The Roof of Melbourne & the Nikon D90

It was Nikon D90 night last night. All those fortunate early adopters were given personal instruction by the ever entertaining Shelton Muller while we strolled through Melbourne at sun down on our way to a mystery destination.


With a couple of stunning models by our side we took in the awesome low-light capabilities of the D90 and saw the amazing advantages of wireless multi flash.




We then wound up on the roof of Melbourne at the Rialto towers 360 degree observation deck. Damn if one of our players finds himself back at work at the end of the day. (He works in Rialto Towers, some mystery.)

A fun and enlightening evening.

More Panasonic G1

Is it after the break yet...
As promised our quick little look at the cool new Panasonic G1.

Panasonic G1 - Up Close and Personal

There's something special about the feel of the G1, not quite sure what it is but it feels ruggedised. One last thing, the blue body looks fantastic in the flesh.

Panasonic G1 in Melbourne

Well here it is, and how cool is it.
This is one of those cases when, on paper it looks kinda cool, it's not till you see it the flesh that you realise it REALLY is cool.
It was quite a simple idea. Create a DSLR camera body as small as necessary based on the fact that the sensor doesn't need all that space simply 'cause the lens mount is a relic from the 35mm days.
I love to travel and I love to take photos. But I loathe traveling with my camera gear.

The Panasonic G1 is awesome.
It's tiny, but the grip is so designed that in the hand the camera's not lost. (Fear one belayed). Though, with an adapter, all your current Olympus Sigma & Panasonic 4/3rds lenses will fit, the super compact Panasonic 14-45 & 45-200 lenses are a perfect combination with the G1. (Impressed). The all electronic View-finder was a surprise. Bright & excellent contrast, with advantages we've become use to on only in compact cameras, such as face detection and focus point indicators. (Fear two belayed). The screen on the rear of the camera is extremely well thought out also. A big swivel screen that folds away when you don't need it.

I can't wait to get the G1 into my kit. The traveling-light dream is becoming reality.
We'll have video after the break.

Sony a900 night

And the tension builds.

I had a really good time and you guys put on a great show much better than (the other guy’s). Actually having someone like Shelton who got to use the camera in real life and not just a company rep telling me something I already knew was really interesting. Imported beer was a great touch of class too which impressed me. ; )
