here in Malaysia.

But unfortunately this time we do not see Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Ricoh, Tamron and may other stated above. Seem slike a pity because we are looking forward to have a look at the Pentax K1. 

But there are some other exciting stuff we can look at.... we hope. Most probably the new Canon 5D Mark IV and also the new Mirroless Medium Format camera from Fujifilm. Other than that I guess there is nothing much. Oh and not to forget that DJI will be there as well. Wonder will they have the DJI Mavic Pro for test drive.

So for all our photography enthusiast fans out there, do check out KLPF 2016.

Until then, cheers and have a nice day ahead.

The New Sony A7R II - World's First BSI Full Frame Camera

Sony A7R II. The sharpness monster. With the BSI sensor and without a low pass filter, your can assure that sharpness and low noise at high ISO is something that would blow other current Full Frame sensor out there. Which the Samsung NX1 has already proven. And it shoots 4k video as well.

With 42Mp of horse power, the A7R II has slightly less firepower than the Canon 5Ds/5DsR. But without the AA filter on th A7R II, this could result in even more sharpness than the Canon's new but old 5D s/sR. 

We somehow get a better clue that this sensor might also be used on the upcoming mystical Pentax Full Frame camera. If so, I guess the Pentax Full Frame will be the only one which still stand the chance to beat this monster.

Lets see what Pentax will bring to the table. If they ever release a Full Frame. 

Until then, cheers and take a break.

The late Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole (Also knows as "IZ") 1976–1997 38 years old

When pure talent broke the barrier......... nothing can even stop one of the most unappealing singer in becoming a legend and earn his title as "The Voice of Hawaii" .

Don't let what seems to be a big problem stopping you from your achievements when you know that your passion and talent is much more greater than your problems.

I can imagine how Mr.IZ felt when he went up stage and people are looking at him with all kinds of impressions. IZ's could have left and in his mind could have said, what the hell am I doing here up on stage in front of thousands of people. And no he didn't. His passion is music and when he sang the first few words, audience were stunned and the whole room fell silent on hearing him. And from there, IZ went ahead and never looked back.

The late Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole (Also knows as "IZ") 1976–1997 38 years old

Source from Wikipedia:-
Throughout his life, Kamakawiwoʻole was morbidly obese and at one point weighed 757 pounds (343 kg; 54.1 st) standing 6-foot-2-inch. He endured several hospitalizations because of health problems caused by his weight. Beset with respiratory, heart, and other medical problems, he died at the age of 38 in Queen's Medical Center at 12.18am. on June 26, 1997. Kamakawiwoʻole was survived by his wife, Marlene Kamakawiwoʻole, and their daughter, Ceslie-Ann "Wehi".

The Hawaii state flag flew at half-staff on July 10, 1997, the day of Kamakawiwoʻole's funeral. His koa wood coffin lay in state at the state capitol building in Honolulu. He was the third person in Hawaiian history to be awarded this honor, and the only one who was not a government official. Approximately ten thousand people attended the funeral. Thousands of fans gathered as his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Mākua Beach on July 12, 1997. Scenes from the funeral and scattering of Kamakawiwoʻole's ashes were featured in official music videos of "Over the Rainbow" released posthumously by Mountain Apple Company; as of January 2015, the two videos as featured on YouTube have collectively received over 180 million views.

On September 20, 2003, hundreds paid tribute to Kamakawiwoʻole as a bronze bust of the revered singer was unveiled at the Waianae Neighborhood Community Center on Oʻahu. The singer's widow, Marlene Kamakawiwoʻole, and sculptor Jan-Michelle Sawyer were present for the dedication ceremony.

RIP Israel "Iz" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole.......

Could This Be True? New K-3 II Coming Soon?

Before the Pentax FF hype even have the chance to settle down, and now it seems that rumors have said that Pentax will announce yet another flagship camera. The Pentax K-3 II. 

Would that be a clever strategy for Pentax marketing. After the announcement of the Pentax FF, I doubt that people would even consider upgrading their K-3 or K-5 II/IIs to the new K-3 II where there is an even better announcement coming from Pentax. The mystical Pentax FF?

These 2 years has been an exciting year for Pentax. The K-3 and the 645z. Lets see what Pentax has to offer for this year....... Until then,

Cheers and take a break..

9th Maternity & Children Expo 2015 in Mid Valley? Is It Worth Going?

- Go early for parking.
When we were there on Friday afternoon, we almost had to circle the car park for around 1 hours hunting and stalking people from leaving only to know they are just unloading their purchases and going back for second round. And we received reports that the parking is pack full that it has to be closed and visitors are forced to park on the road side.

- Avoid Pushing Baby Stroller.
The place is tight and is poorly mapped out. Mummy and daddy with stroller can hardly move around. Even on a Friday which is suppose to be a working day is jam packed.

- Ask For Stock Availability Before Lining Up
Some visitor are disappointed when by the time the line reached them, only to find out the pampers size they wanted has ran out of stocks. Same with other products like the Tommee Tippee bottles.

- Try Visiting Jusco Or Aeon Big First Before Deciding
We are surprise to find even better deals in Jusco. 60-80% discounts for baby clothes. But it seems is only just for today. But there is no harm trying. RM120 for 3 packs of Mamy Poko diapers which is about the same as what the Baby Expo is selling. But, in the Baby Expo, you need to queue up like for half and hour and there is no promise that the stock will be enough.

Few of the products prices that we manage to survey:

- Tommee Tippee 5oz Feeding Bottle = RM10.90. NP = RM34.XX (But Latest Report Showed That It Has Ran Out Of Stock This Morning) Can still try tomorrow morning.

- Drypers Wee Wee Dry Buy Any 3 for RM123.00

- Diapex Premium 4 packs for RM100.00

- Mamy Poko 3 packs for RM120.00

- Baby Clothing = Starts from RM5 (Might Get Better Discounts In Jusco)

I think you will need to be there early. Stocks are limited and be prepare to queue up for hours. Oh, and also stand a chance to win a Mini Cooper in a lucky draw. Don't know how, because we didn't bother to queue up for registration because that queue alone is super long and we can't wait to explore what is there to offer.
