The Digital War -- Part II

Hey guys finally here is the pics of the Sony CyberShot H10 .. An awesome semi-pro camera for those who want something more than those point-and-shoot digicams .. I mean even those cameras are not bad but these babies are meant for those who take the art of photography passionately and just want to go clicking off the world!

So these are the two cameras which are fitting in my meagre budget of 25k .. To shoot off the common features, both cameras are 8.0 MP and come with a 2 GB memory card! Quite handy, I tell you. Both phones offer face recognition function, with the Canon S5 allowing you to zoom, identify and focus on 9 faces in an image compared to the 8 face-recognition ability offfered in Sony. Both offer optical image stabilization as well.

Sony H10 is fitted with a Carl Zeiss lens and has 10.0x Optical zoom and I think around 2.0 Digital Zoom. I am not sure about the digital zoom bit but I don't expect it to be more than this.

The Canon S5, on the other hand, comes with an ultra-powerful 12.0 optical zoom and 4.0 digital zoom and has 22 shooting modes, pretty neat huh? You can also change the lens for the Canon camera and as per your budgett and mastery, you can fit the camera with sophisticated and expensive lenses. Also, the camera offers extensive movie functions and man, it;s one hell of a buy @ 18.5k when compared to the Sony H10's price of 14.4k!!

So all you gadget freaks, I hope you liked the two-part article!

-- On a High --

Heylooo guys! Well, today I sure am on a high .. Don't ask me why cozz I don't know myself .. Well, ok so I do have an idea but still, can anything compare to the feeling of flying high on the sky knowing that professionally, the work you do is right bang on the money! As an analyst, my biggest joy is when I see a stock perform in line with a rating I assign to it as justified by the company's fundamentals! And especially when it's a Sell rating, the joy is multiplied 100 times the drop in the stock's price!

Anyways, this blog isn't about my job, so I'll refrain from making any more references to it save for one thing -- I have completed 1 year in Investment Research and there is no better way to celebrate the same!

By the way, I have been doing some camera hunting off late, trying to understand the fine difference between a digital camera (point and shoot types), the semi-pro and the SLR cameras! N to tell you the truth, I sure am bowled over by the variety which is available in the market. My eyes and heart are all set on capturing the entry-level SLR camera by Canon, the PowerShot S5 IS ..
