I'M IN LOVE WITH HTC INCREDIBLE S (PART 2)

I'M IN LOVE WITH HTC INCREDIBLE S (PART 2)


It sounds a little showing-off but I have the reasons why I'm saying so. Many people told me "No, iPhone is the best now. No other phones can defeat". Hello, don't say as if I'm a dummy who've never touched an iPhone before. I'm having an iPhone, a Blackberry & a HTC Incredible S now and I'm speaking with full of justice. *ahem*

To be honest, I was a big fan of iPhone (and Blackberry previously) for their smartness & especially the HDR camera function, 5megapixels camera and flash. The photos taken by an iPhone never fail to please me with their soft skin mode, lighting adjustment. And if I want my photos to be even much chio-er, I just need to download extra photography apps in the Apps store. I was very happy back then. 

Until HTC Incredible S arrived at my house. I was introduced about the new "member" who wants to join the Crystal's gadget family that this tiny black phone has 8 megapixels. And no, it's actually not tiny. In fact, it's the biggest phone among the three with 4inch screen (iphone has only 3.5inch display). 

Ok lah, some of you can nag me like my mom "You buy a phone not a camera. What do you need a high megapixel phone for? Taking a normal photo is good enough". Ok fair, can I ask you to buy one of these phones below:

Just need to make a phone call, sms only, why need an iPhone ???

Is it so wrong to demand smart phone comes with a smart camera? No, it isn't. Especially, it's an phone for a blogger, photographers, reporters who need to capture photos, moments every where on the go. And that's the reason why I praised this HTC Incredible S so much because I don't have to download every single apps to beautify my photos. All the different photo effects are ready-to-use and real-time sharing!

Let me show you the different photo effects that HTC Incredible S has:


1. Depth of field. 
Super dreamy feel with blur background


2. Vintage mode

3. Vintage warm

Vintage warm with different lighting

4. Vintage cold

5. Grayscale

6. Sepia 

7. Distortion 
Was on the plane flying to Krabi and I took this photo. It turned out to be quite artistic, lolz


and many more....

My favorite macro shooting mode and HTC gives me the feeling like I'm holding a semi-pro DSLR with their auto-focus lens. Maxi intelligence! 


Low light shooting can never be easier. My iPhone cries out loud when it comes to this. 


Angry bird, what level are you? ;)

 Another artistic photo of the sky with Vintage mode! 


Food photo taken by HTC Incredible S (with flash of course)


Wanna know how iPhone photo looks like?









Here you go!


Some other photo comparisons:

My tissue box, cute? 

Taking photo of my friend Alicia using iPhone & HTC with flash. And obviously, HTC gives me so much better quality photo.

Normal shooting without flash. iPhone4 makes my skin much better but lighting isnt as good as HTC. 

So don't say that I'm bias to HTC Incredible S. Proof given! And this is not to mention that HTC Incredible S does have many different effects for movie shooting as well which iPhone has none. OMG! Seriously! Think again people! I mean I still love iPhone because I've been using it for a while but I can't deny that HTC does give me so much more excitement and happiness, not to mention how convenient and smart the phone is. How smart?

1. Friend stream: all status, photos update from Twitter, Facebook of the same person will be shown in 1 screen. Which phone has that? HTC!

2. Contact + facebook/ twitter = People. That's why, the moment you key in your facebook username & password, HTC will help you to find and match the contact in your contact and update it instantly. I was literally shocked when I saw my cousin's handphone number in UK in my contact. I didn't even ask her, neither she gave me. That's really amazing, HTC!

3. Photo tagging before uploading: Right! As per normal, you need to upload your photo onto the facebook first, then you'll be able to tag your friend. With HTC, tag anytime you want and upload it. The phone will auto-crawl the correct friend in your friend list. You got my salutation!

There are so many other awesome functions that HTC has which I'm unable to tell you all now. If you still insist iPhone is better than HTC, then you don't need to read my blog anymore. It's redundant!
But before leaving my page, please remember grab a HTC to try out and experience yourself and come back to tell me what you think.

Now I'm still placing HTC as champion! Cheh!

Last message before I end the entry, PLEASE VOTE FOR ME! How many times do I need to say this so that you will vote for me? Wtf! VOTE LAHHH!



Stubborn people don't want to vote yet? Sure, no problem! Support HTC instead of me by visiting their Website,  visiting their Facebook fan and following Crystal on Twitter

SAY HELLO TO MY HTC INCREDIBLE S!

SAY HELLO TO MY HTC INCREDIBLE S!



No other words for this 3S gadget (Sexy- Small- Stylish) 

My bad! Until today only I manage to find time to blog about my latest phone HTC Incredible S which I was given 2 weeks ago by HTC Team. I was lucky enough to chose any phone that I want. Initially, I was attracted to the Pink HTC Wildfire S but then the 8MP camera of Incredible S won me over. I'm a cam-whorer, big time :D

It took me awhile to get used to Incredible S despite I've ever had a HTC phone 4 years ago. Jesus, technologies have changed so fast, I was like a person who first time touched a hand phone, lolz....Talking about the sophisti-complicated functions that HTC Incredible S has later, now I'll just share few highlight stuffs that I'm in love with this tiny piece.

First of all, the design of the phone. So slim, so light, so stylish, so magical. Enough words yet? You gotta touch the phone yourself at....Singtel, Starhub or M1 shop, not mine.  


"Look at HTC Incredible S and you know it's different. The elegant contoured design is so unique that it stands out from any angle. The look, the sound, the feel and....the curve". There is no "the curve" word on HTC website, I added in myself to make it sound sexier. 

