Sigma DP1
Sigma announced an APS size sensor compact camera at Photokina recently. The Sigma DP1 camera features a Foveon sensor that is identical to its DSLR sibling the SD14. The size of this sensor is much bigger compared to the rest of the compact camera in the market today.
It would be very interesting to see the image quality produce by this camera. Armed with a fixed 28 mm (equiv. FOV) F4.0 lens, this is the ideal focal length for us. The camera ability to capture in RAW and JPEG format is another plus point. We can't wait to see how this camera perform when it is available! :-)

Multi-tasking! Ladies does it better!
There has been much debate on multi-tasking, and who does it better. Ladies or gentlemen? Here is a real life encounter that we would like to share!
While drive along Orchard road yesterday, we came across a lady driving a huge MPV. The car was veering a little between the lane, which prompted us to check her out. To our surprise, we saw a cheque book deck out atop her steering wheel and she was busy writing on it. Now that's multi-tasking don't you think?
However, we are strongly against such dangerous action. It may cause an accident, so please pay full attention while driving guys!
