My First DSLR: Canon EOS 7D is Born

It had been quite sometime since I updated my blog. Reason to be, I am busy.. :P

Anyway, this time I am going to record something special. I have bought my very first DLSR!!

A Canon EOS 7D is born! Awarded by TIPA - as the Best DSLR Expert 2010 in the range of APS-C Cameras. With 2 Digic 4 processors coupled with 18MP capability, and a stunning image up to ISO3200, with a new 19 cross point auto-focus system, not forgetting its ultra fast frame rates, excellent HD video recording capability; EOS 7D has set a standard for all the others competitors in the market. No doubt, now I own the best APS-C range camera!

In fact, I was in a dilemma on whether to get a FF 5DMk2 or a EOS 7D. I have read through tonnes of review comparing both camera together. It is again a comparison of a chicken and egg. For me, each will have its own ability, and also greatly dependent on how the users want their gear to perform.

I choose 7D over 5Dmk2 because, I am fond of the new 19 cross point auto-focus system and the fast frame rate. Secondly, the lenses used in APS-C range is much more affordable.

Some might have wondered why I want to splash out a big sum of money to buy a camera? I struck a lottery? Nope; Am I rich? Hopefully ;p.

My biggest determination that pushed me is, I feel that the current compact camera that I have is restricting myself from capturing the "moments" and "quality" that I hoped to see. Secondly, it is due to the encouragement from my gf. She gave me an encouragement by forking out the very first Tamron 17-50 F2.8 lense for me ^^

Thanks to Canon Singapore, I was given a free Crumpler 6Million Dollar Home, a 8gb Sandisk Ultra CF Card, EOS 7D guidebook, and a Canon EF lense book. The Camera Body cost me SGD2245 whereas the Tamron lense cost SGD630.


Hopefully from this point onwards, I am able to share wonderful pics to all the readers and also record all the precious memories in my life!

Day 3 - KL Trip 2010 | Food Hunting

On Sunday morning, we headed to Pasar Baru Bukit Bintang to find for Ah Weng Kor Hainanese Coffee.


This shop is famous for his Hainanese Coffee and its kaya butter toast with half boil eggs!



Apart of that, the Crispy Popiah and the Chee Cheong Fun is worth trying too!




It was a great 3days 2nights KL trip to celebrate Connie's birthday. Both of us absolutely enjoyed! ^^

Day 2 - KL Trip 2010 | Sightseeing - KLCC, Lookoutpoint

The 2nd morning, we had a little bit of snack while walking along the busy road of Bukit Bintang.


After that, we headed for our brunch at Sushi Zanmai.



Appetizing..

Fresh edamame!

Scrumptious, well-prepared salmon sushis!


Juicy, deliciously teriyaki unagi!

Cheese scallop..

This is fit for king! Special edition from Zanmai!


Soft shell crab with pancake..

A green tea ice cream to complete the course..

After that, we began to hunt through the busy road of KL and finally we reached KLCC. Took tones of pictures along the way. Enjoy!

First time we visit a tourist center in KL.. :p





We walked through the street on leafy trees..

Finally we reached a spot where we are very near to the proud of our nation, KLCC Petronas Twin Towers.

I am proud of my model ^^

Both of us.. donned with MU jerseys. xD


At night, we went up to Lookoutpoint, Hulu Langat. We opted for Haven Restaurant and from here, we can see the whole KL scenery. This is the best place I had seen the whole scenery of KL.

The food of Haven Restaurant is not too expensive and the quality is good as well. We reached there at about 5pm, and we spend our whole evening admiring the sunset until the lights of KL city bloomed. Absolutely fantastic!


We ordered some light food to accompany us while waiting for the night to come..

The dinner was great and when day got darker, and the lights get lit up it was a sight to behold!








So lucky we were as, on that night there were fireworks on display.. we totally enjoyed!

A panorama shot to complete our day at Hulu Langat Lookoutpoint!


Take note of this landmark. This is the entrance to Lookoutpoint.

At about 9pm, we left and we headed for some supper in Jalan Alor. The famous Wong Ah Wah chicken wings.

When you visit KL, you ought to go to Jalan Alor's Wong Ah Wah and visit this guy. His chicken wings is barbecued with charcoal.

Look, how juicy it is! Slurp~!

The "Wah Tan Hor" make me craved for more.

The thick sour plum juice is also good!
