PhotoWorld Asia 2009 kick off last January 29, 2009 and it was my first time to attend such event for photography and camera, and I roam around the day 1 and see some photo exhibits, displays, show room of gadget, cameras and appliances, camera booths, and printing center.
I went to the Olympus booth and there I hang out there with fellow OlyClub members, and just tried this new DSLR called Olympus E30, its a little bit heavy but the feature is really awesome, you'll love this camera esp. if you love to use a lot of effects, pin hole, lomo effects, double and triple exposure, live preview of setting of brightness and flow of visuals on what it will look like in the digital photo.

The Olympus E30 is a very powerful DLSR, the camera is not yet available in the market and I heard it will be sold soon at a price range of P74k or maybe P80k.
I also visited the Canon booth, and they have this photo session activity with a model, and since I'm using an Olympus SP 500 UZ, I decided not to go up on the stage and join the activity, I just stayed below and used my zoom powered feature to get a nice shot of the model.
Saw the booth of Nikon and i just did an early price canvas of a Nikon D60 and just compared the price of a mall dealer and the Hidalgo sellers, and the price is really different, Hidalgo prices are much way smaller than in mall dealers. in Hidalgo Nikon D60 is priced at P26k only, but in the malls the price is at around P36k. wow. I'm planning to get a Nikon D60 soon, but I might stick to Olympus forever..hmm.

going back to the Olympus booth and saw this Olympus E520, it looks really nice and a best model start for a DSLR beginner like me. Priced at P45 with two lens kit 41-42mm and 40-150mm. While single lens kit priced at P37 (14-42 mm).
But I saw in the catalog about this Olympus E420, its the worlds smallest DSLR and it is really cute, I haven't seen it in actual size, but I'm very interested in having this. priced at P40k with two lens kit (14-42 mm and 40-150mm) while priced at P33k with one lens kit 14-42 mm, with advanced live view with face detection, shadow adjustment tech, 10 megapix live mos sensor, dust reduction system and 2.7 inch hypercrystal II lcd.
Now I missed the Olyclub gathering this Feb. 2, 2009 but will just talk to them in our http://olyclubph.com/ forum and its great to hang out with them and I just learned alot about cameras and tech stuff in photogtaphy.
see you on PhotoWorld Asia 2010.