4" LCD Screen. HUGE!
 You'll never have to complain about how shitty your movie quality will be. Just shut up and watch!


Wanna be a director of your own movie? Oh yes, you can! With many different video modes plus a 8MP camera, you snap and record anything you want lah.


I love this! I love this! I love this!
Hello! I didn't say I love my photo! 

I love the camera with auto-focus and manual shooting mode (exposure, iso, white balance etc....) OMG! So mad talented! Got macro shooting some more *faint*

I'll show you the photos I took in the next post but trust me, iPhone just gotta dies of shame especially when comes to low-lighting, my HTC Incredible S does an incredible job. 


Ok, last photoshopped-pic with my HTC before I log off. There are so many awesome stuffs that I can't wait to share with you guys but I have not had time. Next entry perhaps!


For now, watch this:

LUMIX GH2

LUMIX GH2


OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!! I'm so excited :D

No, to be exact! I have been being bloody excited for 2 weeks til now. Guess what can make me so happy? If any of you have been following me closely on my blog, you probably know every times when I get a new thing, I'll surely blog about it. It's a MUST to share my happiness to people who love me and to raise the jealousy of people who hate me. HAHAHAHA *evil eyes*. This time is not an exception. I did have a new toy and this is the most expensive toy, most wanted toy of all time. Introducing to you, my new kid on the block:

Up close and personal view :D



Back view with 3" Touchscreen LCD! Slide the photos by your index finger, don't use middle finger. It's tough! 

Gorgeous side view of 18.3 mega pixels LIVEMos Censor camera comes with 14- 45mm lens :D. Forget about all the specs, who cares about the specifications of this camera, go search on Google. 

What attracted me most was the LCD screen is turnable. As such, I can just hold the camera and self- camwhore  anytime, anywhere without worrying if I'll snap an old man standing next to me instead of myself. 



GH2 is a MUST HAVE for any camwhoring addicts :D I salute the manufacturer for such a brilliant invention. I've heard about Panasonic for long time, however I always think Panasonic is good at LCD TV, fridge, aircond, yes? But once these Lumix LX5, LX10, GF1, GF2, GH1 and now GH2 were born, they've changed the mindsets of people about them. At least, myself! 

I've asked many friends of mine who are professional photographers. Most of them recommended me this camera GH2 and obviously, they made me more and more crazy over this tiny compact gadget. I asked, searched, tempted to buy it on Amazone.uk since the model wasn't sold in Singapore yet. Also, because it's pretty expensive, I hesitated until I happened to walk around Harvey Norman's store in Parkway Parade, the salesgirl showed me the GH2 just arrived their store at hell attractive price. That's it! At that moment, I'm sold completely. 
Not only buying the camera with standard lens 14- 45mm lens, I even "kiasu" bought extra the 45-200mm lens for zooming purposes, lolz.  
Total lost: S$2,3xx -_-

Kinda heart-broken by a big hole in my pocket, but the moment I took out the camera and tried some shoots, I thought It's totally worth it.

Enough, time for photos:

There are too many functions, shooting modes in this camera which I haven't had time to explore yet. I'm just so in love with the iA (Intelligent Auto) and the Multi-colors shooting mode, I used them most of the time :D

1. Shooting an object


Little rockers in the house :D Keef's collection

An artistic blurry shoot of me with the rock band at the back. I'm looking like a giant monster next to them, lolz.


Mongolian baby boys and girls. Cute! 

Another Mongolian baby couple in their traditional cloths. 


Shoes in the madness!


Mini bar at home! 


My little lucky and wealthy crystal tree.


Dried roses from Valentine's Day til now. Super love the color even they are all dried but not dead yet. 


Crystal's light. How beautiful! Yes, Crystal is always beautiful hehehe.

2. Scenery shooting


Spent a whole day today at Marina Bay Sands walking, shopping, eating and casinoing with Keef. At the end,   S$140 was gone to the casino :(


Sea view from our house living room! Beautiful scenery :D


And this is what I have after using the 45-200mm lens. I think I can shoot far up to the ship so, hey sailors! you'd better change your cloths while the door is opened :D


Beautiful view from Marina Bay Sands

The building looks like a human palm is Art Science Museum. 

Singapore Durian :D, *just kidding* It's Esplanade 



Took a walking photo of Keef from the back :D

Beautiful nymphaeaceae! 

3. Portrait shoots


I did not do any color enhancement on any photo. Amazing? You can even see every single strand of my hair is shining.... Now you know why I love this camera so much hor


Another portrait shoot with the LCD screen was turned toward me :D So easy job! 

Ok, last photo of myself! This shoot i did before my dance competition last week :D

That's about it! Wait til I learn more about this camera then I'll show you more different photos, I'm sure it's gonna be cool to the max. And oh, have I told you that this camera has another awesome function yet? It comes with HD 1080p/ 24fps video recording function. Kill me lah, why must be so fantastic you, GH2? That's also one of the reason makes me want to get this camera so badly. I mean, seriously, you all know that I've been doing quite alot video recording lately either for advertorial or filming purposes and now LumixGH2 just makes my life so earlier with all these jobs. Mommy love you, GH2! Muahx....

That also means you guys can expect a higher, better quality photos and videos plus an spectacular editing skills *ahem* from me. My skin is very thick so I don't mind people criticize that I'm praising myself, lolz...

Did I ever say that there will be no shitty photo on my blog? I did! One more time.
Just wait and see. Now, off to bed! Bye!
