DiCAPac WP610 Waterproof Underwater Case for LX3

P1040198

P1040200

In preparation for my upcoming trip to Bali, I went to scout around for a waterproof case for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 camera so that I can have the option of taking the camera into the water. The research made available a few options for shooting under wet conditions – 10bar underwater housing, Nereus Waterproof Housing WP-500 and DiCAPac WP-610 Waterproof Case. The 10bar housing is definitely over my budget and is more suited for the serious & professional users. The Nereus WP-500 is good value for money (S$45) but I wasn’t really comfortable as the bag is clamped tight with 2 plastic strips and 3 screws. I needed a product that gives faster and easier access such as the DiCAPac which uses Velcro and sealed with waterproof zipper. DicaPac WP-610 for LX3 (made in Korea) is priced at S$89 and comes with free postage in Singapore. The delivery was very fast as well – I made the order on 14th July 2010 and received it on 16th July 2010!

DiCAPac WP-610 waterproof case is also compatible with various camera models. Check the DiCAPac Fitting Guide if your camera is not listed above. It is most likely that DiCAPac will have suitable case for your camera.

Prior to usage, it is recommend in the manual to conduct a leak test by putting a piece of tissue paper in the waterproof case and then submerged it in water, shake it around and leave it for a couple of hours. After that, remove the tissue paper and check whether it’s dry. For my case, I found it to be perfectly dry.

Although I do not expect that the photos will come out professionally but it’s more of having the novelty to snap photos while in the water so that I can have some memories to reminisce. This is a vast improvement from previous experiences where I have to leave the camera on dry land (or even the hotel) when I am out having fun in water sports.

So now it’s really putting it into use during my trip to Bali and then update with a review. 🙂

Updated on 12th Aug 2010. Hey, I am back from Bali!

P1040929

It’s pretty difficult to take a good photo as the fishes are swimming around to eat the beard thrown by tourists. Yes, I wasn’t the only group there at the snorkeling site, there was around 6 to 7 boats crowding around.

P1040933

Yeah, there was a few scuba divers as well too! 🙂

The DiCAPac WP-610 Waterproof Case was pretty usable and have met my usage requirements. I was able to take the camera out from the case with ease whenever required without using any other tools. The removing of the camera from the wet case does requires a bit more care to ensure that water does not flow into the dry compartment. There wasn’t any leak from when I use it both in the swimming pool (1 hour) as well as the open sea (1 hour). But I did noticed that there was some condensation inside the case while at pool even though I left the silica gel inside the case together with the camera. It was probably due to the strong sun shining at the case while it was floating on top of the water. As for the open sea, there are constant waves splashing against the case at all times so it basically wet throughout. This is my opinion and may not be true. But even with the slight condensation (not touching the camera), the camera was still functional but I was quite skeptical and quickly kept it away from the sun (hide it under a beach towel).

As for the quality of photo taken with the camera in the case on dry land, I wasn’t able to spot any noticeable difference or drop in quality so I reckon that the lens cover clarity was up to par. The only thing I was quite afraid is whether I will scratch the surface of the lens cover when I was having fun or when it’s kept in my luggage bag. So please take note of this! The photos taken in the water was of resonable quality, of course, it will not compare to the professional stuff but it works! Perhaps, I should find another trip to snorkel in more still and clearer water to make further assessment. I also forgot to try taking videos in the water! Yeah, excuses again to go for a trip, right? Haha!

The DiCAPac WP-610 Waterproof Case was rather bulky and it drew the attention and stares of envy from other tourists! So whenever I was not doing any water sports, I will take the camera out from the case for easier carrying around. The neck strap provided made carrying of the case in water easier and it was easy to swim around with the case slung around the shoulder too!

My conclusion is that the DiCAPac WP-610 Waterproof Case serves my purpose well enough and is of reasonable price range. The main thing is that there was absolutely no leak (did not try more than 3m deep) and of durable quality. I seriously consider it a good buy and will recommend it to anyone (casual users) who wants to capture fun memories while engaging in any water activities!

If there is anything you wish to know further, please do ask in the comments. Thanks.

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

I needed a car kit to charge my iPhone 3GS while on the move so I went around searching for a car mount with charging capabilities. In the end, I found the above “AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod” in DealExtreme.com which cost USD $16.45 (S$23). Other then it is a car mount with charging capabilities, it is also a FM transmitter for iPhone and iPod!

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

The box was pretty mangled up when I received it but the contents are still intact. I made the order on 8th May 2010 and received it on 20th May 2010. Oh yes, shipping is free at DealExtreme.com!

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

Suitable for iPhone, iPod, MP3 and all cars. For your info, the car mount is made in China.

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

The contents in the box – it also comes with a mini instruction slip.

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

Flexible clamp to keep your iPhone/iPod in place and you just need to press the button on the left to release the clamp. Both the clamps and the back are covered with rubbery material to protect your iPhone/iPod from being scratched. For all those folks who are using protective casing on iPhone/iPod, please be aware that there is a possibility that it might not fit into mount with the protective casing on. The reason being – I am using SwitchEasy Vulcan and I just barely squeezed my iPhone 3GS into the car mount with the clamp already fully opened. It’s freaking tight fit!

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

Top of the car mount where you can select the FM channels (on the left “QS”) and then adjust to your desired frequency (using up/down button on the right).

The audio cable connection on the left of the car mount.

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

For all the non-iPhone devices, you can still charge them through the standard USB output socket (on the right side).

The angle of the tilt can be adjusted from the the back of the mount.

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

Setting up in the car. First thing I tried was to see whether the charging mechanism works. It’s works fine!

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

You can use any FM frequency of your choice from 88.1 to 107.9 Mhz to listen to music from you iPhone/iPod.

AllKit Cigarette Mount Holder and Charger with Full Range FM Transmitter for iPhone and iPod

Final setup, music streaming via FM was surprisingly good. The quality was acceptable and there wasn’t any noticeable noise or distortion present. This will be fantastic as I will be able to listen to my favorite tracks during any long driving trips up north (Malaysia).

As I do use my iPhone as a GPS, so the car mount as well as the charging is a definite must-have. The only flaw is that I have to look down from time to time to check out the route but it’s not frequent as there are voice intructions for GPS as well. It will be idle if the iPhone car mount is on eye-level.

Well, the reason I didn’t get a eye-level car mount is because most of them comes with a glass suction to stick on to the windscreen. As my windscreen is covered with solar film, it will not hold strong and long. My friends have mentioned this scenario to me countless times and most of them also comes with goose-neck pipe extending from the windscreen, it wobbles a lot when you going through some rough terrain!

Night view of the car mount.

I must say that I am pretty satisfied and it’s worth the USD $16.45. My comments is that if there is a on/off switch for the charging (off the blue LED too!), then that will be great. Also, the furnishing is not that fine and I was momentarily shocked by the car mount thickness. The car mount also wobbles a bit due to the goose-neck extension. But overall, I am a happy man and will still recommend you to buy it too!

Update: On 30th Dec 2010, I noticed that the bright blue LED is dead….but charging still works.

New Desktop PC

New Desktop PC

New Desktop PC

Recently went to Sim Lim Square to purchase a new desktop PC as my old one that I have been using for years is slowing down considerably. I have also been pondering to change for ages and now when many cool games (Dragon Age, Left 4 Dead 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Mafia II, Max Payne 3, etc) are being or going to be realeased, it only motivates me further to upgrade. Total damage for the new system (without speakers, keyboard, mouse and monitor) is S$1226, which I will breakdown later in the post. 🙂

New Desktop PC

NZXT Beta Evo mid tower black steel chassis at S$79.

New Desktop PC

NZXT Beta Evo

  • Black Internal finish for sleek look
  • Support for up to 6 120mm fans with the option of dual 140mm at the top
  • Meshed front panel allows for better airflow than traditional cases

More specification, information and product awards can be found on NZXT webby.

New Desktop PC

Intel Core i5-750 Processor for my Quad-Core Desktop.

New Desktop PC

MSI P55-CD53 mainboard and Intel Core i5-750 Processor bundle is at S$468. Both comes with 3 years warranty each.

New Desktop PC

Seasonic M12II 500W PSU at S$119. The PSU is modular and comes with 5 years warranty.

New Desktop PC

Team Elite DDR3 2 x 2GB (4GB) Set at S$146. Love the RAM heat sinks and it’s ideal for overclocking.

New Desktop PC

Samsung DVDRW 22X SATA at S$34.

New Desktop PC

Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB SATA at S$121. Actually wanted to get a Caviar Black but because I have another 1TB Green, I thought I could RAID them next time if I decide to go with network storage. 🙂

New Desktop PC

MSI R5770 (ATI Radeon) at S$259. 850MHz Core, 1GB GDDR5 4800MHz Memory and with DirectX 11 & OpenCL support.

New Desktop PC

Fixed up all the parts and spent about 15mins to do some cable management. It’s really a spacious chassis which is good for air circulation. Oh, the chassis comes with 1 x 120mm fan (with blue LED) at the front grille. I will put up a couple of the 120mm fans soon!

New Desktop PC

Connected the new desktop to my 42″ plasma TV via HDMI to try and after which continue with the installation of Windows 7. After the usual process of updating and installing the necessary drivers, the first thing I did was install Left 4 Dead 2 and played for a couple of hours on the TV. It was really cool to play games on a big screen but there was some issues as well – my wireless keyboard and mouse was spoilt so I have to use a wired set, which caused me to stretch my arms to play due to the short cable lenght. Also I have to sit on the floor to play as the keyboard & mouse was on my coffee table and this hurts my bums! Wahahaha!

Think next up, I will consider to buy

  1. Wired or Wireless keyboard/mouse ( I will be using the desktop in study room)
  2. 24″ LCD monitor (now using a 17″ Samsung LCD)
  3. A couple of Coolermaster 120mm fans (to lower temperature when loading the CPU/GPU)

Maybe I will do some overclocking to benchmark too! But most importantly, the desktop is for me to do some work and of course, play some games when I am free! 🙂

Lumix LX3 Accessories

Got a mail in the letter box. Errm? What is it? From Andy’s Camera Straps?

Lumix LX3 Accessories

Well, upon opening the envelope (bubble wrapped inside), the above greeted me. Yes, it’s a camera strap!

Lumix LX3 Accessories

Lug mount wrist strap with O-ring at S$18 and additional strap bumper O-ring at S$1 from Andy’s Camera Straps. Prices includes postage within Singapore. Other colours and model are available as well.

My configuration

  • Leather Colour : Black
  • Wrap Colour : Scarlet Red
  • O-ring Colour : Black

Lumix LX3 Accessories

I have attached the new strap to my Lumix Lx3 camera. How does it look? By the way, the strap is 7 3/4” (196 mm) long, hand-made and also 100% genuine cowhide leather! Very great quality camera strap indeed!

Lumix LX3 Accessories

The strap comes with a 1/2” split ring to attach to the lug of the camera. To prevent any unnecessary scratches from the split ring on the body of the camera, I opt for the additional strap bumper O-ring that is positioned between the split ring and lug. In fact, if you don’t fancy the lug mount version, you may want to go with the string wrist strap, neck strap or sling instead. 🙂

Lumix LX3 Accessories

Also have gotten a modified Ricoh LC-1 self-retaining lens cap at S$60 to replace the original lens cap. Before changing to this, every time when I am taking photos, I have to remove the original lens cap and keep it somewhere safe (very much like using a DSLR camera). But with the Ricoh LC-1, there is no need to do so anymore. 😛

[Update]: Refer to http://bit.ly/5iBvRg for Singapore contact to buy the modified LC-1 but I am not too sure whether he provides international shipping. Those who want the original Ricoh LC-1 can get from Amazon (Link).

Lumix LX3 Accessories

Transform and roll-out! Haha! Modified Ricoh LC-1 in action upon power up at 24mm.

Lumix LX3 Accessories

The modified Ricoh LC-1 comes with special filed-down rubber spacer that are added to all the three flaps. No shadows or vignetting at all!

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with both loots and will probably start to source around for a handy protective case for my LX3. Will update soon!

Just gotten myself a replacement camera not long ago. Although it packed inside an Olympus paperback but it’s definitely not an Olympus. It’s actually a high-end compact prosumer camera – Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 costs me S$698 and it comes with the following freebies – 8GB SD Card, mini tripod, cleaning kit, screen protector and a third-party extra battery. For review and specs for LX3, please see here (dpreview.com).

The new versus the old – Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8. The FX8 have served me well over the years and it was about time to upgrade it for my street photography use. If you want to know more about FX8, please see here. I would also like to lay my hands on the rumored new Micro Four Thirds Panasonic GF1 too but it’s still a rumor until officially announced. Right? 😛

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

At the side lens barrel of LX3, you can easily change between Autofocus, Macro and Manual Focus. This gives the more experienced folks a bit more control.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

The LX3 screen is amazing. In fact, it’s too good that you might have mistaken that you have taken a great shot! 😛

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

Changing aspect ratio is so easy on the LX3 as it’s on the lens barrel. There is no need to go several layers deep into the software menu just to make a change.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

Without going through the manual, I straight away took the new LX3 out for a test shoot (no settings done too!) – the photos as follows are either taken in intelligent auto (to test capturing of inpromptu situations) or manual mode. This evening shot of Capitol Building was taken around 7:15pm.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

Recently I got my hands on a Lenovo ThinkPad X200s. A ultra-compact and portable 12.1″ notebook for the mobile road warriors. It is similar to Lenovo ThinkPad X200 except that it’s lighter and less powerful.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

The notebook comes in the familiar clean and professional matte-black look (some argued it’s boring). But still, the design was sturdy and solid to the feel.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

Right side of the notebook comes with 1 USB, 1 earphone, 1 microphone and 1 modem.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

The left side consists of 1 power jack, 1 heat fan, 2 USB, 1 VGA, 1 Ethernet, wireless switch and 1 ExpressCard 54mm slot.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

12.1 WXGA (1280×800) screen, 150GB Hard Disk Drive, Wifi/bluetooth, 2GB RAM and Integrated Graphics. The cup beside is my coffee. 😛

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

This model comes with Intel® Celeron® M processor 723 (1.2GHz, 1MB L2, 800MHz FSB) processor. I will be using this notebook for emails, word processing, chatting, etc. Nothing that uses a lot of processing power.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

Keyboard is nice to the touch and no irritating rattling to disturb other surrounding folks.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

The X200s comes with standard red-colored TrackPoint only (no touchpad – believe to save space).

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

The Lenovo ThinkPad X200s also comes with an integrated camera for your video conferencing needs.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

Extra red TrackPoint rubber for replacing worn ones.

Size comparison – old IBM ThinkPad T42 (left) and new Lenovo ThinkPad X200s (right).

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

The Lenovo ThinkPad X200s screen was bright, clean and crisp although I was still not getting used to a the 12.1 inch yet.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

I always have the feeling that my IBM ThinkPad T42 screen (left) is somewhat yellowish. This is further confirmed when I place it side-by-side with my new Lenovo ThinkPad X200s. Both notebooks are showing a blank page in Firefox.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

Running PC Marks on both notebooks. IBM ThinkPad T42 did not manage to complete successfully and I didn’t bother to re-try.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

最近我刚刚换了一台新的Lenovo ThinkPad X200s手提电脑。只有12.1英寸既方便又薄确实适合流动式运作的专业人士。和Lenovo ThinkPad X200挺像的不过软件差了点和比较轻。

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

笔记本电脑类似以往的磨砂黑色外观(有些人认为没新鲜感)。但是设计坚固。

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

笔记本电脑右侧搭配一个USB接口,1个耳机,1个麦克风和1个调制解调器。
