I had a little camera face-off with one of my older colleagues today. He's in charge of purchasing new cameras for company use, and I told him I'd done quite a bit of research on cameras so I could help him decide what brand to buy. Then I told him the specs of my Ricoh, and pointed out that the macro capabilities are really good. He has a Panasonic Lumix, which is a new model with 10x optical zoom (beats my cam which only has 7x zoom), but I told him flat out that when it comes to macro shots, my camera beats Lumix anytime. I know coz' I tested a Lumix before I bought my Ricoh.
Buuut my colleague didn't believe my somewhat pompous claim, and challenged my camera to a macro shot face-off! So we both whipped out our cameras, and took the closest macro shot we could of some writing on a newspaper. And of course, after comparing the results, my Ricoh (naturally!) won the face-off, and after my opponent sauntered off back to his cubicle, I proceeded to do the Chicken Little celebration dance at mine. Hehehe. Dun play play!
In other news that most people wouldn't give a hoot about, I've finally gotten round to installing a photo stitching program and stitching up all my photos I had taken over the past few years to make panoramas. A number of them were taken while I was in Australia in 2004... so it's taken me 4 years to get round to doing this. Now that's what I call procrastination. Anyway, I uploaded the finished panoramas here for all yer viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
