My new Canon 450D DSLR

Well, I should have posted this 2 months ago when I got my camera from my wife for my birthday. I guess I was just too busy clicking away! :)

The Canon 450D (Rebel XSi in the US, Kiss X2 in Japan) to date is the best value for money DSLR entry level camera since and the specs can speak for itself.

Here's a 1:1 comparison from CNET:

I think my wife got mine (lens kit with 18mm-55mm ) for Php36,000 (roughly $750) I just saw the 1000D being released but still not at par with the 450D.

Sample picture? We'll here's one. :) I call it office desktop photography c/o the Dark Knight. hehe

Ok, Ateneo won, but where is Rico Maierhofer's Dirty Finger?

As expected the Ateneans got the 71st UAAP Senior's basketball crown.
No doubt about that, the score was clearly flashed on the scoreboards as 62-51.
Congratulations to the boys in blue!

I was there, and I saw how the game unfolded before my very eyes. One thing I didn't see, was the reason why Rico Maierhofer got ejected. Yeah, I know he got a technical...but did you see why????

Did Rico really flash a dirty finger? I've searched the net for pictures and found nothing.
What I need is a convincing evidence to justify technical fouls.

CAN ANYONE PLEASE SHOW ME THE FINGER???

I just want the truth and not some lame assumption by the referees.

If' it's really true, then I'm all ok about it, given that it's indeed deserving of a technical foul. But if not, the UAAP board has to do something about these calls by the referees. :(

If you have managed to snatch a photo or a video of it, please to send it to daveinmanila@gmail.com.

Like most of you, I just want the truth, and I want hard evidence to prove it. :)

Legit Apple Iphone 3G in the Philippines!

Wow! The Iphone 3G is finally coming to Manila! This time, it's not from Greenhills or some Buy and Sell mobile phone shop. :)

According to the Apple website (http://www.apple.com/), the iPhone will be available at Globe Telecom locations across Philippines. Which means there's probably one near you!

For information, log into: http://www.iphone3g.globe.com.ph

Lucky for Globe Telecom! I wonder what will Smart and Sun come up with next! :)

I guess this is something worth saving up for! :)
