Nikon 1 J2

All of you should know that for bloggers, cameras are very very important!
(as important as the internet - need internet to upload)

Sadly, I've been making lots of complains about my current compact camera.

Used it for about 2 years plus and now I think it is soooo lousy!
Initially I felt it was okay for non-blogging photos (bought it when I haven't started blogging).
But when it comes to blogging, you will want better quality photos to look more professional right?

So...

image taken from weheartit and edited by me

Managed to take lots of not bad quality photos in USA because I was using a DSLR.

But problem with that DSLR is that it is super bulky and cannot take videos with it :(
Also, I don't think it matches any of my outfits!

I want something that has the size of a compact, yet able to take decent photos.
And at the same time, something that matches my outfits!

In conclusion, a pretty semi-pro camera?

Was eyeing a couple of cameras.

I'm here to share one with you today!

Nikon 1 J2

It comes in 6 pretty colors!

Which color do you think suits you more?
For me I witnessed a battle before deciding on one!

Was contemplating between pink and white.

Guess who won?
WHITE WON!
I guess I will stick to getting a white one :)

Been using a pink camera for very long so I guess it is time for a change?

Also, I think it will match my clothings more ;)

P.S Continue reading to find out which outfits I think matches the color I picked ;)

♥♥♥

Specifications:

Type: Digital camera with support for interchangeable lenses

-> Can get different types of lenses for different purposes!

Effective angle of view: Approx. 2.7x lens focal length (35 mm format equivalent)

Shooting modes: Auto photo (3 : 2); creative, with a choice of the following options: P, S, A, M (3 : 2), night landscape (3 : 2), night portrait (3 : 2), backlighting (3 : 2), easy panorama (normal horizontal 40 : 7, normal vertical 8 : 25, wide horizontal 80 : 7, wide vertical 4 : 25), soft (3 : 2), miniature effect (3 : 2) and selective color (3 : 2); Smart Photo Selector (3 : 2); movie (HD 16 : 9, slow motion 8 : 3); Motion Snapshot (16 : 9)

-> So many modes I LOVE IT! I am someone who buys camera in order to use these different shooting modes. Also the reason why I bought my previous camera (for the miniature mode when it was just released).

Shutter Speed: 1/16,000-30 s in steps of 1/3 EV

-> No idea what this means. But I've seen their sample images here and they even have 1/1600 second shutter speeds! That is really fast!

ISO sensitivity: ISO 100-3200 in steps of 1 EV

White balance: Auto, incandescent, fluorescent, direct sunlight, flash, cloudy, shade, preset manual, all except preset manual with fine tuning

Dimensions (W x H x D): Approx. 106.0 x 61.0 x 29.8 mm

-> It's so small! YAY! No more bulky cameras!

♥♥♥

Two really interesting features!

 
If I had this when I was in USA, I won't have to one hand hold my DSLR and another hand hold my phone to capture videos and photos and the same time! Also I won't have to retake so many photos!

♥♥♥

I know what you are thinking now...
"So what Nikon J2 has good specs? DSLR give me specs that are as good too!"
BUT DSLR IS NOT FASHIONABLE YOU KNOW!
That bulky thing that I only use when I have no choice.
It hurts the neck and the arm okay. The weight of DSLRs are horrible!
These few days sis kept saying that her wrist hurts after using DSLR for one full day.

Don't believe Nikon 1 J2 can match your outfits very easily?
Here is your evidence! ;)

The images above were taken during CNY :)
See how the white camera Nikon 1 J2 matches both my day 1 and day 2 outfits?

I really wish I have this camera!! A REAL NIKON 1 J2!
Sadly I don't. So I put in the effort to print, paste on cardboard paper and slowly cut the photo!
Just so I can use it in the photos, to show how well it can match my outfits.

Btw, images were supposedly printed to be of the actual size of the camera!
But something happened and it became 0.5cm smaller, not much of a difference lahh :(
*cheers myself up* Cause I really wanted it be to of the actual size so you all can see how small it is.
It really really is very small!

Matches outfits effortlessly

I didn't even pick outfits that matches the camera.

I just chose what I wanted to wear then take a photo with it.

But they just match so well! Yay!

Reason why I love white color gadgets (though my favorite color is pink).

Small and easy to bring around
Only 106.0 x 61.0 x 29.8 mm!

Sleek and modern design
You HAVE to agree with this.
Not all semi-pro cameras are so pretty one okay.

What more can you ask from this camera?! It's perrrfecttt! :)
I know you all are loving this camera already right ;)
I mean who doesn't want a good camera that looks stylish, fashionable and does a great job?!

Time to look stylish and fashionable with Nikon 1 J2! Yay!

Tip: IT Show is coming soon ;) Best time to buy your gadgets!

Feecha

[sponsored post]

Have you heard about Feecha?

Feecha is the neighbourhood news app to see what’s happening around you – for example, a live band performing at the local bar, a really good dish at the hawker center, a funny observation on the MRT, a sale at the corner shop, or just a nice café to chill with friends.

Version 1 for Feecha launched last year to 50,000 readers in Singapore and Malaysia; they are now launching a Version 2 that is faster, bigger and better! Feecha is a mobile app made in Singapore. So do give your support okay!

