I still love you, SE K810i

You have been with me for the past 2 years, serving loyally and diligently. A few days back, you gave your 10000th shot. This post is intended to highlight what we have gone through together, and to remind me how amazing you are with your powerful Cyber-shot.

Well the most prominent feature of yours must be none other than the Xenon flash you emit. For a small camera like you, that's a pretty good flash you provide. As a result, I can shoot great photos despite being in dim or zero light condition.

The next favourite feature is certainly your Document Mode. This mode has given me tremendous amount of convenience and satisfaction. The words captured are so sharp, so readable. You save me all the time and hassle of having to copy everything into papers. With just one snap, hundreds of words are captured, ready to be viewed anytime.

Nice sharp writing

With time, I realize that your Document Mode can do more than that. It can serve as a macro-mode as well, capturing nice close-up photos. I love to experiment the macro mode the most. I love the details. I love the sharpness.

Diligent ants

Beautiful caterpillar

No teardrops on my guitar

Flowers

Another incidental discovery is the effect of capturing an image while shaking your body LOL. Never thought it can be that awesome.

Shake your body. The strings of light are actually created from lamp posts' bulb.

I also enjoy shooting the nature with you. You perform really well under bright condition.

Green leaves

Old trees

You are always there for me whenever there are memorable moments & priceless expressions worth capturing. With your fast reaction speed, these moments are now eternalized.

Meow...

Hahaha

No acrophobia!!

Surgery!!

Come rain.......

Or come shine......

or gloomy day....

Sunrise....

Or sunset...

..., you did your job as splendidly as always.


10000 and counting. I can't believe we have come this far in 2 years. Despite having only 3 Megapixels, you manage to capture images well beyond my expectation. My only complaint is the lack of contrast, which can be overcome with a little tweaking using Irfan View or Picasa.


I am well-aware of the fact that you are not the best camera in the market. Heck, your SE brothers are going size 12! You are no longer the King of Camera Phones, a title you held 2 years ago. Still, you never break down, you never have a major malfunction, and you persistently give me great photos. You also fulfill my occasional urge to cam-whore LOL!


I still love you, SE K810i. You rock!!
