If you missed my first post on the camera, here is another review and sample shots of it. The camera is great like I said perviously. A great advantage to the traditional DSLR is the compact size, however I have my reservations. The camera seems to have a flickering effect when shooting video, you can see that evident in the video I took indoors with the pancake lens at a local bookstore in Auckland especially when I was approaching store lighting closely. As indicated by the camera's manual the maximum continuos video shooting you can do is 25mins, which is good enough. Thats to allow the sensor to rest and not overheat. Still photography is great and next to none in its class and competes with higher end DSLRs as far as I am concerned. My Nikon D300 had a simmilar quality photos to this camera. A major drawback is the lack of support of Samsung Raw files on the Mac platform. Something professional photographers might frown upon. The camera would probably sell for around the NZ $1000 mark comparatively to the Aus $899 price tag. Overall I'd say this is the best point and shoot camera you'd have except that its a lot more than that. This is the camera you'd carry around with you most of the time, hence produce a lot more photos than those carrying the bulk of the traditional DSLR carnage but still produce similar results. I personally love it, and with few tweaks and further firmware upgrades from Samsung I see this new hybrid format blowing up big. My rating is 3.9/5.

Pixar unveils new toys coming to Toy Story 3 featuring a poster for some of the new characters in the movie. I think this is beginning to tickle the kid inside of me and I cant wait to play. Checkout more posters after the cut.
Broken Bells
Amazing website design for The Broken Bells band. Each planet represents a mix of the letters in "broken bells" and plays a diffrent song.
The House Of Cards
"An American architect has broken his own Guinness World Record by building the largest house of free-standing playing cards. Bryan Berg used 218,792 cards to create a replica of the Venetian Macau, which is on display in its namesake luxury hotel and casino. Berg took 44 days and 4,051 decks of cards to complete his model inside the Venetian, which sits at the heart of Macau's Cotai Strip, the China-ruled city's version of Las Vegas' neon alley" Via www.dailymail.co.uk

Telephone!
This video reminds me of Pulp Fiction for some reason. Lady Gaga and Beyonce did a good job on the video.
