Nikon D90 12.3MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens

Nikon D90

DSLR D90

Announced : 27-08-2008

The first thing that will amaze photographers about the D90 is its stunning image quality, which takes its inspiration from Nikon's flagship DX-format digital SLR, the D300. The D90's image sensor and 12.3 effective megapixels combine with Nikon's exclusive EXPEED image processing to deliver outstanding images featuring fine details, smooth tones, rich colors and low noise across a wide ISO sensitivity range.

The D90 is equipped with an innovative movie shooting function that delivers genuinely cinematic results, enhanced by the creatively shallow depth of field made possible by the DX-format sensor. This is further refined by the optical quality and broad selection of NIKKOR lenses — the same lenses relied upon by professional photographers the world over. Thanks to the D90's large image sensor, D-Movie images exhibit less noise than those of a typical camcorder, most notably in low-light situations.

Detail

Sony Alpha NEX-5

IN OUR shootout, we went out in the field and tested the Olympus E-PL1, the Panasonic Lumix GF1 and the Sony Alpha NEX-5 in a typical outdoor situation, recording stills and videos.

Each camera was tested by shooting nearly identical images and videos and then the results were eyeballed together on the same colour- calibrated monitor.

Usability

All three cameras performed reasonably well in terms of ease of use, although each takes a different approach to how common settings are accessed.

For example, while the NEX-5 takes a more minimalist approach (which means going through a lot of menus), the Panasonic GF1 has a lot of settings mapped to physical buttons (which results in quick access but may be confusing to some).

The Olympus hits the best balance however - although largely menu-driven, access to important settings requires only one or two button presses to get to and on top of that, the camera's iAuto mode allows even a novice to manipulate advanced settings without having to understand the technical terms.

In terms of usability, the E-PL1 has the best balance, although advanced photographers may appreciate the GF1's multi-button system for quicker access.

Kaya kerana internet

Seorang pengemis di China, Cheng Guorong menjadi kaya dan terkenal selepas gambarnya tersiar di Internet, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Walaupun selekeh, berambut panjang dan berjanggut, lelaki tersebut memiliki wajah kacak yang menarik perhatian ramai peminat sejak gambarnya tersiar pada Januari lalu.

Guorong, 34, digelar pengemis paling seksi di China dan dia turut mengecapi status simbol seks di kalangan pengguna Internet.

Nasibnya berubah selepas gambarnya dirakamkan oleh seorang jurugambar amatur ketika dia berkeliaran di jalan raya di bandar ini untuk meminta makanan pada tahun lalu.

Tidak lagi menyelongkar tong sampah, Guorong kini menerima banyak tawaran iklan dan dia turut bekerja sebagai model peragaan.

Pakaiannya semasa dia menjadi pengemis turut menjadi ikon fesyen.

Para peminat lelaki tersebut turut menderma sebanyak 100,000 yuan (RM49,138) bagi membantunya memulakan hidup baru.

Dia juga ditawarkan berlakon dalam sebuah filem mengenai kisah hidupnya yang diterbitkan oleh penerbit filem tempatan, Deng Jiangguo dan menelan kos sekitar 72 juta yuan (RM34.3 juta).

Filem tersebut akan menjalani penggambaran pada September depan dan ia dijadualkan ditayangkan pada Februari 2011.

Guorong berpindah ke bandar di timur China ini pada 1996 untuk mencari kerja bagi menyara isteri dan dua anaknya tetapi malu untuk menghubungi mereka setelah dia hilang pekerjaan dan wang simpanannya habis.

Saudara-maranya menyangka dia mati sehingga mereka melihat imej-imejnya di Internet.

Guorong tidak dapat menahan kesedihan apabila mendapati bapa dan isterinya terbunuh dalam satu kemalangan kereta setelah dia kembali ke kampung halamannya untuk kali pertama dalam tempoh 14 tahun baru-baru ini. - Agensi
