I have been using Canon for more then 10+ years now. Basically a Canon fan, period. But in this type of news, I really feel disappointed with Canon. It’s that true?
Canon EF 28mm f/1.8
Posted by David Chen in Thing I used on November 8, 2009
I need to get 28mm fix lens. Currently I’m using 50mm the most but it became 80mm on 7D. I need a wider lens. So 28mm will be perfect. My Christmas present? 
ISO 3200 & 6400 on Canon EOS 7D
Posted by David Chen in Tech, Thing I used on November 1, 2009
50 mm f1.8, f3.6 at 1/60, ISO 3200 |
50 mm f1.8, f3.6 at 1/125, ISO 6400 |
This morning when I saw my son was wearing his black custom, I quickly grab my EOS 7D and fire couple of ISO test. I managed to get 4 photos since he constantly moving in hurry to go to school.
The 7D is set to 8Mb, with staircase compression (8M) and then I resize them again into 1067×1600 which good enough for regular printing. The photos are still pretty good and impressive. I can see more noise on ISO 6400 however it won’t stop me to print the photos for family album.
So I won’t hesitate to use ISO 3200 and in fact even ISO 6400 again – night time, indoor, birthday with candle light, …

Apple new release – Magic Mouse
Posted by David Chen in Day to Day on October 20, 2009
Today Apple updated a lot of Mac machines but what really excited me is the mouse, Magic Mouse. It has multi touch surface. Very nice!
Click on any surface as “left click” and small area only as “right click”. Just like my MacBook Pro multi touch pad. Very nice !
It has 360″ scroll, screen zoom, two-finder swipe to advance though the page. Again like MacBook Pro multi touch pad. Very nice!
You can find more info about Magic Mouse at Apple website: http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/
It’s time for me to replace my Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse? Oh ya, I hate the old apple mouse, very hard to click on left and right buttons. That why I end up using “Windows” mouse.
Ops, it cost $69.00. That a bit too much. May be I wait till there like 50% off? But can I wait ….

“Lanterns Festival”
Posted by David Chen in Day to Day on October 7, 2009
“It’s time of year again, where we eat mooncake and at night time we will play lanterns, celebrate Moon Festival” This year we actually spent more time on evening on lantern. We were hoping kids would love it. Well, they did on “high tech” lantern.
On first day – Hian family bought couple of candle lanterns for their and ours kids. So we met up in everning after dinner. We, as parents were eagerly to get ready – make sure the candle stable and stick in the center, time flied, by the time we were ready, the weather turn back on us, windy. Well, we tried but my kids were more interested on his buddy toys. Only my little gal, Leticia was interested in it. I guess:
- Parents were very careful, and asking them not swing or move too fast, blaa blaa. So limit their movement. I admit it, I was worry. What happened it the lantern burn and drop on indoor. ….
- Fear of fire
- Cold that night and windy.
The second night, pastor David gave my kids 3 “high tech” lanterns. They were LED power by batteries. Kids love them. Almost no body care what they will do with it since there no really any danger like “real lantern”. The moment we got home, kids started asking me to close all the windows. They start playing with them. Evening came, we went out – walk around and mom told them a old story. Then Sue family joined at the parked. It was great night for us and the kids.
