Samsung NX10

Samsung NX10 is one review set that I can’t bear to return to the owner when the review period is up! Baby, I miss you.

Edelman and Samsung Singapore have kindly loan me a Samsung NX10 with 2 different lenses – 18-55mm and 30mm (aka the Pancake lens) for about 3 weeks.

The Samsung NX10 is a 4/3rd mirrorless DSLR and the size of it is smaller than a regular DSLR. The 3.0″ AMOLED display provides clear photo preview even under the glaring sun!

On the first day of the review, I tried it out with colleagues in my office and everyone went “WOW!” whenever they preview the pictures!

Reason? Everyone of us seem to have “almost flawless” skin in the pictures! The beauty shot mode in Samsung NX10 does wonders! The Pancake lens (F2.0) simply makes the portraits looked even better with the nice bokeh effect!

Now, everyone, including my blogger friends, is kinda disappointed when they know that I have returned the Samsung NX10.

Nothing speaks more than seeing the results yourself. Presenting you the “Almost Flawless” collection!

I think all Passport Photo taking service provider should use Samsung NX10 – Their customers will love them!

The Samsung NX10 is retailing at S$1099 with the 18-55mm lens and $1199 with the 30mm (Pancake) lens. Yup, this baby don’t come cheap.

While you may say that Photoshop can do all these digital touch up, but hey! You can preview the picture by a count of 3 after a shot is taken!

Will I buy it if I have the cash to spare? OF COURSE! Anyone care to sponsor me? I seriously wouldn’t mind one!

A big thank you to Mark Khoo of Edelman and also Daniel Goh of Samsung for extending the review set to me. I really love it

Correction: Samsung NX10 uses APS-C CMOS sensor instead of 4/3rd.

Super Junior in Singapore and the launch of Samsung Galaxy S, exclusive to SingTel!

Mr Yuen Kuan Moon from SingTel, Mr Sung-Hyun Moon from Samsung, Super Junior and the Galaxy S!

Super Junior was in Singapore on 6 Jun 2010 for the SingTel Samsung Galaxy S Media Launch and performed LIVE at the Showcase held at Marina Bay Sands!

Samsung Galaxy S

The short 3 min rendezous with the Samsung Galaxy S got me fall in love with it! Running on Android 2.1 OS, it is designed to allow users around the world to experience the “Smart Life”, which will change the way people view smartphones and how they interact with them to enhance their daily lives.

I love the Super AMOLED display and its ability to turn into a Mobile Access Point – i.e. making your Samsung Galaxy S as a portable WIFI HOTSPOT! The screen and Android 2.1 OS were pretty responsive too!

At the moment, the Samsung Galaxy S is carried exclusively by SingTel until further notice. The Samsung Galaxy S is available from $0 to $398, depending on the type of Galaxy 3G Plans that subscribe to with a 2 year contract.

Super Junior LIVE in Singapore

According to CNA, about 1,600 fans turned up for the Super Junior Showcase! While I did not take any video, I did take some decent pictures at the Media Launch as well as at the Showcase! Check out my facebook album to view them!

XinMSN was also there! Check out the media interviews and some highlights from the showcase!

Ok, I think this is the video of them disguising as women, as per the interview! OMG to the max!

I would like to thank DK, SingTel and Samsung for the invite to the media launch of Samsung Galaxy S! It will be great if SingTel or Samsung can extend me a Samsung Galaxy S review set to give it a more in-depth review!

Bangkok! Here I come!

Finally waiting for my flight to Bangkok (BKK)! Was rushing some long-overdue work till 12.30am and had to wake up at 4am to catch my 7.10am flight! The good thing is I will be able to sleep well tonight, but I just hope that I don’t get a migraine attack.

Feeling excited now, I mean, FINALLY I am feeling excited about this trip. Just got an email from Fabian that we will be heading over to Chatuchak together after I have settled my accommodation!

I think BKK is turning into a mini Singapore. Everyone seems to be heading there or already there now! Saw my colleague’s facebook update last night on the cool tees that she saw at Chatuchak. One of them is the “Facebook Addict” tee – I am so getting to HUNT that tee lor!

Remember the Samsung Food Photography workshop that I have attended previously? The folks from Samsung and Edelman were kind enough to loan me a Samsung Pixon 12 to complete the review! Will bringing the set with me to shoot the yummy food! To date, I am quite impressed by the camera of Samsung Pixon 12.

I am probably going to tweet as I roam around in BKK with Jayden, Fabian, Nadnut and “Ching Chong Boy” (aka CCB), provided I can get the 3G prepaid service! Yay!!!

BKK, here I come!!!

Food Photography Workshop by Samsung Singapore

Victor TAN — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:17:42 +0000

I was invited to the Samsung Food Photography workshop which was held on 7 Nov 09 at the Samsung Flagship Store in Vivocity and we had our actual hands-on session at The Garden Slug.

Our trainer for the day was Lawrence Teo from The PeepShow Machine and he shared tips on how best we can use our camera or high-end camera phone to take really great shots of food.

During the workshop, Lawrence used the Samsung Pixon 12 to demonstrate how a camera phone can take equally nice quality shots of food and taught us how to enhance the look of the food in terms of lighting, angles and some human touch.

Before: Showing the dish from the top.

After: Rolling up the spaghetti to create a more yummy effect.

Before: Capturing the cake from an angle.

After: Held a small slice of the cake with a fork.

The “After” pictures certainly give the food more life and added the yummy effect into it, isn’t it? Well, I would love to test out food photography using the Samung Pixon 12 but the phone did not seem to move over to my end throughout the hands-on session.

I would like to thank Hisham for referring me to Samsung to be part of this workshop. I’ve learned quite a bit on food photography! The rest of the photos can be found in my flickr album.
