Chasing technology is like chasing the sunset as a photographer. Just as you thought you had the best picture on sunset, another one with more vibrant color will overtake it. Fuji has just announced four new cameras, of which two of them were what I was about to purchase. These are the Fuji 300EXR and Z800EXR replacing 200EXR and Z700EXR respectively. The 300EXR has an optical zoom of 15x, and a wide angle of 24mm! The specifications are very tempting. Well they have not been released yet in Singapore. Given the practice that Fuji always underprices Lumix and Sony, this buy is definitely on my radar screen.
Today, iPad is also released by the three telcos in Singapore. I don't believe I will go the "Apple" way. More than likely, I will be picking up yet another Samsung with Android 2.1 as the operating system. Why not Apple? Perhaps it is my non-conformist attitude or perhaps I don't like the fact, you are not allowed to change the battery, and even to put in the SIM card is a challenge. I was on the Apple way, until the iPhone 4 met with lots of brick bats about its external antenna.
Anyway, gadgets are like adult toys, keeping me occupied. However they do serve great functions as well as great hobbies as well. No wonder the French named them as "distraction" - from our daily chores.
