I got the chance to try out two of their products – the SMX-C20 Digital Camcorder and the ST550 Digital Camera. The festive colors and fantbulous designs of the houses in Lucban, Quezon were easy to catch using the SMX C20 camcorder (for the videos) and the ST550 (for the photos).

I have to admit though that I really wanted to try out their other products (specially the NX10 – a next generation camera), but they only had three units during the event. Then again, there’s always a next time, right?
The Pahiyas Festival at Lucban was the perfect place not only to eat free food, but also to appreciate a Filipino tradition. You cannot go to Pahiyas and not take photos and videos, becuase trust me, you would definitely want to capture priceless moments. These memories are best saved not only in your mind and heart but also in the memory cards of your digital imaging gadgets!
Samsung Electronics Phils Corp (SEPCO) made that possible for me and other bloggers as they unveiled their latest line-up of cameras and camcorders which are designed to meet the consumers’meed for high quality digital imaging and easy photo management. One of the good things I appreciate about Samsung is that they have the consumers’ needs in mind when they develop new products. They focus on enhancing usability with technology advancements that help the consumer take and manage photos better. And all these while improving sharing and connectivity features.
Here are some of the latest innovative products they launched:

When I was younger, I have always wanted to own a laptop. Seeing laptops on TV and in movies was such a treat for me. When I was finally able to own one of my own (bought using my own hard-earned money), I was too excited to put to use the idea of a computer placed on my lap. Thirty minutes into using it, I was reminded that during those times, people were arguing about what it was supposed to be called. Notebooks, portables, laptops – these were what I heard as names of that thing. So what reminded me? The HEAT on my lap! That was when I realized why some people refused to call laptops as such – because the heat from the machine could actually toast or boil parts of a man’s reproductive system. So ever since then, I called them “notebooks” or my “portable computer”. If a laptop keeps your lap hot (and not because it does a lap dance), it should never be called a laptop.
Recently, Acer Philippines, Inc. brought to the Philippine shores something that would actually make me start calling laptops as laptops again. Acer, one of the world’s most trusted computer manufacturers, recently unveiled their new Timeline series. One of the more impressive (and non-technical) features of the series is their environmentally-friendly nature. I’m not really a great tech guy (but I do know some specs of computers and mobile phones), so I will share some of the things that I know about this product series.

We all want our portable devices to last long when we’re bringing them away from the house right? (Continue reading…)

I’ve been a member of Sandbox for a while now and the reason why I’m saying "well on its way" because there are still some quirks here and there that Sandbox has to fix.
