Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens was introduced back in June 1993. It is an old lens but many photographers still like it included me. It is sharp, light, and fast. It contains two high-refraction lens elements and one Gaussian optics. It becomes 80mm equivalent with attach to 1.6x crop SLR camera with APS-C sensor like Canon EOS 400D Digital or his brother Canon EOS 40D Digital. It is a wonderful portrait lens.
Introduction
Err… My tablet is running out of battery. Same apply to my smartphone. No worry, Patriot FUEL+ Mobile Rechargeable Battery comes to rescue. Thanks to Gadget Access (MY), I have 2 models of Patriot FUEL+ power bank – 6000mAh and 9000mAh to try. Both models has 2 charge ports (2.5A and 1A) to simultaneously charge two devices like tablets, smartphones and MP3 players. Built-in protection to ensure efficient and safe charging against under-discharge, over-charge and short-circuit. Added with power pass through technology too. And comes pre-charged and ready right out of the box. How do they perform? Let’s find out…
Looking for iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3? Well, you are in luck now. Malaysia Apple Online Store listed the prices last week. And it is now available to buy. Isn’t that great? Well, I will consider buying iPad Air 2 to replace my old iPad 3 if I have extra money. And if iOS 8 is better than Android 5.0 Lollipop. Read lot of people complaining about Wi-Fi issue on iOS 8. Hmm… Jailbreak Apple product is another reason from holding me back. You won’t be so lucky to jailbreak every version of iOS. On iPad Air 2 hardware itself, it is really a nice improvement from my existing model. I can surely enjoy better gaming experience. And faster performance from the latest A8X processor. Too bad that the price is not cheap. 64GB model is sold at RM1929. Apple should remove 16GB model and replace with 32GB model at RM1599. 16GB won’t be enough for games nowadays. If so, I will be a happy new iPad Air 2 user then.
Is PC industry dying? Nope, I just upgraded my extreme gaming and video editing computer system. Previous PC system serves me well for the past 6 years. And it is still able to do basic office, blogging and surfing tasks. But slow for 3D gaming and of course video, photo editing as well. There are still tasks that cannot be done by tablet and smartphone. So here you are – my latest extreme gaming and video editing computer system. You will need a powerful multi core CPU for fast video editing. Enough memory so that it won’t slow down when hard drive page file kicks in. SSD to speed up the whole process as normal HDD is usually the bottleneck that slows the whole system down. Therefore, slow HDD but big capacity is used for data storage and backup only. And SSD is for Windows OS and storage for ongoing tasks. Fast GPU is required for extreme gaming of course. And finally you will need good cooling system to let you increase performance further by overclock them…
Holding back from getting Xiaomi product due to lack of 4G LTE connection? Well, the wait is over as Redmi Note 4G is coming to Malaysia soon (maybe next week). Yup, the very first 4G product from Xiaomi for Malaysia. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8928 Quad-core 1.6GHz CPU with Adreno 305 GPU. Loaded with Android 4.4 optimized with MIUI version 5. But you can easily upgrade to MIUI 6 ROM yourself. The rest is almost the same as previous 3G model but this 4G FDD-LTE model has only 1 SIM slot. Do take note on that…
