Diablo 3 Question in College Exam!

This little camera phone pic is causing a stir on the Internets.  From Singapore, this was supposedly a test question in a college exam.

The real test – what is the answer? A, B, or C???

Man, I could have aced my math classes if all the algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus questions were about video games!  PS:  If you don’t know what Diablo 3 is – well, I can’t help you out, you are truly not a geek.  LoL.

The 411 on Mirrorless DSLR (MILC)

If you had recently stopped by your local electronics store, you may have seen more advertising pushed on a new type of digital camera class – the mirrorless DSLR.  These cameras look like digital point and shoots (POS) but they have the ability to change lenses.

Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera (MILC)

Mirrorless Interchangeable-lens cameras (MILC) are just that – they are cameras without the mirrors.  MILC cameras use electronic viewfinders, which is just the rear LCD screen, to look at your subject.  Moreover,  some have no viewfinders at all.  Because of this, MILCs can be smaller and lighter, similar to POS digital cameras.

Mirrorless DSLRs use interchangeable lens just like the DSLR’s do.  Now you have the option to use regular pancake lenses, wide-angle lenses, and telephoto lenses, unlike digital POS cameras where the lenses are fixed with limited zooming and focusing capabilities.

A Shift to the Chunky!

Walking around San Francisco, I have noticed a shift from the classic staple of sleek aviator-type shades to a thicker, bolder, and (some may say) “geekier” eyewear.

SF-based eyewear company, Mayfourteenth, has melded a classic 60s look with modern details and materials. The look is a fresh, summery (and springy) take on urban eyewear….locally made, and nationally sported.

DSLR Gear to Get You That Pro Look While on a Budget

I came from a broadcasting background and grew up with camcorders, so I was weary when the first DSLR cameras hit the market with video capabilities.  Can DSLR’s do a better job with video?  As the years passed, I have to say DSLR cameras recording video is not a fad, it’s here to stay.

Point & Shoot (POS) cameras and camcorders are on a downward slide, while DSLRs are on the upswing, and in these next two years it will be an awesome time for fans of DSLRs.  The two big companies – Canon and Nikon, are waging a DSLR battle.  Just this year – Canon released the 5D Mark 3 ($3,500USD), and Nikon released two cameras- the D3200($700USD) and the D800 ($3000USD).  Starting later this year or early 2013, Nikon will be releasing the D5200, D400, and D800 and Canon will be releasing the T4i, 7D Mark 2 and 70D and you can expect incredible audio and video recording capabilities.

With all these cameras and lenses to spend money on, you might be thinking I don’t have too much leftover cash to spend on professional or prosumer gear like tripods, LED flashes, etc.  Wrong again.  Here’s some equipment on a budget that will make you look like a professional:
