Besides of all the N8 fuzz that went down today, i have managed to finalize and put up my extensive, high quality Nokia C5 Gallery! This is not only one of my best ever Picture Gallery, but also gives a good Taste of what my Nikon P100 can do. I absolutely love this Camera, and i also have a lot of Love to give to the Nokia C5. About 170 Euro for a Smartphone that misses WLAN, but features a new Version of Nokia Messaging, and has more, cool new OS Features on Symbian OS 3rd Version. A good build Quality, decent Battery Life and much more. Watch out over on Fonearena to see more Coverage in the next Days!

My Blog seems to turn more and more into a personal Blog at the moment, and well, its a good thing in some way, cause its truly “Thoughts from Hell” then. As you might know, I’m posting all my Phone Thoughts/Rants/Reviews, over on my Friend Varun’s Fone Arena, and I must say I’m really comfortable with this and afaik, my Posts produced some really nice Stats so far! My blog has been an extremely phone-centered Blog since its launch, not completely what i wanted, cause i also wanted to use this as Kind of a personal blog, to share my Interests like Photography, Movies, Videos and much more.
Thoughts from Hell will be updated more often from now on, I wasn’t really able to blog in the last few Weeks, due to other Involvements. Big Things, i can guarantee you that, and I’m very happy with my current Situation.
Anyways, I’ve purchased a brand spanking new Digital Camera 2 Weeks ago. I was really happy with my good ol’ Sony DSC-H20 and i was able to produce some stunning Pics with it thus far. However, i was on the Search for something better lately and decided to sell my Sony to the Parents of a good Friend, who are pretty happy with the Purchase from what I’ve heard. My favourite Camera type are Bridgecam. Those cameras are a middle between Pocketcams and DSLR’s in case you don’t know. The Lenses are fixed, but its not as huge as their bigger Brothers. So i went on a little Geek Shop Tour lately to a Media Markt in Vienna and tried the Object of Desire – the Olympus SP-800UZ. 14MP, 30x optical Zoom, 720p video and much more made this Cam my clear Favourite. Unfortunately, it looked much better on Paper and after i saw the rather grainy Display and a Camera that looked like a Pocketcam with huge Lense on it, i decided to skip it and look for another Model.
I had a look around in their Camera Department and my eyes fell on the Nikon Coolpix P100. More expensive than the Olympus, but the great Feel, a much finer and even adjustable Display made this Camera my prefered Option. My friend Markus, who also has a good Eye for Photography helped me with the Decision, so i decided to get the Nikon Coolpix P100. Want Specs!?

Okay, that was a lot of hi-tech stuff. The things i like my Cam the most, is the amazing 26x optical Zoom Quality. I think 10 Megapixel are just right for a Cam that Size, and having 1080p HD Video recording is yet another Plus. There’s an amazing Sport-Series Shoot Mode, that enables me to snap 120 Pictures per SECOND! The Display can be adjusted in different Position and Angles and there’s a LOT of different Settings and Modes that the Cam can be set up with, such as: Portrait, Landscape, Food, Musem, Panorama, Documents and much much more. The Handling is fantastic and the Cam always has enough Grip to fit tight in your Hand.

-> Nikon P100 Sample Shots
This is just a random Post to bring you some of the Pictures i did this Weekend with my Sony DSC-H20, a 10 Megapixel Bridgecam (or Superzoom), the Sony Ericsson Vivaz with 8.1 Megapixel, and a Nokia X6 with a 5 Megapixel Camera. Almost all of them were shot this Sunday, that I’ve spent with the Family. It was a fantastic sunny Day outside and the Nature is slowly starting to wake up again, a perfect Opportunity to see how good my Devices perform. I’m not a Photography Expert, and i can’t tell you great Details about all the Pictures, so take a look and make your own Judgements. I also threw in some Panorama Pictures that I did with the Sony Ericsson Vivaz. As usual, you can go on and watch all those Pictures and much much more in full Size over on my Flickr Page, by simply clicking on them!
