A Long Awaited Picture of Olympus' New OM-D E-M1 Camera!

Found by accident at clubSNAP forums while deciding between a Panasonic GX-1 or Sony NEX-7.

A full picture of the new OM-D E-M1 mirrorless camera by Olympus.

Update: Additional information on this camera can be found here.

Update 2: Camera name is E-M5 instead.

New Blogger

Wow. It's been a good while since I posted anything at all. Blogger seemed to has gone through a fair bit of redesign and it looks mighty interesting...

Time to explore.

TRUE STORY TODAY

I have a Kingston 1gb Elite Pro SD card that kinda broke today. Nothing could read it. Neither a HP nor Dell laptop. Not even my Panny LX3 camera recognizes it. Can't remember what was on the card but it was probably nothing important.


Just for fun, I chucked the card into my IPAD via the CAMERA CONNECTION KIT... Lo and behold! It prompted me to import photos... which I did. And since my iPad is jailbroken, I fired up a file browser and copied everything off the card.


Things on the card were nothing I'll miss though. Took the card out, back to the laptops and camera, no go.


Back to the iPad and there it is again! Everything! Holy-I-Want-One-Of-Those-Super-Ipad-Thingamajig-Cos-It-Rescues-SD-Card-Batman!


Well that's kinda freaky but I'm also extremely impressed... :D


Now I wonder... How does the iPad and its Camera Connection Kit do that?

VLC Player for iPad Finally Available!

One of the best media players on Mac, Windows and Linux is finally out for the iPad. And it's FREE.

I've tried several paid solutions like CineXplayer and OPlayer but... They just didn't work as well as I want them to. Files slightly higher in quality than regular DVD quality just plainly chokes them out.

I hope VLC does better. :)

Update

I'm not blown away. OPlayer wins hands down. VLC still isn't able to tackle even the small RMVB files that OPlayer has no problem with. There is subtitle support for VLC though it plainly couldn't handle even a 1.4gb BDRIP MKV.

VLC gave a warning that it will not be able to able a 720p Video. Indeed it couldn't and the video pixelates and constantly freezes. Oplayer could do so albeit with heavy frameskipping.

VLC for iPad is definitely not the best solution at this point. There are no configurable options and the app crashes out on unrecognizable file formats while loading the video previews (default view, non-changeable, bummer).

At least it's a start. On he bright side, it's Free and it's the good old VLC we all love. :)

I find myself eagerly looking forward to the next version. No doubt better things to come.
