The IT Show Of The Year!



The largest consumer electronics and IT show started yesterday (till 3 Sept). It is filled from floor to high ceiling with stuff to make anyone think she died and went to geek heaven. This is the first time it was held in the cavernous halls of the Singapore Expo Halls 4 to 6. And it was overwhleming. All the major guys were there: Apple, Canon, Panasonic, Pentax, Creative, Samsung, Lenovo, Acer, Toshiba, Hitachi, on and on... Not to mention the local guys with some of the funkiest gadgets yet.

I was in search of a camera and was torn between Canon 800IS and Panasonic FX07. They both take great pictures, have high megapixels and image stabilisation. I trotted between 2 halls looking at and comparing the two. It was Panasonic that won me over with its sleek looks, ease of use and compact shape. Now to wade through 114 pages of how-tos for this pint-size wonder.
