Olympus E-PL1 Overview


Designed with the consumer photographer in mind, the Olympus E-PL1 is a simpler version of the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) digital camera, yet it still has most of what enthusiast photographers would want in terms of high quality from a small camera, yet in a more modern body. In many ways, the Olympus E-P1 could be more appealing for the purpose of a high-quality "anywhere" digital camera with interchangeable lenses thanks to its slightly lighter weight and more straightforward interface.
Look and feel. Though it's really about the same size as the E-P1, the Olympus E-PL1 is more ergonomically appealing, despite its less organic appearance. The grip is more substantial, just right for the pads of the fingers to get a good hold; and it's countered on the back by a nice thumb ridge for a very natural, one-handed grip. The front body panel is aluminum, while the others are polycarbonate. If you hold the camera and turn it over and get picky about it, the body panels can feel a bit cheap, but you could say that about most cameras in this category. The fact is, though, when you're using the Olympus E-PL1, it doesn't feel cheap at all, and the heft is substantial, excellent for handheld photography.
Weight is a little lower than the E-P1, with the Olympus E-PL1 coming in at 1.06 pounds (16.9 oz, 482g) with card battery, and the new 14-42mm L lens, or 0.76 pounds (12.2 oz, 345g) without the lens. The E-P1 weighs 1.17 pounds (18.87 oz, 535g) with card, battery, and lens, and 0.83 pounds (13.4 oz, 381g) without the original lens. Part of the weight reduction can be found in the polycarbonate lens mount on the new lens, which has the L designation. The new lens weighs just 4.8 ounces (136g) compared to 5.4 ounces (154g) for the original 14-42mm M.Zuiko lens

The Train and An Elephant Story

Image
If you are hailing from the 3rd biggest town in Perak state known as Teluk Intan (Teluk Anson or Teluk Mak Intan, will surely know the story of this Train and the elephant. I remember growing in this town which has a train station which not there anymore. I do remember when the traffic is halted to the traffic when a train pass by. When I was 6 years (987), I went on the train ride up Tapah. Now the nearest train station would be either Tapah or Bidor. I guess it was closed down in 1989. The remains of the station buidling has been renovated and now being used by the driving school. The tracks are missing, but i doubt many are left. I remember the times when I cycled to school (1998) through a short route which crosses the old train tracks which are not jst covered with scrubs and bushes.But now I guess those tracks would be completly dismantled off by people as you can get good money from the metal or iron if you trade in at the junkyard. But the gate is still there, preserved t

A Proud Tamizhan !!

People tend to believe in science then realistic of pre historic findings. Why these were not applied when research was done. There are many hidden clues within India as i believe all the while. What about the herbal statue of Murugan in Palani that was made by the saint Bogar which contained great medicinal values. But it was slowly being sold to the world who is researching the value of hidden secrets. We the tamizhan's are the owners of our culture, legends and language. If we start digging we would fine a lot of surprises that we would not be able to imagine as it all started from 20000 years ago by the Tamizhan and English only came 800 years ago and which stands the top. Similar to apes which were existing far before the human’s and apes are the oldest living beings. What is valued is neglection? Why letting strangers to take hold of what belongs to us. Why are we selling ourselves make our money. Not knowing the value of what we are holding. If you start to research eve
