Very spooky indeed.

Well, i know i only just had that Sony Cybershot but the opportunity arose for a killer camera at a killer price so i went for it. First thing that attracted me to it is it’s zoom range – it goes from 25mm wide to 300mm – it will actually go beyond 300mm to over 500mm by lowering the pixels and on top of that you have digital zoom (not recommended but ok for quick grabs).

The screen resolution is far better than the Cybershot too, images and videos look brilliant on the display and like the Sony it can also shoot HD video in either AHVCD or Mpeg.  I went for the brown version but it also comes in silver, black, blue and red.

Anyhoo, here are my first pics and video taken with it. You know what surprised me?  Usually i open my pictures in photoshop to make aut0 adjustments to levels and curves and i found that the pictures didn’t need adjusting. So apart from the odd crop these pics are how they came out of the camera.

Still can’t believe he’s gone. I wasn’t a huge fan as such but i loved his music and i loved growing up in the 80′s with him and Madonna dominating the music world – the King & Queen. 1958 seems to have been a particularly good year – Michael, Madonna, Prince and Kate Bush all born that year. Never again will there be stars so huge.

Such a shame too that he was on the verge of a comeback, i think his new tour and new albums would have brought him back into the limelight for all the right reasons. How sad he was taken before he got the chance. But hopefully he will be remembered for his music and his dancing. RIP MJ.
