Blackberry Storm VS Sony ericsson c905




vs







Ok, for this week's task, miss Ida asked us to make a comparison between two phone models. She chose a Sony Ericsson C905 model and we have to choose another one. We have to select only one model between those two and specify why we decided to go with that particular model. I have decided to choose a Black Berry Storm 9500 model ( based on photo above).


The new BlackBerry Storm is the latest mobile phone from BlackBerry and the Storm is also BlackBerry's first touchscreen mobile phone. The Storm, with its slick candy bar style looks is also one of the best looking BlackBerry's and is most definitely not eye diarrhoea to look at :).

The BlackBerry Storm features a fantastic high-resolution screen and an incredibly innovative multi-touch UI. The Storm's touchscreen features what Black Berry call ClickThrough, whats this means is that you have to press down until you hear a click for it to work so in theory the BlackBerry Storm's screen is just one big button, cool!


Other features of the BlackBerry Storm include a built-in GPS system, media player, 3.2MP camera, BlackBerry maps, a 3.5mm audio jack and a memory capacity that can go up to 16GB. One thing that is for sure is that the BlackBerry Storm is a media and entertainment friendly mobile phone.

As for internet access the BlackBerry Storm has, EDGE, GPRS and HSDPA for super fast internet so you can get quick, no fuss access to site such as MySpace, Bebo and Facebook as well as all important fast Email access.

The term "i Phone Killer" gets thrown around rather hastily so we're not going to call it that but what we will say is that the Black Berry Storm is unquestionably a high quality mobile phone and is great value for money.:)


Thus, the conclusion is this Black berry storm give more advantages to us:)
When compare with Sony Ericsson C905 model, this cell phone just focus on the 'mega pixels' of the camera function and the ease for consumers to use blogs where we also access the blog using blackberry storm.

That's all my post for this task. tataa~

Digital SLR : A survival guide:)

Baffled by metering? Confused about exposure? Trying to get a clearer picture?:D

Im now at Nilam's cyber cafe, trying to accomplish my first written task asked by our BEL 260's lecturer, miss Ida or also known as miss Takeshi [as she is superbly obsessed with Takeshi Kaneshiro :P]. OK, here what she asked, insert any picture that we like, then write about that picture. The-must-put-a-picture that crossed my mind at that moment is a picture of a digital single lens-reflex camera or DSLR. Why I want to write about that? Simple, it's because I love taking photos. Plus, my boy friend, Pipi also has one:) The one he uses now is Nikon D60. He taught me loads of information, facts, and skill about SLR. I also have seen many youngsters today, about my ages had been truly excited when they saw or heard with this gadget [my new room mate also is on her way to buy one, seriously:D]. Im counting on that day, Annur! hehe

A digital single-lens reflex camera (digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera. Owning a digital camera has become a necessity to a photographer nowadays.

The basic operation of a DSLR is as follows: for viewing purposes, the mirror reflects the light coming through the attached lens upwards at a 90 degree angle. It is then reflected twice. During exposure, the mirror assembly swings upward, the aperture narrows (if set smaller than wide open), and a shutter opens, allowing the lens to project light onto the image sensor. A second shutter then covers the sensor, marking the end of the exposure, and the mirror lowers while the shutter resets.

The reflex design scheme is a major difference between a DSLR and an ordinary digital point and shoot camera, which typically exposes the sensor constantly to the light projected by the lens, allowing the camera's screen to be used as an electronic viewfinder. In most other respects, a DSLR is similar in principle and operation to a standard (non-SLR) digital camera.

Here are some tips that I have learned to get a better photos :

Support the camera properly : Craddle the lens with one hand underneath, don't hold the camera with two hands.

Keep both eyes open : It does feel unnatural, but if you are shooting action, you'll be able to find and track the subject easier.

Twist it : Don't stick to horizontal or vertical, tilt the camera to add a sense or energy to a shot.

TRY IT AND MAKE YOUR PHOTOS PERFECT:)


These are photos that were taken using DSLR and the photographer used the light trail technique

Well, I guess that's all that I manage to post for today,perhaps next time I can write more about the design principle or about the difference between DSLR and the non-DSLR camera :) I can't wait to share more.