The campaign is about driving awareness, education and downloads for Singapore and Malaysia.

Here's how the homepage looks like!

So first sign up and account and you are ready to go :)

How Feecha works?

1. Each feecha is a piece of news.

Feecha are those eyeball looking speech bubbles ;)

2. The bigger the feecha, the more popular.

Unpopular feechas get smaller over time. The map shows only the biggest feechas. 

Zooming out to all of Singapore, for example, will show only the top stories for all of Singapore!

3. Use Activity view to browse through smaller feechas that aren’t popular enough to make the map. 

If you see a good one, heart it so it can grow bigger!

If it grows bigger then it will have higher chances of appearing as top news! Good things must share!

4. If you follow an animal, 

that animal will bring you feechas from its neighbourhood.

This may be useful if you want to always know what’s happening in a certain area ;)

5. You are not only restricted to only the region nearby.

For instance, I am in school all the way at the other end of Singapore.

But I am looking for nice food in the East. I can easily use Feecha for it! 

All I need to do is to shift the map to that region I want to view.

Feecha pulls from multiple sources like Instagram, Foursquare and Meetup and then shows you what’s relevant about your neighbourhood. Our FeechaRank engine curates what’s good and relevant versus what’s not. It’s the only app that can tell you what’s happening in Tiong Bahru or Ang Mo Kio.

Example

Let's say you are in Pasir Ris and it is going to be lunch time in an hour.

No idea what to have for lunch?

Why not check out Feecha and see what are the food that people recommended nearby!

The above two photos are what I found on feecha!

Looks really yummy! Never new Pasir Ris area had such food.

Gonna try them one day ;)

Treasure Hunt

Open the app every time you are in a new area to play the Treasure Hunt.

If you’re lucky, you might win a prize! Just open the app and let it dig ;)

There are tablets, wireless headphones, speakers, gift certificates, t-shirts, caps and tote bags to be won. Check out feechatreasurehunt.com for more details.

I'm feecha-ing everyday :) Hope I win something one day! Yay!

Here is a Feecha that I just uploaded awhile ago.

Saw this huge can of mushroom while I was at Giant!

Easy to Feecha right?

I want to watch my Feecha grow!

This isn't mine though :( How I wish my Feecha is this big!

Soon it will be =P

Feecha is free for iPhone and Android :)

Get yours now from feecha.com!

You can find the full tutorial for the app here :)

Yay! Let's Feecha together :)

It's a really nice video right? I have to say Samsung is really one creative company!

Who will think of such a video for advertisement right?

P.S Find this video cool right? Share it on facebook! ;)

Now you should be thinking...
"Ok, a very interesting video indeed. But what's so good about this new technology?"

Ecobubble Technology

Saves 70% energy compared to a normal 40C eash cycle, with better wash results.

With the electricity bills getting higher and higher, 

I'm sure you would want a product which saves energy ;)

At the same time you can be eco-friendly! Time to play a part and help save the Earth!

Of course that is not the only pro of the washing machine ;)

Quiet Drive Motor & VRT

Less vibrations allow for peaceful washing.

You won't want to feel an earthquake when washing right?

Diamond Drum

Helps care for clothes and fabrics.

Won't want your pretty clothings get damaged. Do you?

Ceramic Heater

The anti-limescale element lasts up to three times longer.

Which means this washing machine can last really really long!

So many pros! Good right?

Pretty instagram prints which you can use as a decoration or simply as a bookmark!

above images all from portagram

Tip: How about using it to create a unique christmas card for your friends? Since christmas is around the corner and no one said you cannot have repeated prints ;) All you have to do is to upload the photo onto instagram, use Portagram to order the prints, and after you receive it you can write a personal note behind the photo for each of your friends!

Portagram is Singapore-based and for $6 you can get yourself twelve 3" x 3" prints!

Here's how you can easily get your good ol' photo prints!

1. Go to www.portagram.com and login using instagram

No need to worry about losing your password or anything, it's actually just to login into Instagram site then allowing your Instagram to be accessed by Portagram. So it's 100% safe! :)

2. Choose your photos

After you've allowed Portagram to access your Instagram, you can start choosing your photos!

Minimum quantity is one roll = 12 prints = $6 :)

3. Decide if you want to add a new roll or to checkout

If one roll isn't enough for you, just add a new roll! :)

For me, twelve prints wasn't enough #greedygirl so here's 24 prints, one sponsored, one bought! :)

At the end of choosing all your photos, if you decide that you want to replace some photos, you can click on them to remove them then click on the new photos you want to insert in. Also, if you think that you do not need as many rolls as you have clicked, you can easily delete a row by clicking the cross button as shown above.

4. Fill up your delivery details and place your order

Payment will be made through PayPal :)

Then all you have to do is to wait for your prints to arrive in your mailbox in 3-5 working days!

You can check you status order clicking on the "orders" tab after login.

So I order mine on Monday night and received them on Friday!
Love their air mail envelopes and also how they are neatly packed :)

Most importantly, love the prints!
(though them make me miss USA all over again) 

They really do bring back memories!

Those with sharp eyes, did you realize that there is a coupon code line in delivery details photo above?
