    Camera talk...

    I'm storing my lenses in plastic airtight transparent food containers like these along with microwaved silica gel packs [Flipkart Link] Sometimes, I remove the lens cap so that light enters through them. Once in every 2-3 weeks I keep the whole container open in the balcony to bask in the sun...

    Camera talk...

    I had bought a Sony A6000 with an additional 50mm prime for 67k last year. All of my friends advised against it and said I was crazy investing in an unknown cam when I could get famous Nikon and Canons with at least 2 lenses for a lesser price. I was skeptical at first, but after a year of...

    How is package of 9L for Bengaluru?

    Sony HX60v VS Sony Rx100... which one best to buy?

    Go for the RX100. The image quality far is far superior to the other ones. Those ultra zooms offer mobile phone like quality at its telephoto end. You will be disappointed with the IQ from the Sony HX 60v when you compare it with a similar photo taken by a recent mobile phone. Check this guy's...

    The Official Xiaomi Discussion Thread

    Its made of plastic, but looks durable enough. I'm using two sims. The second being a nano sim, I had to cut the micro sim manually to fit in. The connectivity is better than the earlier Samsung Galaxy core II phone in which both the sims were used.

    Cowon EM1 vs soundmagic ES 19s which one to choose?

    I've had SoundMagic EM10, ES18, Cowon EM1, Sennheiser Cx180 etc. Build Quality: Cowon > Sennheiser > SoundMagic. The cables on soundmagic will split itself, especially the left one. It is not a typical rubber tube, but rather a sheet of rubber rolled and glued to form a tube. If you have a...
