Xiaomi Yi – GoPro Alternative
Back in April, a friend sent me a link to a new sports/action camera that had just been release from a Chinese company called Xiaomi. I knew of Xiaomi from their (low-cost) smartphone market and it looks like they are trying to do the same to the sports/action camera arena by releasing the Yi at a suggested retail price of $65 USD. The main specs include a Sony-made 16MB BSI CMOS sensor, with Ambarella A7LS ...
Happy New Year !!!
Wow, the last time this blog was updated was 6 months ago. Quite a long time especially in internet time. Hopefully this will change for 2015, my goal is to update the blog more often ;) To start the new year off, we spent time with the family and had Ozoni, a Japanese soup which is eaten on New Year's day for hope, good health and luck for the year.

A Day At The Zoo
Last month, we took a trip to the zoo during the week where the weather was beautiful and warm right before the cold stormy weather made an appearance. I had a chance to try out a used lens that was recently purchased, a Nikkor 70-300 f/4-5.6 ED which has since been replaced with the Nikkor 70-300 f/4-5.6G IF-ED. Here's a small sampling of some images taken with the Nikkor ...
Auto Show 2013
Had an opportunity to check out the latest cars for 2013 at the auto show a couple of weeks back. I didn't stay long but did manage to test drive some new cars. I also got a chance to test out the FujiFilm X-Pro1 camera. Here are some sample shots. Some minor exposure adjustments were done to the Cadillac photos but everything else was just resize for web ...
